April was referred to me by an old high school friend, Lori, who I reconnected with on Facebook. When April contacted me for her Starved Rock Wedding in October, I have to say I was pretty excited! Last year was my first time visiting this beautiful State Park with my friends & family, if you’ve never been there you really should!
April & Tony had 2 ceremonies, a very intimate one near one of the canyons and another outdoor one near the Starved Rock Lodge, where they had their reception. The hike to the canyon was pretty adventurous for me, but all so worth it! After that ceremony we had a quick portrait session around the park. It was such a beautiful day, sunny and in the 70’s, not your standard October weather. Once we were done there, we headed back to the lodge where April had a little surprise for Tony, a formal wedding dress. The look on his face when she walked down the aisle: priceless.
Congratulations April & Tony, it was an absolute honor to document your wedding day!
