Elegance, style, and fun are the words to describe this weddings. Julia and I could tell when we first met Rachel and Nathan that this weddings was going to be special. Rachel has been dreaming of this day for a long time. I think all the hard work that they did to make this wedding special and unique, will be one to remember. It's not often that you go to a wedding with cotton candy at the reception.  However, when the Heart of Illinois Fair was the location of the couples first date, it becomes the perfect theme for a wedding celebration.  The festivities took place at the Country Club of Peoria, with the skillful work of Beth Maxwell and her team draping the event in navy & pinks, complete with Bob Monier's beautiful flower arrangements cascading from the ceiling. It truly was a beautiful celebration and we were honored to photograph it.

Here is Nathan + Rachel love • inspired sneak peek.
