Tina + Julie | Pear Tree Estate wedding | Champaign
WOW! Tina + Julie's wedding day was amazing in so many ways. It started out with all the ladies getting ready up in the Concorde Room at Pear Tree Estate, where Tina was trying to relax with some wine while she got her hair and makeup done. She looked radiant! Then it was time to go upstairs to check out Julie's custom-made, built-from-scratch suit that fit her and her personality perfectly. We love the colorful lining she chose for it! Tina + Julie chose not to see each other before the ceremony, and Tina walked in first with her daughters because -- in her words -- she wanted Julie to walk in to her new family. How sweet!! The ceremony was heartfelt and tearful and took place surrounded by their family and friends in a semi-circle underneath a gorgeous greenery wreath/chandelier by Flowers by Kristine. Following the ceremony, we moved outside to do portraits with the wedding party, families and the couple. These two were so easygoing, relaxed and above all -- easy to pose! Emily + I were in heaven with the light, the weather (SO nice for early November!), and the way they took our direction and fell easily into our poses. There were also a ton of goofy moments, and I died laughing every time Julie gave me "the eyebrow." LOL! Tina also does this adorable nose scrunch thing that makes for super cute pictures. I know they had so much fun their entire wedding day, and I wish them nothing but the best together. I hope they love these photos as much as I do! Leave a comment below for Tina + Julie, and after 50 comments they'll receive an 11x14" mounted print of their choice. Thanks!
