Covid-19 Summer Intimate Garden Wedding | Luthy Botanical Garden, Peoria IL

Lauren reached out to me after her and her fiance had to rearrange their wedding due to the pandemic. Not letting Covid rain on their parade, they went ahead and tied the knot before lockdown in their local courthouse! Lauren talked about her vision of having an intimate gathering with their closest friends and family later that summer, and as someone that is passionate about documenting special moments, I was so excited to be there! We found a beautiful botanical garden (Luthy Botanical Center) in Peoria for a first look and portraits, and then hopped in a slick black convertible to head to a house party! The simplicity of the day was truly inspiring. I loved every second of it!
