A Woodland Wedding at Kilbuck Creek Estates in Monroe Center, Illinois
Mr. & Mrs. LoPresti have arrived
The way both Kylie & Brendon’s parents laughed & cried the entire day made your heart swell. I’ll never forget Mrs. LoPresti’s reaction to having a moment with Kylie before her first look with Brendon - “My beautiful girl” & the tears were flowing before they even hugged.
It resonated so deeply with me the way both of their families and friends loved either of their partners. If you didn’t know them, you’d think they’d all been family for a lifetime. It’s moments like that and the carrying of that love throughout their day that recenter you on the entire meaning of a wedding day.
The light, the love, the joy, the warmth - across all wavelengths, relations, and so much more. Cheers to the next trip around the sun as husband & wife.
This was my first time at Kilbuck Creek - and it did not disappoint. I would photograph weddings here every weekend to work with their team. If you’re looking for an all inclusive venue (I’m talking on site cabins/stay for your guests/family/party, weekend rentals, amazing on site coordinator, and an all around family owned atmosphere) this is it.
