Where do I honestly start with this wedding? Once you see the photos you'll understand my struggle. This was our last event of the season and we got to shoot it at one of our favorite venues, DC Estate Winery in South Beloit, WI. We had the most beautiful fall weather, magical golden sunset light, a picture perfect bride and groom with gigantic + fun families, and the prettiest wedding dress in history. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT. Oh, I know. Plates full of Italian pastries? Because we had that too.

We were so excited to shoot this beautiful fall wedding at The Brauer Barn in Winnebago, IL. Granted, it felt more like a mid-July wedding rather than late September, but for the purposes of this blog we're going to pretend it wasn't 1,439 degrees. By the way, if you're looking to have a barn wedding in the area - definitely look up The Brauer Barn! Not only is it a gorgeous space, but the owners are super awesome to work with and very accommodating.

So obviously I'm a little behind on my fall wedding blogs. It's only March, but who's counting. This wedding was a completely different experience - so laid back. So easy! Crammed, stressful timelines with lots of unpredictables are usually the norm (keeping it real) so this was a welcomed break in our packed fall schedule.

I don't know where to begin with Luke and Britta's wedding. We were so fortunate to shoot this absolutely perfect day with perfect weather and a perfect couple. And yea, I'm gonna keep saying perfect. Not only was it a September wedding, which is our favorite month because all the light is gorgeous and no one is sweating or freezing, but the entire day was full of unique elements that made us very excited. And that's the most important thing on anyone's wedding day: that we are excited.

I love all weddings, but fall weddings are always my favorite. And I've got news for you - I've been trying to write shorter blogs, but that isn't happening today. Courtney, the bride, really did an incredible job with her wedding details and colors as well as incorporating sentimental pieces throughout. Her bouquet, from Cypress House in Rochelle, IL, included red, dusty pink, deep purple, and feather details, all wrapped up in her grandmother's handkerchief. After the wedding, the bridal party took pictures down by the marina before heading into the reception at the Rockford Country Club. Inside, the tables included centerpieces with mismatched vases with various types of florals, berries, and succulents that tied in the feathers as well. Did my heart just skip a beat? Table assignments were victorian keys and favors were homemade raspberry jam, tied with lace ribbon. The desert bar included handmade mini pies from Kate's Pie Shop in Rockford, IL in varying flavors, candy, cupcakes from Halo Cupcake, coffee and drinks. It was a perfect day.
