Brandi and Forrest’s wedding at Emerson Creek Pottery & Tearoom was a truly special celebration. As a talented makeup artist and owner of Bridal Brigade, Brandi has worked with many photographers. So, when she reached out 14 months ago to book her wedding date based on my availability, I felt incredibly honored.
A Beautiful and Intimate Celebration
The morning started with a bit of rain, but by the time the ceremony began, the weather cleared, creating the perfect setting for their outdoor wedding. The day felt relaxed and intimate—just like Brandi and Forrest. Their love and joy were reflected in every moment, making it a dream to photograph.
A Venue Full of Charm
Emerson Creek Pottery & Tearoom in Oswego, Illinois, provided a stunning rustic backdrop for their wedding. Surrounded by lush fields and charming barn-style details, the venue perfectly matched their warm and inviting celebration. Guests enjoyed a heartfelt ceremony followed by a lively reception filled with laughter, dancing, and beautiful memories.
Congratulations, Brandi & Forrest!
It was an absolute pleasure capturing your love story. Thank you for trusting me with your wedding day, and I can’t wait to work alongside you again at future weddings. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!
