Daniel & Makenzie // Illinois Backyard Wedding Photos

September 17, 2019

This was the first backyard wedding that I’ve gotten to capture and let me tell you, it was PERFECT! Between these beautiful humans, that gorgeous flower crown, and my deep love for golden hour I could not help but share some of my favorites from their bridal portraits.

I’ve known Makenzie since high school! So when I was asked to photograph her wedding you know I couldn’t wait to say yes! These two tied the knot at Makenzie’s parents house in Shiloh, Illinois in early August. Everything was so sweet and intimate. She and Daniel couldn’t be more perfect for each other, and it was so special watching them soak up these moments together. There were tears, laughs, and even a Mission Taco truck!

Daniel & Makenzie – I wish you both the very best on this new adventure. I am so dang excited for you!

xoxo
