Last month, we flew out to Illinois for the wedding of Callista and Peter. The entire trip was a great time, from exploring St. Louis Gateway arch and eating all of the great food to hanging out with Callista and Peter on their memorable wedding day. The wedding took place at Pere Marquette Lodge, a quaint venue in Grafton, Illinois. It was a marriage of two cultures, Peter’s Jewish culture and Callista’s Taiwanese culture. The combination created beautiful and unique moments for us to capture. Thank you both for allowing us to be a part of your big day; and we hope you enjoy your images. Special thanks to Max Young for his help on this set.

Meanwhile, our bride was having some laughs over with her friends and family in the bridal room of the Pere Marquette Lodge

Our beautiful bride escorted by her parents, walking down the aisle of Pere Marquette Lodge.

The ceremony was full of emotion, as they said their vows.

Our couple shared their first kiss under the chuppah.

After the ceremony, we explored the surrounding area around the Pere Marquette Lodge and took advantage of the beautiful fall leaves of Grafton, Illinois.
