You gotta luv these fall days at Allerton Park, so calming, it relaxes pretty much anyone who goes there. I’m very excited to be working with Kari and Ray and their families next summer. Kari is the younger sister of one of our past clients from 2009, so that makes this wedding all the more…

[...] I can’t even begin to describe the incredible people that we were surrounded by this last weekend at Ray and Kari’s wedding. One thing is for sure, Ray and Kari have some of the best family and friends anybody could ask for! I already knew that Kari’s family was going to be fantastic because that’s all Mark has been talking about lately! He photographed Kari’s older sisters wedding two years ago (Krista + Jake ). Ray’s family is just as kind and fabulous! We started at Kari’s parents beautiful home in Effingham where we photographed all the little details that pieced the day together. There were a lot of unique details such as Kari’s mother’s engagement ring worn on Kari’s right hand. Also, the bows on Kari’s shoes were the bows her mother wore at her own wedding. Kari has such a beautiful smile, she was glowing all day long! The house was a perfect place to do all the family photos as well so we knocked those out and then headed to the beautiful St. Anthony of Padua Church for the ceremony. After Ray and Kari exchanged their vows we did some fun wedding party photos and went to the Thelma Keller convention center for the reception. Ray and Kari, we are so happy we got to share your special day with you and wish you many years of happiness! See their engagement photos here. [...]
