I can’t wait to tell you all about Dan and Brittany’s gorgeous July wedding!  I was so thrilled when they contacted me to shoot their wedding!!  Dan and Brittany picked non other than the BEAUTIFUL Wilder Mansion in Elmhurst, IL to host their ceremony and reception.

There are so many wonderful things about Wilder Mansion….including the bridal suite.  Erica also had fun shooting some of the getting ready details and portraits in some of the rooms upstairs.

These gorgeous flowers were arranged by my best friend’s mom who just so happened to do the flowers at MY wedding too!! 🙂

And that dress is an Alfred Angelo.  It’s the Rapunzel from the Disney princess line!!

One of the things I love the most about a First Look is that you get a very special intimate moment with just your groom before the wedding.  Now, Dan and Brittany did NOT see each other before the ceremony but they took a moment to pray together, each behind a wall so that they wouldn’t see each other.  It was so sweet!

Their ceremony took place outside at the gardens!  It was breathtaking!

I had to include this picture because it happen right before the ceremony….it rained…no…it POURED!!  A little part of me freaked out a bit, we hadn’t even taken any portraits so I had no clue what we were going to do!  The rain completely stopped after a few minutes and we were so thankful that everything just dried up!

Here’s Brittany getting herself back together after all that rain.

I’m such a moment junkie….love this!

These two had one of the most beautiful ceremonies.  They were actually pronounced as husband and wife before the ceremony ended so that one of the first things they could do together was worship the Lord and take communion!!!

I told you it was a gorgeous wedding!!

Many many blessings to you Dan + Brittany as you live out your new adventure!
