Spencer + Kathleen | A charming Illinois Wedding

Beauty. Elegance. Bliss. Emotion. The marriage ceremony & celebration for Spencer and Kathleen was one of the most charming we've experienced. The love they have for each other is obvious, and when you added in the love their families have for each of them, it was absolutely touching! This August wedding in Elmhurst, Illinois goes down as one of the most beautiful—in every sense of the word—that we've ever had the pleasure of photographing.

I'm SO thrilled to share their wedding story and image highlights...

PJ + Sarah | A lovely, pink Illinois wedding

Gorgeous wedding details in shades of pink, lacy touches, and overjoyed family and friends surrounded PJ and Sarah on their wedding day at Elmhurst College. The architecture of Hammerschmidt Memorial Chapel made for a picturesque backdrop and setting for their ceremony. The location was extra special because Sarah was attending Elmhurst during the time she fell in love with PJ. We couldn't have asked for a better forecast, either—just a tiny bit of rain in the morning, ensuring good luck for the couple and lush greenery for later in the day. You Name It Events added their flair to this celebration, too, ensuring a flawless look and flow of events. 

So many memories were made throughout the whole day, including the dance floor at Drury Lane later that evening! These two families were a joy to be around and they sure know how to throw a party. Chad and I were truly honored to capture the first chapter of PJ & Sarah's married love story.

I am SO excited to share these highlights from their beautiful wedding day...

How PJ won over Sarah | Elmhurst Engagement

Sarah was attending Elmhurst College four hours away from her best friend who was attending Western Illinois University. In August of 2008, Sarah made a visit to Western and the two girls indulged themselves with a night out on the town together. It was serendipity that later on, they ended up meeting PJ and his roommate outside her apartment. They all enjoyed a fun, memorable evening together. Several months passed and when PJ ran into Sarah's best friend again one night, he asked her to tell Sarah to come back for another visit. He said, "We are in love, she just doesn't know it yet." Two months later, Sarah came back and the two hit it off. The rest is history!

As you look through these image highlights of PJ & Sarah's Elmhurst, IL engagement session from this summer, I hope you enjoy the details of their love story...
