Larry + Michelle - Eagle Ridge Resort + Spa Wedding - Galena, IL

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Larry + Michelle last weekend as they celebrated their love with their friends and family and it was a true honor.  I was able to spend Friday night with them on a River Boat Cruise on the Mississippi River (photos to come later this week!) which was so fun, because I got to meet so many of their family and friends that had traveled far and wide for this special occasion!  It was a perfect night for a boat cruise, which led into a perfect day for a wedding on Saturday!

The sun was shining and, although a bit hot, it was a perfect day for a wedding.  Michelle + Larry did an impeccable job of planning their special day and there were beautiful details everywhere, from the flowers, to the wonderful gifts they gave to guests, everything was done beautifully.  Larry even went as far as to bring the bench that he proposed to Michelle on with him to Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa to surprise her while we were taking photos.  

Larry + Michelle, it was an honor to be a part of your wedding day and I can't thank you enough for welcoming me in to your celebration :) Hope you are enjoying your time together this week as newlyweds and that you enjoy this little sneak peek back into your wedding day!

Noah + Lisa - Eagle Ridge Resort + Spa Wedding, Galena, IL

Lisa + Noah's wedding day was extraordinary in every aspect.  I arrived at the house in the Galena Territory to a totally calm, cool and collected bride to be where I was welcomed with warm greetings and hugs like I was one of the family. Both Lisa + Noah's families were so kind and welcoming of me and it was so fun getting to know them.  

Lisa spent the morning relaxing with her family and close friends, enjoying the beautiful morning with anticipation building up to the moment she would get to see Noah. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and as Lisa slipped into her custom bridal gown we all knew Noah would be in awe during their first look because she was one stunner of a bride!

This day was not about two families coming together, as Lisa + Noah's families have been friends for years, long before they even started dating.  The day was about one big family coming together to celebrate two very special individuals who were officially starting their forever together and the excitement was evident in all those who were in attendance. 

Lisa + Noah said "I do" in a  beautiful outdoor ceremony overlooking Lake Galena.  The reception was decorated beautifully and they had a fabulous band that kept the dance floor packed from the moment they started playing!

Lisa + Noah, it was so fun getting to know you both and I hope you enjoy this peek back into your wedding day!
