How excited am I about this wedding? TOO EXCITED!

I first met Leslie and Jonathan at Coartney and CJ’s wedding in 2012. It was a very memorable wedding for me and I was thrilled when Leslie reached out her with engagement news! I have been looking forward to this wedding now for over a year, getting to celebrate with them and all their friends – many that I know, or have photographed!

I was also excited to shoot at a brand new location called the Pear Tree Estates– because it’s few and far between that we central Illinois photographers get something new, am I right? It was simply gorgeous.

Leslie and Jonathan put a lot of time and effort into creating their wedding day and it showed in everything. They had such a beautiful theme and style, with inspiration from Crate & Barrel , the venue was dazzling, the weather was amazing, the details romantic, and all together this was no less than a perfect day.

I am so pleased to share the highlights with you today!

Every piece of their paper art was themed and beautiful. It was a pleasure photographing such beauties!

And how cute is it that they had these dresses all hanging in such a perfect design for me when I arrived. 

Those pesky summer mosquitos all had us running for protection! However it also made for fun “real” shots of behind the scenes.

Thanks for following and leave some love in the comments.

Until next time.
