Michaela & Alex Pembrook (9.25.21)

Ceremony & Venue: Walnut Hall Estate in Carrollton, Illinois

Nothing short of a dream! That's how I would describe Michaela and Alex's wedding day at Walnut Hall Estate in Carrollton, Illinois! After meeting and photographing their engagement photos over the summer, I instantly "fell in love with these two!" They are both so laid back, thoughtful, and the way they each look at one another is playful yet, meaningful at the same time. I caught many of these looks from Michaela and Alex on their big day and it just added another level of delight as they said "I Do" to a lifetime of marriage! When I say their wedding day was perfect, I mean all aspects of it really were! The late September weather was warm, but with a cool breeze it was amazing. Walnut Hall Estate is a brand new venue and it was seriously gorgeous! It was my first time shooting there and Michaela and Alex, being the first couple to officially book them as a wedding venue, hyped it up a ton, and there was zero disappointment! This historic property with a three story brick farmhouse made the perfect backdrop for getting ready photos as well as bridal party photos outside. And the new modern white barn reception hall was beautiful and ready to host the large gathering of Michaela and Alex's family and friends, who had come to see these two tie the knot. I definitely hope to be back there soon! Congrats to The Pembrooks!
