Katelyn went to the same high school as I did (GO CARDINALS!) , so it's always nice to work with a fellow Stillman Valley alum. And heck, she went to school with my brother and still hired me! Now that's trust.  (Just kidding Mom).

Katelyn & Lance were married at Kilbuck Creek in Monroe Center, IL. And as fantastic as the venue already is Katelyn and Lance really made it their own.  They incorporated the great outdoors into the reception by using it as the reception space - using the canopy of trees intertwined with string lights for a gorgeous party under the lush greenery and night skies.  They also brought the indoors to the great outdoors with the addition of some vintage reclaimed stained glass windows as a backdrop to the pergola on the lawn.

It was a gorgeous day full of laughs, hugs, tears, and Illini. Congrats Katelyn & Lance. Here's a look back:
