Kayla and Ryan’s summertime St. James Farm wedding this past Friday in Winfield, Illinois was a total fairytale from beginning to end! Their friends and family gathered from across the country to celebrate Kayla and Ryan becoming husband and wife. It was an absolutely beautiful day for these two, and it was such a joy to be at beautiful St. James Farm on one of the prettiest days of the year for this lovely wedding!

From their first look under a gorgeous old maple tree to their beautiful tented reception designed by Kayla herself… Every detail of this wedding day was sweet and stunning and thoughtfully curated. Kayla and Ryan are a truly wonderful couple. I loved hearing their family and friends talk about how their relationship has changed both of them for the better, and how perfect these two are for each other! It has been such a joy to get to know these two this past year and I am so grateful to call them friends.

The Pin Oak Alley at St. James Farm offered the perfect setting for Kayla and Ryan’s wedding ceremony. If I had to choose a favorite moment of the day, it would have to be their vows! These two wrote the most heartfelt wedding vows to each other, and it was pure joy to watch as they were finally married! The twinkly lights and airy greenery at their tented reception provided the perfect setting for a beautiful celebration, and everyone danced the night away. Absolute perfection!

Kayla and Ryan, congratulations on your beautiful marriage! We wish you all the very best as you begin this new chapter in your life together! I’m so grateful I was able to capture your lovely, intimate, picture-perfect wedding day, and I hope these photos are cherished for decades and decades!
