Brooke and Adam’s Winter Wedding

Here comes the bride, all dressed in white! Brooke and Adam’s winter wedding at the Calvary United Methodist Church in Normal, IL was one for the books. After having the opportunity to shoot this sweet couple’s engagement photos, I was incredibly excited to capture their big day. From their “I do’s” to their loving glances in those quiet, in-between moments, it was a beautiful day to be sure!

Brooke and Adam’s love story began in court. Brooke first met her handsome Adam when he represented a client of hers. Brooke fully admits to making sure to dress extra cute when she knew he was going to be in court. Not that this stunner needed any help in looking pretty! Although they didn’t get together at that time, it set the foundation.

A few years later they matched on Match.com. Apparently, fate had some ideas in store for these two!

Brooke and Adam fell in love quickly. With so much in common, including their sense of humor and love of the outdoors, how could they not? Their personalities fit together like pieces of a puzzle, and they wouldn’t change a thing about their journey. Everything fell right into place at the right time for these lovebirds.

Next up…a picture-perfect winter wedding!

On February 9, 2019, Brooke and Adam tied the knot. The winter wedding radiated with a romantic elegance. Navy, burgundy, and gold accents only added to the enchanting atmosphere. Sweet, unique touches – such as the groom’s mother making the flower girl’s dress – also gave the ceremony a personal feel. It was a blessing to watch their friends and family celebrate as this beautiful couple committed their lives to each other! The fun reception at the Bloomington Country Club was the icing on the cake for this happy day.

Brooke and Adam took off to Cabo for an entire two weeks to get a little sun after their winter wedding. As they take the next step in their journey, both are excited to travel the world and start a family together. Cheers to the Bowtons and to many more years to come!
