Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano Wedding Photos | Alisa + Alec | Bloomington, Illinois Wedding Photographer

Bloomington-Normal Illinois Wedding Photographer-

Alisa and Alec’s Bloomington, IL wedding day was one for the books! These two are absolutely precious, and I just LOVE them. I first met Alisa and Alec at their engagement session last fall (click HERE to see their gorgeous session!) in Bloomington, IL which ended up being super close to where their wedding took place.

I began the morning hanging out with Alisa and her girls getting ready at Alec’s parents house in Bloomington. I know Alisa’s cousins as well, so it was SO fun getting spend the morning with them all! While I was with the girls, my second shooter, Amanda, was with Alec and his guys as they were getting ready at the Holiday Inn in Bloomington!

We then headed to McGraw Park for the sweetest first look between Alisa + Alec and then portraits with their awesome wedding party! McGraw Park was an AMAZING location, and it quickly became my favorite wedding photo location in Bloomington-Normal. Their ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano! This gorgeous venue just opened and Alisa + Alec’s wedding was the very first wedding they hosted-it couldn’t have been more perfect! I’m already dying to photograph another wedding at this gorgeous venue!!

Alisa + Alec, thank you SO much for choosing me to photograph your perfect day. I couldn’t be more thankful for you two! <3
