With storms surrounding the day but never dropping a single sprinkle, it felt like everything came together exactly as it was meant to. Set against the beautiful backdrop of The Hesed House, their celebration felt timeless and full of so much joy. Kate’s vision of soft blues and crisp whites brought such a classic, elegant feel to every detail.
What I’ll remember most are their smiles… they rarely left their faces all day long and made it so clear how excited they were to finally become husband and wife. Such a beautiful beginning for the Krafts!
Kate and Cooper’s spring wedding day was truly unforgettable!

Over the last 15 years of documenting my couples on the best day of their lives, I’ve met so many amazing people who quickly turned into friends. I hope that can be our story, too.
On the rare occasion that I’m not capturing a special moment, you can catch me spending my time with an incredible man who makes me laugh until I cry. I also tend to believe that a house is not a home until paw prints paint the floors. And admittedly, I cry at most movies, especially the romantic ones. Editing days consist of Dr. Pepper and take-out, while days off require country drives and visiting local wineries to listen to live music and take in a golden sunset. Hands down, it’s one of the best parts about Central Illinois.

Hey, I’m Kate!
