This romantic wedding at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms was everything I dreamed of, and beyond. Kayla and Evan are the sweetest couple. The first time we met, for their engagement session at The Morton Arboretum, we knew that the wedding day will be fun and easy, and that we will be great together.
The day started with Kayla’s getting ready with her best friends. Kayla is so thoughtful, and she had medallions with photos of Evan’s grandparents as a present for her future husband. She wanted him to have his grandparents with him as he walks down the aisle (how sweet is that??!!).
If you know me, you know that I really love first looks. Kayla decided to do a first look with her dad (that get’s me every time!!), followed by a first look with Evan. These are some of my favorite photos, as they are in the moment, and so genuine. Moreover, they read their vows privately, just after their first look, and it was such a sweet moment.

They had such an amazing bridal party!! When Kayla told me that they want to have have a fun moment with their bridal party, I didn’t really know what to expect. They started singing “Baby got back” and dancing, and that probably  was one of the most fun moment for the whole bridal party!! I have to give it to them for making that moment unforgettable.
The ceremony was short and sweet, and the best part is that we were able to go outside for golden hour photos. Brides, the light is just perfect that time of the day, so make sure you make time for that on your wedding day!!!

On top of golden hour photos, we also went outside again for a champagne spray type photo. Evan did an amazing job popping and spraying and we had so much fun with it!! But when Kayla did it, boy, that was epic!!! Scroll all the way down to see it!!
