Kelly & Derek

What a gorgeous wedding! Kelly had emailed me earlier in the week saying they might have to change the location due to heavy flooding in the kickapoo valley. I was so happy when she told me they were still able to have it at the nature reserve! It was such a gorgeous space and I can tell why Derek & Kelly wanted their wedding to be held here.

These two are the definition of a happy couple. From their reaction to seeing each other for the first time to the way they were so natural and comfortable in front of the camera, you can see just how in love they are. These two found each other on Tinder and on their first date realized just how perfect they were for each other. Loved how they incorporated Norwegian details into their wedding day since they both are of Norwegian descent. Plus, after the wedding day they flew off to Norway on their honeymoon! (jealous!)

After a week of rain & what was supposed to be a rainy day. The weather cleared and we got the most amazing sunset! Loved how every part of their day just fell into place so perfectly after a week of not knowing how things would go! SO PERFECT!
