Meet Alayna and Scott! I was so so thrilled when I heard from Scott about shooting his wedding as we go way back to our IU days where we both played club volleyball.
Everything about this day was amazing! Alayna wore a gorgeous lace gown for the ceremony and then changed into a show stopping backless gown for the party. We had a beautiful fall day and a super fun wedding party. What more could anyone ask for?!
Congratulations to the newlyweds! Here are some of my favorites from their day.

It’s no secret that I love Oak Brook Bath & Tennis and when you add in a gorgeous day and am amazing couple it’s a win win win!
I started out the day with Kristin and the ladies at her mom’s house while my second shooter Carrie met up with the guys. We got some cute photos with the furry members of the family and their front room had the most amazing light for some bridal portraits.
From there we headed over to the venue for first look and wedding party photos. They married outside in front of all their friends and family. As part of the ceremony they had two friends sing a song and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a dry eye left at the end, myself included.
After the I do’s guests enjoyed the outdoor space for cocktail hour before moving in to dance the night away!

Meet Joe & Elaine! You may remember them from their engagement session (you can see that HERE).
These two are so sweet and genuine I was thrilled when they picked me to be their photographer. We had a beautiful day for their wedding which started with a ceremony at their local church. I love all the details they incorporated throughout the day. Everything from the personalized charm on the bridesmaids bouquet, to the hand drawn anime character they used as table number to the precious moments cake topper and the “Cardis” made by the groom!
