I love working at Marion Magnolia! The grounds and landscaping are over-the-top lovely, the owners are wonderful, and the perks of being onsite include an independent bridal suite and grooms suite, a giant AirBnb home that can accommodate the whole family, and warm, golden chandelier lighting at every turn. The girls were getting ready in the lovely bridal suite. Alanna's details were perfect, with a unique bridal ring set designed by a jeweler in the family!...

ALL-IN-ONE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION VENUE The Red Brick Hall is new as of 2019, and so it is still gaining traction as a fun, simple and easy, all-inclusive wedding venue. With a getting-ready room on-site, several awesome portrait locations nearby, and the overall ambiance of clean white elegance meets vintage history vibe - I fell in love pretty fast! It was easy for Emily's team to get ready in the adorable bridal suite, while Lloyd's team took the more spacious loft above the main floor....

I have the bravest clients in the world! No gloves, no hats... wow! Don't worry, we were very near shelter thanks to my amazing brother (this is his backyard), so we snuck in for warmer air every ten minutes or so. ❤️
The session was on Sunday in Kildeer, IL, temperature -6 but we had sun!

Collaborative art is the BEST thing ever! We've been planning this styled shoot since mid-winter and let me tell you, it was worth every second of planning! Marion Magnolia Farms is a gorgeous backdrop, both inside and out, and we had stunning details provided by local vendors as well as the prettiest, sweetest model in the world!
