Finally breaking my social media hiatus to share a wedding from this weekend!
There was something incredibly special about this wedding day. The carefully picked details, the loud moments spent getting ready with friends getting ready, the heartfelt first looks, the belly laughs from the officiants speech, and the people who matter most gathered together to celebrate a lifetime of love 🤍
Jada and Mitchell’s beautiful wedding began with a heartfelt ceremony at United Christian Church in Mattoon, Illinois, where every detail was carefully planned and family and friends were happy to help wherever they were needed. The natural light coming through the stained glass windows in the church was STUNNING and made a perfect backdrop for an intimate ceremony!
The celebration continued at the Thelma Keller Convention Center, where family and friends filled the room with laughter, happy tears, hugs, and dancing. Even was hot and it showered off and on, the clouds that filled the sky parted just in time for golden hour and we ended the day with a quick power session for portraits with the bride and groom!
These are the moments I love documenting most - the genuine emotions that unfold naturally, allowing you to relive your wedding day exactly as it felt. Congratulations Jada 🐶🐶🐱🐱🐱👦👶
