Betsy and Jack's midwest wedding was one to remember. A sunny May day, a historic library turned wedding venue, and two (plus a couple hundred) of the sweetest souls made it extra special.
Needless to say, I'll be dreaming of this venue forever.
After a very emotional and intimate first look they opted for private vows. This part of the day might be one of the reasons I love photographing weddings so much. The fact that I get to witness this kind of love firsthand makes me feel so so lucky.

Because they chose to do a first look, we were able to fit in almost all of the formal photos before the ceremony. We headed to a nearby golf course for family and bridal party photos and took advantage of the beautiful greenery, bridge, and wildflowers.
And now.. a moment..
for the bride and groom!!
(the absolute sweetest couple!!)

The most unique thing I've seen a wedding venue do to commemorate their couples... They have each couple donate a book that represents the couple to add to their own little library... What a fun way to keep the library aspect alive. ... and Betsy and Jack had the MOST perfect book for it... Literally obsessed.<3

The love in their eyes says it all.
And then... they were wed!!
The remaining family photos were taken in front of the beautiful old library.

Then the party got started!
Some of the sweetest speeches were given.
Fun fact: their DJ also DJ'd Betsy's sisters wedding AND her parents!

I was so blessed to capture this beautiful wedding and can't wait to see where the future takes them.
Cheers to the McKinney-Longs!
