Abigail & Jacob were married on a beautiful summer afternoon at a hometown church outside Peoria, IL. Surrounded by loved ones, the day began with the bride and bridesmaid's hair and makeup in the hotel bridal suite, enjoying breakfast mimosas and a first look with the girls before the days activities. Dressed in dapper blue tuxes, the men gathered at the church and prepared a John Deere 4020 tractor for the couple's exit after the ceremony. Afterwards, the couple enjoyed pictures outdoors at the family farm before moving to the Riverfront Gateway building in Peoria, Illinois where they were warmly received by guests for evening celebrations. Dinner and dancing followed with the couple ending their night with one last night portrait overlooking the Peoria Riverfront.

Tastefully decorated, the day was the perfect mix of simple beauty paired with intimate moments surrounded by family and friends. From a ceremony performed by a brother, to doggie treats as wedding favors, the day was blessed with the faith, heritage, people (and dogs), that were important and helped color the couples lives with love and laughter.

Thank you for letting me join on such an amazing day! It was truly an honor.
