Last night was my FIRST wedding back after the pandemic shut down the wedding industry (well…shut down the world is more like it). I was feeling a lot of anticipation as it had been over 5 months since my last wedding to photograph was mid December. I’ve spent the last 3 months of the pandemic diving into furthering my photography education online and was excited to put my new ideas into action.
She chose meaningful details throughout the day and I loved how she wore her great aunt’s pearls as a finishing touch to her wedding look.
Whitney and Travis chose Eberley Brooks Events’ Sage Chapel for its’ classic look. She loved the stained glass and the old white church feel that it was designed around.
Travis’ dad officiated the wedding. Wouldn’t that be such a special privilege?
Whitney was the youngest of all of the grandchildren and the last one of her immediate family to get married. She knew all of the bridal ways from seeing so many family members get married and even know the perfect “look longingly into the flowers” look. LOL!
This 115 year old stained glass was sourced from an old church in St. Elmo, IL. I just HAD to do a bridal silhouette in front of it! Isn’t it gorgeous??
Oh little Blakely. I couldn’t keep my camera from moving towards this adorable flower girl all day! She had SO much personality and I could make a whole book of photos just from her shenanigans and faces!
Whitney chose to have a quilt made to sign instead of using a paper guestbook. What a unique and timeless idea!
Like I said… LOVED this flower girl!!
I’m so glad that COVID-19 didn’t cancel this wedding… but you knew we would do a photo with the masks to remember this time.
Congratulations you two!!! Your wedding was so beautiful and I was honored to be your photographer!
