Since Lisa and Alex live in Washington DC, I didn’t meet them until the night before their wedding at Allerton Park in Monticello, Illinois. What a sweet, lovely couple they are. And they both come from such nice families. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with them. Lisa and the girls got ready in the bridal sweet in the Allerton Mansion. I loved how the room was flooded with natural light. It gave me great pleasure photographing the getting-ready moments. And then the wedding in the Fu Dog Garden was just perfect in the late afternoon light.  And what a surprise when the groom, a quiet reserved young man, was told he could now kiss the bride. A little warning to the photographer would have been a good idea! He almost took the bride right out of the picture! And you can only see a small portion of the minister’s face, but there’s no doubt she was surprised too. A reception followed in Allerton Mansion. It was a wonderful day with some of the nicest people I have ever met.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your wonderful day.

I loved photographing this couple. So beautiful and so much fun. A farmer and a vet student. With a real love of the land and ability to have fun. With a wedding right outside their back door. A true country wedding. I loved it. The boots, the music, the playfulness. And two wonderful families.

I have a lot of favorites. Make sure you scroll down all the way to the cake photos. Like I said; a pretty fun couple. The dancing is pretty sweet too.

Enjoy!

A sneak peek for Cherri. It was kind of warm and muggy, but you would never know it by the photos we got. You were great!
