Delaney and Corey’s wedding day at Kemper Lakes Golf Club is here! This was an incredible wedding day that I will remember forever.

I met this couple a few years ago after photographing Delaney’s older brother Johnny’s wedding day. After photographing Erin and Johnny’s wedding day and truly feeling welcomed into their family, I hoped someday I’d get to work with the family again. I was honored when Delaney reached out as she started planning her wedding day! It was truly a full-circle moment and made my heart deeply happy. This family is AMAZING, and I have so much love for all of them.

Last November, we met in Chicago to take Delaney and Corey’s engagement photos. It was a chilly day, but these two rocked their engagement session! Our time together on that chilly Chicago day made me even more excited for their Kemper Lakes Golf Club wedding day this year.

From the Couple

Corey and I met officially on Bumble (we both went to U of I and knew of each other). We knew pretty quickly that the other was the one and I even met his parents on our third date. We love going on walks together, spending time with our families, traveling, getting ice cream, going to concerts in Chicago, self care, and so many more things!

Favorite Part of the Planning Process

Favorite part was reflecting on our love story and making decisions that reflect us and how we imagine our special day.

Advice for Engaged Couples

Plan in advance as much as possible. Also – take a deep breath. There have been so many times I have been overwhelmed but just remember that it is your special day and try not to put too much pressure on yourselves to make it “perfect.”

Wedding Day

This wedding day was a DREAM! Our day started at the hotel where Delaney and the girls were getting ready. Meanwhile, the guys were hanging out with Corey at his brother’s house. It was such a relaxed morning before heading off to the church! I especially loved photographing the sweet moments Delaney shared with her parents and siblings.

Delaney and Corey shared a beautiful Catholic mass wedding ceremony surrounded by their family and friends. Before the wedding, Delaney told me just how excited she was to get to see Corey for the first time on their wedding day while walking down the aisle. My heart!

The church was gorgeous and the people were incredibly welcoming. You could feel so much love in the room for this couple. I loved seeing Erin and Johnny’s little one with her parents and how his adorable personality showed throughout the ceremony, too. It was another full-circle moment (the last time I saw him was at his newborn session!) that made my heart happy. This family loves big, and I loved seeing everyone together!

After they made things official, it was time to celebrate with photos, drinks, and dancing! We traveled to their venue, Kemper Lakes Golf Club, for more fun. Delaney and Corey are members of this golf club, so it holds a special place in their hearts. I loved exploring the grounds and taking photos of Delaney, Corey, and their wedding party. It was such a warm, sunny September day. We were grateful!

Before we made our way into the reception, we loved sneaking away for a few sunset photos with Delaney and Corey. Corey told us about a bridge he wanted to take photos at and took us on a golf cart adventure to get there. Thankfully, when we got there, we LOVED it! I’ll always remember those sweet moments with the newlyweds. Their smiles, tender embrace, and love for one another were truly evident.

This wedding day at Kemper Lakes Golf Club was one that I will remember forever! Delaney and Corey’s wedding day was about the two of them becoming one but at the same time so much about their family and friends who they love dearly. Getting to look around the room and see the people who have been part of your life for years is an incredible feeling. And I’m certain loved ones were smiling down on this wedding day from heaven.

Delaney & Corey – I loved being a part of your wedding day! Thank you for trusting me to photograph these memories in your family’s legacy. I have so much love for you both and your families and pray that you have a beautiful, blessed marriage!
