Typically I always get a tad bit more nervous for a wedding day when I know one (or both) of the people personally. Katelyn & I went to high school together but yet as I drove down to their big day I was filled with nothing but excitement. I had a GREAT feeling about Katelyn & Sean’s day and my feelings were completely right. Set at Kilbuck Creek in Monroe Center, Illinois beneath a scape of large oak trees these two had a day that was full of joy, love, heartfelt speeches, and moments that I will remember for forever.

With a mum lined aisle full of vibrant yellows and reds that tied in beautiful with their ceremony table scapes, it was the first wedding that I shot that felt fully “fall” this season & it was done absolutely perfectly. Honestly, I think I’m going to wrap up the verbiage on their day because I just want you to see the pictures. I’m quite obsessed with them and I hope they make you feel like you lived through their day!
