Chris & Monica’s wedding at Aurora Cellars was nothing short of perfection. The weather, their joy, the love from their friends and families..their sweet pup, Mack. It was seriously a wedding that I’ll remember for the rest of my days.

Cathedral veils, a win every time.

Monica did a first look with her bridesmaids and it was the sweetest thing!

The ceremony site at Aurora Cellars is simple and beautiful. This huge gorgeous Willow tree is the perfect backdrop.

Before the ceremony started, both families had a family blessing together. Seriously the sweetest thing!

After Chris and Monica walked down the aisle, their parents linked arms and everyone in the audience cheered for them. It was such a special moment.

Their sweet pup, Mack, was a part of the wedding celebrations (and I think he enjoyed all the attention…).

What a gorgeous bridal party.

Don’t you just love Mack? He was at their Chicago engagement session too!

Chris & Monica’s reception was under the tent with yard games and endless fun. They had the most perfect weather for a June wedding.

After dinner, before the sun goes down, I always sneak out with the bride and groom for a last set of photos. These are always my favorites. The stress of the day is gone and they can just be in love, as husband and wife.

Chris & Monica – thank you SO much for trusting me with your wedding images. I had such a wonderful day with you and your beautiful families. I hope you treasure these images more and more as each day passes!
