Alyssa and Derek were married on a beautiful spring afternoon at The Pear Tree Estate in Champaign, Illinois. Surrounded by family and friends, the day began at the cottage known as the Concord where the Bride and her tribe prepared for the day. Since they enjoyed a first look, the Bride and Groom were able to capture the majority of pictures before the ceremony and relax while enjoying the ceremony and day's activities. Taking a few short wedding photographs after the ceremony under the dogwood tree, the bridal party arrived to a beautiful introduction and lively party surrounded by family and friends inside the ground's ballroom. Dinner and dancing followed with the couple posing for one last portrait of a kiss before slipping into the night and their next adventure of husband and wife.
