LeaAnn and Travis’ wedding day at The Weingarten in Belleville, Illinois, was nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, every detail was filled with heart, laughter, and love.

During the getting-ready moments, we captured all of LeaAnn’s beautiful details, except for one priceless surprise. Her mom presented her with a stunning pair of white sapphire earrings. The moment they shared was pure emotion as they both tried to hold back tears (makeup, after all!), but the joy in their eyes said everything.

When it came time for the ceremony, Travis couldn’t stop smiling as he watched his gorgeous bride walk toward him. LeaAnn looked absolutely radiant. One of the most touching parts of their ceremony was that Travis' sister and LeaAnn's brother officiated together, a truly beautiful way to unite their two families.

After the “I do’s,” we gathered everyone for a big family photo and then dove into some fun with the wedding party. Once it was just LeaAnn and Travis, the magic really happened. Let’s just say there was a lot of laughter, cheering, and a few “whoops” from behind the camera because these two were breathtaking together, and I just can't help myself.

From there, we hopped over to a local bar for a few quick celebration shots with their friends and wedding party before heading to Smithton, Illinois, where the reception was ready to roll.

And what a party it was! The band Freefall kept the dance floor packed all night long with everything from classic hits, some Elvis, "Thank you very much," (say it like Elvis), to a little polka fun. LeaAnn surprised her mom with a heartfelt speech that had everyone tearing up again, and later on, she rocked a super cute outfit change that was just perfect for dancing the night away.

LeaAnn and Travis’ day was filled with love, laughter, and so many beautiful memories. We were absolutely thrilled to be a part of it and wish these two nothing but the very best and an incredibly blessed marriage.


Thank you, LeaAnn and Travis, for letting us share in your amazing day! ❤️
