Jen + Jeff | Champaign Country Club wedding | Champaign, Illinois

HB3_0820.jpg

We had such a wonderful day on Saturday!! Jen + Jeff make a great pair, and even though their wedding day was the first time I had officially met them (outside of a couple of Skype meetings!), I could tell that they complement each other so well. Jen is originally from Champaign, but the couple now lives near the east coast so they weren't too specific choosing places to go for photos, and left it mostly up to me. We started out in downtown Champaign near the Orpheum and around Main St. Even though it was the middle of the day, we were able to find some good shady spots and cranked out a bunch of amazingness in major humidity -- their wedding party members were troopers! The one request Jen did have was to get a few shots with a cornfield, and with the help of our Elite Limos driver, we found the perfect spot! Then it was back to the Champaign Country Club to cool off a bit, do a few family photos, and get ready for the outdoor ceremony. The ceremony was situated on golf course under a couple of nice shade trees. I particularly loved the rose ceremony they did, where each family member came up and added a color-coded rose to a bouquet. Such a neat idea! Following a delicious and neatly presented cocktail hour, we got ready for the dinner reception in the main ballroom, featured live music from The Shenanigans who put on an awesome show! I did sneak Jen + Jeff outside just after sunset again for a couple more portraits, and I'm so happy we did! Congrats, Jen + Jeff, on your new marriage and I wish you both the best!

Leave a comment below for Jen + Jeff and after 50 comments, they'll receive a complimentary 11x14" mounted print of their choice. :)
