Tina + Joon | Holiday wedding at Hilton Champaign

Tina + Joon planned their wedding for the day after Christmas, which worked out great, except for all the RAIN Champaign got that day and the next two! We didn't have too many options for photos, but we used as much of the Hilton property as we could to maximize their wedding collection. We started out the day with a few detail photos in the room where their ceremony and lunch reception were held. The couple chose a pink and ivory theme with a touch of gold that carried well through their decorations and flowers. After that, we had an hour and a half or so of portrait time with the couple and their friends, followed by some pictures in the hotel room of their jewelry and watch gifts. Then it was time for the ceremony, which incorporated some American wedding traditions as well as Korean and Taiwanese traditions from their home countries. The food and cake were delicious and I enjoyed meeting some of Joon + Tina's friends while we ate! Leave a comment below for Tina + Joon, and after 50 comments, they'll receive a complimentary 11x14" mounted print of their choice!
