Les and Jill’s wedding was unbelievable. It was at Jill’s family home in Rockford, Illinois next to open land and big blue sky. Confession. Jill is one of my best friends. I did what I tell all photographers NEVER to do. I was the photographer AND a bridesmaid! Aaaack! I just couldn’t let anyone else do it. Eric shot amazing stuff all day long and we brought in our good friend Janet, from oijoyphotography to help! I am SO SO glad we did. So between the 3 of us we have an UNGODLY amount of amazing photos. We played tag team, and all in all I was so glad we did it! ( I still can’t say I reccommend it)
The wedding was almost all DIY and loaded with love from family and friends towards the new Mr. and Mrs. Later this week, I will share all the beautiful details on one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve been a part of. ( I mean I know I’m biased but seriously amazing!!)
Here’s a small sneak peek!
And yes, this is me shooting in my bridesmaid dress. Yes, I’m fully aware that it’s ridiculous.
MUCH MUCH more to come soon!
