Sandra + Kyle | St. Patrick's Catholic Church + Colonnades Club at Memorial Stadium wedding | Champaign

HB3_1909.jpg

This was such a happy wedding! Sandra + Kyle appeared to be pretty much stress-free all day long -- Sandra looked radiant and Kyle literally smiled the entire day (outside of a few happy tears!). Their wedding party was up for anything, and the bride and groom were happy to let me implement a bunch of ideas I had for their locations, including the "Brenizer method" panorama you see below of the entire west side of Memorial Stadium. It was also my first wedding at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Urbana, which was recently renovated and is gorgeous! One of the cutest things I thought that Sandra + Kyle wanted to do was to stand on the state of Illinois in the middle of Zuppke field and show where they both grew up and then together on Champaign where they went to school and now live. I always have fun when the bridal party gets to play football on the field -- something not a lot of people get to do! We finished up their portraits in the columns outside the Colonnades Club both before dinner and again at sunset. What a way to end such a perfect day! Congrats again to Sandra + Kyle!! Leave a comment below for Sandra + Kyle and after 50 comments, they'll receive a complimentary 11x14" mounted print of their choice. :)
