Lakeview Weddings in Camp Point, IL was the perfect setting for Lauren & Cole’s winter wedding ceremony. They shared their vows and tied the knot with the perfect backdrop of the lake outside the windows and with all of their friends and family around them. We made it through the cold December weather to capture some great photos (Lilly Wilson), video of the bridal party, and some romantic shots of Cole & Lauren before heading to Dick Brothers Brewery for their reception. Which, by the way, was perfectly designed and decorated by Sara Reddick Events and her team.

Jacey and Ryan’s fall wedding was beautiful on the bluff above the vineyard at Pointe D’Vine! We absolutely loved their long center aisle with chairs turned in. It created a dramatic entrance for the wedding party and of course, Jacey! They danced the night away in the Hilltop venue and ended the night with a fun sparkler exit!

Lauren & Bryan’s private estate wedding was to die for! We spent the morning at Lauren’s family farm gathering some detail shots before the events kicked off. Lauren and Bryan shared a sweet first look at the farm before heading into town to get married at Quincy University’s chapel. Back at the estate, Sara Reddick Events had everything setup and ready for Lauren, Bryan and their guests to have the night of their lives.

What a day for Grace & Kyle at Lakeview Weddings in Camp Point, IL! Their day was elegant from start to finish and we were even to sneak in a dreamy session overlooking the river. We think Grace knocked it out of the park with her gift to Kyle, which was a custom-labeled bottle of Woodford Reserve bourbon. And Kyle’s emotions seeing his bride for the first time are enough to melt you!

We headed up to Fort Madison / Burlington, IA for Danielle and Avery’s summer wedding! We spent the morning with Danielle and Avery getting ready separately before coming together for a beautiful first look. The letters that Avery and Danielle wrote to each other were special and we’re happy they were willing to read them for the wedding film! Their reception was a PARTY in Burlington complete with a fireworks/sparkler grand entrance for the bridal party!

Alyssa and Jesse were married at Lakeview Weddings in Camp Point, IL. Their spring wedding was perfectly planned and was reflected their love for each other beautifully. Their pups even made an appearance!

Their bright and graceful wedding ceremony took place at Pear Tree Estate before the space was transformed into a warm and inviting reception space. They celebrated surrounded by candlelight and fireplaces as the sun could be seen setting outside all of the windows.

Their wedding day started with a light snow capping the mountains around the lake and ended with a beautiful sunset over the valley. Abby and Gabe privately exchanged their vows at the Truckee Marsh, had a gorgeous ceremony at Tahoe Beach Retreat, and then enjoyed a small reception at The Boathouse on the Pier. Once they returned to Quincy, they hosted a large reception for all of their friends and family at The Ambiance.

Their beautiful summer wedding took place at The Olive Branch in Palmyra, MO. Their intimate ceremony had them surrounded by friends and family (along with a couple of pretty cool ring bearers). After the ceremony, they stopped by Pub 3 one 4 in Canton, MO and enjoyed some drinks with their wedding party before heading to the Caldwell building for their party-filled reception.

GENUINE. That’s our pick for the word that best describes both Emily and Justin, and of course their relationship together. Emily is full of smiles, laughter, and joy. Justin is loyal, compassionate, and kind. Together, they make a fantastic team, and we are thrilled to have captured their wedding day.
