I absolutely adore Aliesha and Nick and their entire fairytale of a wedding day 🙂 I first met these two a couple of years back when I photographed their anniversary photos. Shortly after that session, Nick proposed, and I was so excited when I heard from Aliesha right away!! 🙂 I’ve loved watching their relationship grow and getting to photograph it all!
We began their wedding day with the girls getting ready at Harrah Hotel in Joliet which was super close to their venue and portrait location (the best)! For Aliesha and Nick’s first look, we headed a few minutes down the road to University of St. Francis which was so stunning for portraits!
Alllllll the fun-aka their ceremony and reception-took place at Jacob Henry Mansion, and this wedding venue is to die for!! It gave off so many princess vibes, and I was in love with everything about it. Their wedding photos are going to be shared for the rest of my career, for sure (insert all the heart eyes)!!
