I could not have asked for a better wedding to end the season on! My next wedding isn’t until mid-Dec, so it was a little bittersweet to think about slowing down after an incredible year.
I knew this would be a special one. So many of you know my amazing second photographer, Danielle, and Bristol is a good friend of hers. I rememeber first meeting Bristol and her husband to be for their engagement session in Chicago. They had a story that was different than most. Luke headed off to training shortly after he proposed and the military kept them apart most of their engagement. But they stayed strong through it and I teared up hearing how Bristol was what kept him going. He adores her and it shows!! I am so excited for them and their new lives together!

When I first met these two, I remember Patti asking me if I was ok with tattoos. Little does she know that I am basically obsessed with tattoos! I think they are beautiful! And when I saw how many she had, I fell in love with her even more. Patti is so radiant and she was just glowing on her big day. Beyond just being a gorgeous couple, these two are so laid back and easy to be around. There were a few mishaps on the wedding day but I love thay it didn’t phase them one bit! Their love for each other is also just the sweetest. You can tell that they geuniely love to just be together and they are in their own little world which I love! Their wedding day fit them so well. It was intimate and they were surrounded by those who mattered most to them It was such an honor to be apart of it!

Everything Patti does is so classy and she just is so put together even between photos! I had to laugh because my in between photos are the worst

The inside of Wilder Mansion was stunning and perfect for some bridal shots!

Their bridal party was tiny! Just one on each side! I love how different this was for me and it was fun to have a small group!

Sisters! What a sweet shot

I could have shot their portraits all day! I just told them to do their thing and they would be flawless for every shot!!









Love this shot!!









There are no words! You both are stunning!

I love that everybody is crazy dancing around them and these two were literally having their own moment on the dance floor! They are crazy about each other!

Where do I even start with this wedding? I have been looking forward to this ALL YEAR! These two started out as clients and I now can call them friends! Jessica and I have been texting back and forth all year about little details and with every one my excitement grew. When I think of a word that describes them, genuine comes to mind. They are genuine with their love to each other and to others. This day has been a long time coming. They are high school sweethearts and have been through so much over the years. I love to just watching them interact. Jess is quirky and hilarious and they banter back and forth but it is clear that Luke adores every part of her. They go out of their way to make sure people are cared for. For example, they got me the cutest mug and gift card to my favorite coffeeshop and gave it to me the morning of THEIR wedding. And that was just the beginning. Throughout the day I saw how they were so kind to everyone they came in contact with. I am getting emotional just typing this! I just love them both and am so happy that I got to be apart of this day!!!

They got ready at his Mom’s house and it was one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen. I didn’t want to leave!





The girls!

Luke’s mom had a surprise for Jessica! The venue wasn’t far from where they were getting ready and so she had a horse drawn carriage ride! She looks like a princess!
