New Lenox Backyard Wedding of Braden and Ryan

I had such a wonderful time photographing the backyard wedding of Braden and Ryan. When Covid spoiled their plans of a big wedding in Michigan, they pivoted and still got married surrounded by their closest family. It was a beautiful ceremony and really reminded me of the reason why people get married, because they truly love each other. I can’t wait to photograph their vow renewal and reception next year in Michigan and what is even better is now I know their families. Take a look at their day here from their beautiful details to their crying ring bearer. The day was filled with memorable moments.

Ivy Room's Dining Room and Chef's Kitchen at Tree Studios Intimate Winter Wedding

     Megan and Scott wed surrounded by their families at the beautiful Ivy Room's Dining Room and Chef's Kitchen at Tree Studios. The snow was falling as everyone gathered and we braved the cold for some beautiful outdoor portraits. After photos outside, we head inside for the ceremony. As the kids walked up the aisle leading their parents to the hearth out of the corner of my eye I spied Megan's sister teaching Megan's parents the art of the selfie. 
    The ceremony was touching as Megan and Scott read letters affirming their love of their newly formed blended family. Megan and Scott could barely hold back the tears, nor could anyone else. It was a touching and sentimental ceremony.
   Immediately following, the wonderful staff at Tree Studios got to work switching the room over to dinner as the family enjoyed delicious Hors-d'oeuvre at the Chef's Kitchen which was attached. The tablescape was romantic with candlelight and the beautiful florals.
    Congratulations Scott and Megan again on your beautiful day!
