Makray Memorial Golf Club outdoor ceremony| Jill and Doug, Barrington Illinois Wedding

Jill and Doug have know each other since they were children. It’s obvious they have a huge amount of comfort and chemistry when they are together and there’s hardly a serious or dull moment when they are around. The reception and the ceremony took place at Makray Memorial Golf Club in Barrington.

They decided to see each other before the ceremony, which is a huge bonus when it comes to photo time.

I tried to do something unique and serious….and I knew that wasn’t going to last 😉

But that lead into one of my favorite portraits of the day, I love this!!!

Going outside for more photos.

FAVORITE!!!!! I love those perfect fluffy clouds + blue sky + happy couple = perfection!!!!

Happy-happy-joy-joy!!

Lovely bridal party, check out the little rock star in the back row.

Jill’s 101 year old Grandma was one of the VIPs.

One of the great parts of this wedding was the couples personality really shone though in the details. Grandma wore a button that Jill made for her it says…’I’m 101 years old and I stayed alive all this time to watch my only granddaughter get married’

Ceremony time!

No one else but these two could make a minister double over in laughter during the vows.

“Hi, nice to meet you…what are you doing for the rest of your life? Wanna hang out? OK!”

Even in B&W the clouds were breathtaking!

They had African drummers at the end of the ceremony and they stayed for part of the reception. So unique 🙂

Instead of table numbers, they had lolly-pops, their photo matched the photo at the table, such a cute idea!

Jill and Doug were dressed in different props and costumes for all the photos…the guests were blown away. Brides to be remember, it’s your wedding do what makes you happy, be unique and have fun!
