Morgan and Spencer celebrated their union with an autumn wedding in the lovely backyard of Spencer’s folks’ property in Mahomet. The property is situated just outside of town, complete with a gorgeous pond and fountain to set the romantic tone for the day. I had the honor of getting a preview of the property earlier […]

Nikki & Rob, with the company of their closest friends and family, were married in the beautiful Botanical Gardens at Lake of the Woods in Mahomet, Illinois. As with any outdoor spring wedding, the chance of rain is always a possibility, and boy did they get lucky! On my way into Mahomet, the sprinkles were […]

There is […]

You may recognize Kaitlyn and Josh from my social media and around on the website. They have been with the LSP family for a while now and it all started when Josh proposed to Kaitlyn in my photo booth a few years ago! I was at the Urbana Country Club for a Masquerade themed fundraiser […]

I first met Taylor and Cameron in 2020 when they entered to win an engagement session. I am so glad they won! Taylor’s sweet, soft spoken personality and the way Cameron loves her so fiercely is the cutest. Unfortunately, I was already booked on their wedding day. We ended up really hitting it off, so […]

The wedding ceremony of Kelsea and Christian was nothing less than dreamy. It was personal and intimate and just as much about the people they were with as it was about them. When I first arrived, I was welcomed into the bridal suite by Kelsea, her girls, her momma, her sister, and her aunt. It […]
