Erin and Brandon’s wedding at the Pear Tree Estate in Champaign was an incredibly beautiful day from start to finish. This venue is absolutely stunning, and I loved being with this wonderful couple and their closest family and friends to celebrate them.

The first look was deeply important for Erin and Brandon, and it was such a magical moment for me to capture for them. Erin walking down the stairs toward Brandon and then finally reaching him was so special– the look of pure love and joy on both of their faces when they see each other is priceless. I loved their burgundy and blush wedding colors, such a unique and lovely pairing I don’t see too often! Their wedding was also and “Unplugged Ceremony”– no phones were allowed! It created a super intimate atmosphere, and I think all couples should consider doing this for their big day. The day was spent with love and laughter, and I wish Erin and Brandon nothing but enduring happiness.

“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.”

I want to tell your story

Wedding photographs should tell the full story: the candid joy; the family photos grandma loves; the dance photos that leave everyone feeling connected long after the music stops playing…we get to know each other throughout the planning process – that’s why every package comes with engagement photos as well. So by your wedding day, we’re old friends, you’re comfortable with my camera, and your moments are genuine and never forced.
