Welcome to the most gorgeous fall wedding! Jen and Joe are the sweetest people. From the moment I met with them I knew I wanted to photograph their wedding, and I got to! Prior to the wedding day I had done engagement photos and a family session with them and the girls so I felt like family by the time I arrived on wedding day.

It was chilly, but man did we get the most amazing fall reds, yellows and oranges on the trees! The married at the Century Memorial Chapel at Naper Settlement which was built in 1864! So it’s seen a wedding or two! I loved that they incorporated Joe’s girls throughout the day. Not just for photos, but in a candle lighting ceremony and later in doing a family dance.

After I do’s we took some photos and headed to the venue before everyone was frozen solid!

Their reception room was gorgeous!!! Jenna at Avant Gardenia out did herself with the florals and the head table was a masterpiece! Drinks were poured, toasts were had and they danced the night away!

Congrats to the newlyweds and thank you for allowing me to capture your wedding day.
