Rustic-elegance. A concept not many can achieve, but when it’s done right it’s unforgettable.

I had the pleasure of capturing Chase and Kambrilyn’s beautiful wedding in Litchfield IL.

When I arrived at Fearless Beauty Company, I was greeted with great energy from the bride and her bridesmaids. The atmosphere was beautiful and marked the start of Kambrilyn’s special day. It was beautiful to see Kambrilyn and her mother share a special moment together before the crazy schedule began.

After everyone was done getting ready, we drove to a family property not too far from Walton Park where the bride’s father was waiting. Kambrilyn and her father shared a special moment during their first look. Dad had a few jokes (they were quite good) and we moved into the bridesmaids’ photos.

I moved over to Walton Park where the groomsmen were getting photos taken for a special moment between Chase and a local duck.

Now it was show-time. The big moment for the Bride and Groom was on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I absolutely loved the heartfelt vows, you could tell they spent a great deal of time to make sure their words were perfect for this moment. The tying of the 3 strands is such a beautiful representation of a marriage with its foundation in God.

The ceremony ended and it was picture time! It was a revolving door of family and friends capturing their moment with the newlyweds. We had beautiful scenery and the sun started to go down giving us gorgeous lighting for the couple.

It was awesome to learn about the couple through the speeches at the reception. Everyone who spoke offered a different perspective on the couple and shared their memories with Chase and Kambrilyn.

Dinner was fantastic, tortellini will always have a special place in my heart. At this time of the night everyone who had a hand in planning, working, or just being a part of the day takes a sigh of relief. There is only one thing left to do, the exit.

I can’t thank Chase and Kambrilyn’s families enough for choosing me to capture their special day. I had a great time with everyone and felt supported throughout the day.

Congratulations to Chase and Kambrilyn Lauderdale!
