Ashley and Cole - Manteno Illinois Summer Wedding

THE FIRST WEDDING OF THE SUMMER WAS SO MAGICAL!!! I was so excited to finally photograph my first wedding of the summer (hello, pandemic!) in Manteno, Illinois at Manteno Church of the Nazarene with Ashley and Cole.

Instead of having a full-fledged ceremony and reception as planned, Ashley and Cole gathered with their family and bridal party to still celebrate their amazing wedding day together - and it was BEAUTIFUL! Each moment of the day was so perfect, and Ashley and Cole were both calm and joyful the entire day.

My favorite moment of the ceremony was when their best man pretended to throw the ring out of his pocket - needless to say, we were all SHOCKED - especially Ashley (check the photos for details)!!! The whole day was full of laughs and memory-making moments that will last a lifetime.

Ashley and Cole, thank you so MUCH for trusting me with your wedding day, for remaining happy throughout the craziness of this pandemic, and I can’t wait to celebrate with you again later!!!

And special thanks to all the amazing vendors that made this day possible:
