From Michelle of Untamed Heart PhotographyKeely and Michael have been together since their freshmen year in high school. They are two of the most amazing people I have ever met.  Before the ceremony, we met up for portraits in the quaint little towns of Elsa and Grafton, Illinois. They were both the perfect backdrop for the wedding party. It just so happened that the Nina and the Santa Maria were docked at the reception venue when we got there, and they were kind enough to let us aboard for some photographs. How many people can say they did that on their wedding day? All of the bridesmaid dresses were custom made in complimentary fabrics and colors. Flowers were purchased wholesale at Baisch and Skinner with the exception of the bouquets, which were designed by a local florist.

    Hi,

    My daughter is a flower girl this summer, and I would love to know where you found the one for your flower girl. Beautiful!

    Hi, Meredith!

    I think you might be talking about the dress--if it's something else let me know and I can answer that question : ) I had a really hard time finding a flower girl dress that I loved, so I chose my favorite elements from about 4 dresses and we had our amazing seamstress make it for us. I love how it turned out, but I owe a lot of the beauty to my gorgeous little cousin, our flower girl!
