Abby + Stephen | Second Shooting
Pear Tree Estates, Champaign, Illinois
Happy wedding Wednesday, y’all! Since I’ve had a couple weeks wedding free, I wanted to share Abby + Stephen’s gorgeous Pear Tree Estate wedding I second shot this summer with the ever awesome Holly with Holly Birch Photography. I met up with Holly that morning just in time for the first looks. I hadn’t been there while Holly did the morning detail shots of the dress, so I hadn’t got to see Abby’s dress before their first looks, but WOW, when I did! It was gorgeous! The base layer was a coffee colored satin with layers of blush and blue tulle draped over the top and beautifully accented with very detailed beading, and it had POCKETS! How awesome! I was in awe all day. It was perfect and I loved how it would change colors ever so slightly in different light.
We ventured out to Lake of the Woods in Mahomet for some early bridals before the ceremony, then headed back to Pear Tree to photograph details. I loved the blush tones of the bridesmaids dresses (also with pockets!) against the contrast of the black groomsmen tuxes. The reception was complete with their favorite literature as table markers rather than plain ‘ol numbers, which was awesome! The couple was both into literature, so there were books all over the place, and they even used old library cards for place cards! I love seeing how different couples put their twist on a wedding day, and Abby + Stephen decided to replace the traditional cake and cupcakes with none other than fresh DONUTS! Let me tell you, they were amazing and the entire room smelled so sweet. I love working with Holly and the girls at Pear Tree, and can’t wait to do it again soon!
