Kevin + Laura

KEVIN + LAURA ARE TWO OF THE SWEETEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH. It would be an understatement to say that I was beyond excited about photographing their wedding. From our very first meeting at Starbucks all the way through the planning and finally at the wedding day, these two have been incredible to work with. You probably remember their engagement photos in Galena, IL from last year… (bet you can’t guess where their wedding was?!)

For Laura’s sake, the only thing I was wishing for on her wedding day was sunshine. The forecast had nothing but rain scheduled ALL DAY and I KNEW that it would break Laura’s heart if her photos looked gloomy and sad. When I arrived at Oak Hill (absolutely LOVE this venue, by the way… I’m sure you’ll see why as you keep scrolling!) I immediately went to see Laura. Calming her rainy wedding day nerves was my number one priority, and without hesitation, she told me that she trusted me and that it would all be okay. I. Was. So. Happy. Rain has never stopped me in the past so I was on a mission to make Kevin + Laura’s wedding the most gorgeous rainy wedding that I could. Laura’s flowers, dress, decor, and venue were just too stunning to let the rain stop us from having a blast!

Oh, and their first look out on the pier was so heartfelt! I can’t wait for you to see it.

Kevin + Laura, congratulations again on your incredible wedding… thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to be a part of your most precious day. It means the world to me. I wish you both the most amazing of marriages + the happiest of ever afters.

Love, Sara
