A  Rustic Summer Wedding at the Conference Center, Decatur, Illinois
– June 16th, 2018 –

Another Wednesday, another wedding! One I couldn’t have been more excited for. A dear childhood friend from my hometown, Hillary, and her perfect love, Brian, got married Saturday. In the week leading up, I (and I think I speak on behalf of most the bridal party/family/guests) became a bit hesitant about an outdoor wedding with the temperatures and humidity slowly rising. Knowing the risks of an outdoor wedding in June though, it was an easy change to move the ceremony inside and in hindsight, a great decision or I fear we would have had people down due to the heat! I have to give a shout out to the staff at the Decatur Conference Center for helping facilitate the move! Despite the quick change, everything went stupendously. Hillary and Brian met while attending Millikin University, so it was fitting for us to travel there after the ceremony for photos, and I think those are my favorites of the day! Since it was so unbelievably hot, we tried not to be outside for too terribly long, but I think we made good use of the time we did have. The campus is so gorgeous and made for an awesome backdrop for photos. Hillary + Brian, thank you again for thinking of me to capture such a wonderful day in your lives. I hope you enjoy!
