Reese & Nick | Normal Illinois Wedding | Central Illinois

Bride and groom portraits by Bloomington Illinois Wedding Photographer Rachael Schirano

Reese is an avid reader with a passion for summer, and Nick is a sports enthusiast. The two met at a baseball game they attended with a mutual friend. Who knew that their little bit of flirting that night was the beginning of the rest of their lives?

Fast forward through hours of Netflix marathons, walks with the dogs, a couple of half marathons, and fun times exploring new cities, and Reese and Nick knew they wanted to spend their lives together. Their travels eventually led them to one memorable 4th of July vacation, where the two adventurers got engaged at the Seattle Space Needle. Eager to begin their forever story, they quickly began to plan their special day.

From the intimate ceremony to mid-day backyard drinks to the relaxed reception at Crestwicke Country Club, Reese and Nick’s summer wedding was picture perfect with the weather to match. It was a day full of love and laughter, as family and friends (and dogs!) joined together to celebrate the happy couple.

One of the most unique aspects of the day characterized the couple’s personality and animal-loving nature. With special permission from the priest, their dogs Barley and Wren were allowed to participate in the ceremony as ring bearer and flower girl. The ring bearer even dressed the part, looking classy in his black suit and bow tie.  The dogs were a big hit, and Reese and Nick were so excited to include them in the festivities.

Of course, the fun didn’t end that day. Following a reception that was complete with a beautiful first dance, delicious cake, and gorgeous decorations, the couple jetted off to Jamaica to enjoy their first days as husband and wife soaking up the sun in the tropics.

Here’s to wishing Reese and Nick a lifetime of laughter and adventures!
