When it comes to celebrating true love, there’s no better way to do it than with a wedding that encapsulates personal touches, breathtaking surroundings, and a celebration of nature’s beauty. Jordan + Mark hosted their family and friends at Lawrence University, right on the lake, where they brought their dream outdoor DIY wedding to life.

a vintage glam backyard wedding bash

A vintage glam backyard wedding bash you say? Well, if you know anything about us at this point you know we’re moving mountains to make this happen. Victoria + Sam’s original event was stymied because of Covid, but they took it all in stride and literally moved the whole thing from what was to be a museum wedding to this beautiful slice of Illinois just a few months before the big day. Luckily, we were here to help make that happen.

So, the world changed a little bit last year, but that didn’t stop Amber + Chris from having a blast at their intimate pandemic wedding!
