Jacqueline & Patrick’s Marriott Normal IL wedding day was a stunning one. Their first look, at Bloomington Country Club, was filled with laughter and smiles and though there was quite a chill in the air, the backdrop for the moment they first saw each other on their wedding day was a beautiful one…complete with sunshine, blue skies and wispy clouds.

They were married in Bloomington, Illinois at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, the grand space flooded in soft afternoon light filtered through the gorgeous stained glass windows.  Right before she walked down the aisle to meet Patrick at the altar, Jacqueline’s and her father shared their own first look. When he saw her for the first time, her dad scooped her up in his arms for the biggest bear hug and buried his face to hide the tears. It is definitely one of the most tender moments I have seen.

They followed the ceremony with cocktails, dinner and dancing along to the music of a live band. Jacqueline and her father took dance lessons to prepare for their special dance and it did not disappoint.  Each detail of Jacqueline & Patrick’s Marriott Normal IL wedding day was touched with beautiful elegance and each moment they shared with family and friends was just bursting with the myriad of emotion that encompasses a wedding day.
