camp-themed outdoor wedding on the lake

This camp-themed outdoor wedding on the lake is a goody!! 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.

picture perfect may wedding at monte bello estate

One of our favorite things about planning weddings is getting to know all of the amazing couples and their families. So we’re always sad when it’s over and we don’t get to see them anymore.
