Shyam and Sarah celebrated the joy of their marriage with a reception at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library located in Springfield, Illinois. Preparing for the event at the Wyndham Hotel City Centre, also in downtown, they choose the site of the Old State Capitol Building for their first look and family pictures. The weather was perfect, providing a layer of clouds for naturally diffused light. The reception was a celebration of fun, joy, and family. Guests visited and took in the history and exhibits as they danced the night away. The couple closed out the night posing for one last photograph in front of the library as a light spring rain arrived.

Thank you so much Shyam & Sarah for asking me to celebrate with you! It was an honor in every way. - Laura
