A Summer Wedding at Cantigny: Kristen & Landon

Wedding

 

Sneak peek on a Friday? Not Wednesday?

I know! We actually had TWO weddings this past weekend. 🤯 I feel like we’re been running at full speed since then, but Kristen & Landon’s sneak peeks is ready to go and I couldn’t be more excited about how everything turned out. 🥰

Kristen & Landon got married this past Saturday at Cantigny Park and their day couldn’t have been more perfect! From sweet shots with the Bridesmaids in the morning, romantic veil photos and a stunning sparkler exit. Each part of the day was thoughtfully planned and beautiful. 🙂

If I had to narrow it down though, here are the Top 5 Moments/Things from Kristen & Landon’s wedding…

 

#5. The couples first look. Not just because it was a special (highly anticipated) moment between the two of them, but also because these two teachers (Past & present.) did their first look in the… wait for it… education garden! Just fun. 😀

#4. Being at Cantigny! Fun Fact: I actually grew up working on the golf side. It’s a place I’m really familiar with and love getting to shoot at. I always have fun with it. Each wedding we try to find a new spot or put a new twist on a favorite location.

One of the best parts of Kristen & Landon’s wedding was that we had the time to try a couple new spots! Definitely a highlight for me and I’m obsessed with the look of these new locations! Thanks for being game to explore and sharing your vision with me Kristen & Landon. 🙂

#3. Romantic veil photos and a stunning sparkler exit! You’ll have to scroll to check it out. 😉

#2. The LIVE BAND! Wow. I love when couples have live music at their reception and the Bluewater Kings Band was next level! Incredible music, packed dance floor AND the couple actually rocked out with the band for a while! Landon on the electric guitar and Kristen on vocals. 🙌

#1. When Kristen walked down the aisle. I share this with couples all the time, but even with a first look before your ceremony, there is nothing like seeing your Bride walk down the aisle. I think you’ll see what I mean. 😉
