Where to begin? It was ALL soo terrific!! Lexie & Nate had the MOST wonderful wedding in the most charming location in Illinois, called the Allerton Mansion & Retreat. It was out of a fairy tale and when I pulled up, I was almost giddy, READY to start shooting! Lexie & Nate are the most terrific, warm, kind, fun people….as are their families! It was just a terrific day, in every possible way!! The night concluded with the coolest band I have seen in a long time, The Brat Pack, an ALL 80’s BAND!! They come complete with costumes, blow up instruments and the whole nine yards! SOO fun!! Lexie & her friends even dressed up in 80’s prom dresses for dancing! Are you KIDDING…SOOOO MUCH FUN!!! Lexie & Nate….and Hillard & Beccue Families…you are truly wonderful and I sincerely appreciate your kindness!! It was a FANTASTIC wedding and I hope you love the images!!

  4. Jessica, I stalk your blog! To my surprise this morning, I see you were practically in my back yard shooting a wedding this weekend! If I would have known you were going to be shooting on the U of I’s quad this weekend, you would have had me there as your audience watching you work! Great pics!

  6. What a fun gig! The prom dresses are cracking me up. The guys should’ve worn powder blue tuxes with ruffles – not that I would know anything about that. 😉 Great work!

  9. I live about an hour from here. I LOVE ALLERTON PARK. I sure hope you went further down and saw the large amplitheater/sunken field. If not, you truly missed out!! Can’t wait to shoot another wedding there.
