Stephanie + Lucas Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms Wedding | Rockton Illinois

Stephanie & Lucas had an August wedding at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms in Rockton, IL. Stephanie began her day getting ready at the Copperstone Inn then did a quick first look with her dad. I always love capturing this newer tradition. Every dad glows with pride seeing his baby girl in her wedding dress for the first time. It’s always so sweet. Another newer tradition many of my couples have been including is writing letters to one another. Stephanie & Lucas chose to read these letters to each other on either side of the fireplace at The Pavilion, so they could only hear but not see each other before the ceremony. This was another sweet & romantic moment. A beautiful ceremony was held outdoors before we celebrated and danced the night away.
