Two of the nicest people we’ve ever met right here – Spencer and Alisha. They are a couple that are truly present during conversations and our creative time with them. It’s obvious the apples do not fall far from the trees, as Spencer and Alisha have examples in their parents of how to be terrific human beings, treat people well, and enjoy what you have in life. We could tell by the authentic smiles and laughter shared with their guests during their receiving line, and at their reception that they are well liked by all. It was one of the coldest wedding days we’ve ever captured, but we didn’t hear an ounce of complaint from their wedding party while we were outside with them. They put personal comfort aside and were happy to be present for their two friends on their big day. We loved seeing their wedding party surprise them at the reception. The groomsmen dressed in inflatable cow outfits, as Alisha’s family are dairy farmers. The bridesmaids in “Safety Spence” construction gear – due to Spencer’s reputation of making responsible, level-headed decisions. That’s a rep every parent would love for their son/daughter to have! 😊
Alisha and Spencer got married in the quiet, laid-back, close-knit town of Bartelso, Illinois at the beautiful St. Cecelia Church. Their reception was hosted at the Germantown American Legion, Germantown, Illinois. In between, we swung by Hondo’s Sports Bar, a favorite hang-out spot for them and their friends. It was a fun day – full of laughs from preparing for the day in the morning, to getting sweaty on the reception dance floor in puffy cow outfits. Loved that we were able to be there to capture their wedding photography and videography and enjoy it alongside their family and friends. Presented below are our favorite photos captured throughout their wedding day as well as their feature film…
