Blair-Williams Wedding | Springfield, IL

It was a beautiful sunny day on a Sunday afternoon when family and friends arrived in Farmersdale, IL to witness Jennifer and Chris vowing to love each other forever more. I took Chris & Jen's engagement pictures in June this year and I was really looking forward to taking their wedding pictures.

Jennifer is such a sweet young woman, and she looked absolutely stunning on her wedding day. The beautiful beading and cut of her dress really emphasized her tiny little waist. And the purple-pink lilies just seemed perfect for this end of summer beginning of fall wedding.

There were so many little details to their wedding that made it extra special. One of these details is this beautiful ring Jennifer wore that belonged to Chris's grandmother.

Chris looked so handsome. He was significantly more prone to smiles than he was during the engagement session...I think someone was excited to see his wife. :)

Jen & Chris decided to do a First Look, which I was thrilled about and will be writing a post about tomorrow. It was so cute how excited and nervous both Chris & Jen were to see each other for the first time on Sunday.

 There was an awesome breeze on Sunday that was just so refreshing. It caught Jen's veil making for an absolutely stunning picture.

 Finally the moment they were waiting for! Chris was grinning from ear to ear and Jen couldn't stop smiling. It was a sweet little moment for the two of them.

You couldn't help but see how happy Jen's mom was for her and Chris! There was just so much love pouring out from everyone present on their special day. It is apparently that Chris and Jen are very much loved not only by their family but by their friends, coworkers, and bosses.

This little guy was such a good little ring bearer and so very handsome and polite too! If I could have taken him home....I definitely would have. :)

Jen's brother Mike walked her down the aisle. He was so proud to be able to give his sister away and he did such a great job!

We couldn't use flash during the ceremony or move from our seats, but I think I managed to get some pretty cute pictures of Chris & Jen saying their vows.

Chris & Jen gave their moms flowers during the ceremony. The embrace Jen and her mom shared was so sweet, sincere, and heartfelt.

 And then they were pronounced man & wife. Chris & Jen walked to their get-away car (Chris's truck) through a frenzy of bubbles.

 Now for a picture of the rings. Chris's boss actually had an awesome little LED light that I used for this shot. I love the detailed etching in Jen's ring and the diagonal cuts in Chris's and you get a peek at their wedding colors: watermelon & black.

 When they danced to Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" it was like the rest of the room melted away and it was just the two of them reveling in their happiness.

Chris & Jennifer, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special day! You two are a wonderful couple and I wish you all the happiness in the world!
