Happy Tuesday guys!! You know what Tuesday’s are around here… these are the days we get to share the wedding we shot over the weekend! So, you KNOW we love our Tuesday’s… and today is no exception to that. 🙂

On Saturday, we got to hang out with our sweet friends Kristen & Taylor all day long, and you guys, it was such a dream! Illinois was experiencing some ridiculously hot and humid weather the day before these guys’ wedding day, and we were just hoping it would break before Saturday! Saturday morning, it absolutely poured outside and we think that made the weather a little more bearable- thank goodness! Between that rainstorm and a little bit of wind while we were taking portraits, it was much better than we were expecting!!

We started off the day with Kristen and Taylor getting ready at St. John’s Lutheran Church, which is super conveniently located right across from Ewing Manor… so of course, we had to do our portraits there!! We took some darling married portraits at the very same place where Kristen and Taylor got engaged, and finished off the night with a pretty darn fun party over at The Doubletree Hotel!

What a whirlwind of a beautiful day this was… add on top of that the fact that Kristen and Taylor are hands down one of the kindest couples we’ve ever had the privilege of working with! We’re serious, guys- while I was hanging out with Kristen and Luke was walking Taylor to the first look location, Kristen was asking me all about how our first anniversary celebration was and what we did to commemorate our first year married. How cute is she?! Even Kristen and Taylor’s Maid of Honor and Best Man mentioned how genuinely KIND these two are in their speeches… it’s simply incredible.

Kristen and Taylor, we are so glad we connected in the crazy way we did and that you guys chose us to document your stunning wedding day! Thank you for welcoming us into your celebration and for being so sweet to us. We’ve loved getting to know you two over the course of the past few months, and we could not be more excited for you two. Enjoy your honeymoon, friends, and enjoy this little preview into your darling day! Yay!!

Xoxo!
Caitlin and Luke
