Allen & Kelsey | Crossroads UMC Wedding | Five Points Washington Wedding Reception | Washington IL Wedding

July 7, 2016

Allen & Kelsey were married just a few short weeks ago with a gorgeous wedding at Crossroads UMC in Washington followed by a super fun and beautiful wedding reception at one of my favorite venues, Five Points Washington.  I would love to redo this wedding over and over again because it was incredibly fun to capture!   Allen and Kelsey and their two families were so sweet and being part of their amazing wedding day was such an honor.

My team and I loved so many moments of their wedding day.. from every little thoughtful detail including the gorgeous florals, tablesscapes, and draping from Create-A-Scene to the laughter, happy tears, crazy dancing and rapping at the reception; it was very apparent that relationships, family, and friends were the most important thing to this couple and will help build a strong foundation for Allen and Kelsey as they start their new life together.  Enjoy some of my favorite images from their day.. congratulations Allen & Kelsey, the best is yet to come!

If I had to predict, I see more really cute kids added to the family in the near future 🙂  Just saying’!

Kelsey and Allen are loaded with the cutest nieces and nephews who were part of the wedding party. Her flower girl was AUH-dorable and full of personality

I’m pretty sure that Allen is one of the SWEETEST grooms ever… so of course, his note was ultra sweet and Kelsey was a hot mess for a few minutes while reading his note and opening his gift.

This heart was sewn into Kelsey’s dress.. It was part of her grandfather’s handkerchief.
