There were so many wonderful moments at Nicole and Luke's March wedding at Faith United Reform Church in Beecher, Illinois - from the exciting first look of the bride and groom to the flower girl being escorted down the aisle in a red wagon courtesy of the ring bearer. So much to show..
Our morning started with myself documenting the girls getting ready while second photographer Kerrie was with the guys. The first thing I noticed was Nicole's wonderfully long veil and beautiful dress. Make Up by Krissy V. made sure everyone was looking their best. After details I photographed all of the laughter going on and soon we would be arriving at church for the reveal and pictures.

The sun was bright on this fairly balmy March day and it was pouring into the church as Nicole entered the sanctuary and Luke waited. Myself and Kerrie had our cameras ready as Chicago Wedding Films captured the action on video.

We began taking bride and groom and wedding party pictures inside the church and then onto family photos before guests' arrived for the ceremony. Of course I was going to show off Nicole's spectacular veil...

The church was full of family and friends as a red wagon carried the flower girl and minutes later Nicole entered with her Dad.

When we arrived at Halls of St. George for the reception, I was not surprised to see greenery as part of the decor seeing as Nicole's family runs Woldhuis Farms Sunrise Greenhouse. The donut cake was colorful (and smelled great) and we even caught some munching on the dance floor going on.
