Hello, world! How is it the end of August already? This summer has been a complete whirlwind… in a good way.

In June I had the opportunity to capture Megan and Kyle’s Crete, Illinois wedding ceremony. These two were legally wed last 4th of July, and their big celebration finally happened in June! And guess what? Yours, truly was right there to photograph it.

The intimate ceremony took place on the terrace at Lincolnshire Country Club in Crete, IL. The day was hot, too! Kudos to the entire bridal party for making it through the day. We had a lot of fun together – and believe me, that bridal party can, well – PARTY.

When I first spoke with Megan about her wedding, the one thing she had her heart set on was a photo on top of her favorite hill at nearby Plum Creek Nature Preserve. To my future brides: I’ll let you in on a little secret. Say the words “Nature Preserve” and I’m hooked! Or, in this case: “Nature Preserve” and “I have a long flowy dress and veil and want to stand at the top of a giant hill with my new husband.” It couldn’t have been more perfect! I am so glad I got to steal these two away for some alone time with nature and each other (and the camera!). As for the bride and groom? They sure seemed to enjoy themselves, too…

I’ve included some of my favorites from their day. Congrats again, Megan and Kyle!!
