These two may look familiar from last week’s blog post. Today we have Emily and Sean’s big day at Carmon’s in Champaign!

This venue was going through a change in ownership right around this time. Which, hello stress, but Emily’s coordinator totally kicked ass and handled everything with ease so Emily could enjoy her day. I am SO glad the new owners are planning to keep Carmon’s as a wedding venue too. It’s one of my favorite Champaign venues! Just check out Anna and Jacob‘s big day to see more of this gorgeous venue.

The best part about Carmon’s has always been that the getting ready space is right upstairs, and it’s gorgeous! It’s the perfect one-stop-shop for a wedding day and I love it. I hope the new owners get to provide that for their future couples as well!

Emily and Sean got married at a church not too far away from the venue. It was a beautiful church and made for some STUNNING ceremony shots. And just look at the bridal party photos we got outside the church! These may be some of my favorite bridal party shots ever. There was so much fall color surrounding the church, it was like they custom ordered these backdrops for their photos!

Their reception was also just simply elegant and beautiful. It was full of candle light and gorgeous florals! And we got to do some bridal party shots inside of Carmon’s, which are always some of my faves too. It’s just an awesome venue for the colder weather especially.

Emily’s dad gave an amazing welcome speech to kick everything off and it got me. He was such a great storyteller and the whole thing just gave me goosebumps! Then we finished the night off with a fun group shot of the whole reception and it perfectly captured how that whole night felt. Just so much fun from start to finish!
