Vale Church Wedding Photos in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois | Kaiti + Josh

Kaiti and Josh had the most perfect December wedding day (insert alllll the heart eyes)! When Kaiti first contacted me last winter, I was so excited! Her and Josh had just gotten engaged the day prior, and these two were so excited to plan their wedding day 🙂 I got to finally meet them at their engagement session at Illinois State University, which you can view HERE!

On their wedding day, we started the day getting ready at the Hyatt in Normal, right down the street from the exact spot Josh proposed the year prior! After getting ready with the prettiest details and the most organized morning, we headed down to Uptown Circle for Kaiti and Josh’s first look. They shared the sweetest first look, and then we began portraits around Uptown Normal. Before the ceremony, for sunset, we headed to Kickapoo Nursery for all the prettiest portraits! This location was the perfect place for winter wedding photos!!

I’ve been LOVING photographing beautiful wedding days in the Bloomington-Normal area this year, and I can’t wait for more Central Illinois wedding days this year! 🙂 Enjoy some of my favorites from Kaiti and Josh’s day! XO!
