A beautiful small town wedding for Casey and Adam.

I could tell right away that Casey and Adam’s small town wedding day would be filled with the most beautiful details. Casey even included feathers from a turkey she shot in their floral details! After the sweetest morning of getting ready with friends and family, it was time to head to the church. 

Despite growing up eating in L’erable for taco Wednesdays, I’d actually never been to this church. When I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised to see the ornate details of the interior. It created the perfect backdrop for their small town wedding. Photos in that space became some of my favorite portraits of the day!

Then it was off to the reception venue at Kankakee County Fairgrounds for an exciting evening with the couple’s 400+ guests! I LOVE shooting small town weddings of this size because I usually see some familiar faces, like Adam’s groomsman Trey, who was a Mager Image Senior! 

The fairgrounds are the perfect venue, especially for large small town weddings. The reception building offers the perfect amount of space for a crowd and the most beautiful lighting setup! A few of my absolute favorite weddings have happened in this space with amazing couples like Gabbi + Klinton and  Cheyenne + Logan!

In short, it was a GORGEOUS day for the most beautiful couple (I mean, just look at those eyes! Their future children are sure to be blessed)!
