Shelby and Jeff are our wedding clients from last fall and they were so kind as to share their story with Corridor Wedding Guide. They were married at Oak Hill Weddings in Apple River, IL. It’s a fun location, complete with an old church, school and store. You can see images of Oak Hill here.

We started the day in Galena, where they had their “first look” and we photographed the wedding party. We did this because they were getting ready in Galena and they had limited time before the wedding at Oak Hill. Getting wedding party photographs done before we arrived to Oak Hill made  the schedule easier for family photographs and allowed Shelby and Jeff time to relax a little before the ceremony.

Real Wedding features are fun because you not only get a glimpse into a couple’s wedding day, but they also inspire you with your own wedding planning. Looking at the details of things like flowers or favors that real brides did for their special day is great of giving you ideas that you may not have thought of otherwise.

One such idea is the map of Oak Hill that Shelby and Jeff included on the candy bags that also doubled as the ceremony programs. This was one element that did triple duty in the most perfect way! And the beer “growlers” they have collected from their favorite breweries that they used has flower vases on the reception tables. That is such a fun way to share with their wedding guests one of their favorite things to do together as a couple, plus it really personalizes the reception.

We’re so excited that our wedding photography illustrates the details of Shelby and Jeff’s wedding, along with the story of their proposal and that they show the attention to wedding planning details throughout the wedding day.
