Katie & Brad’s Pretty White Pines Wedding

Nov 18

Katie and Brad met through friends in college when they were both undergrads at Illinois State University. After dating for 8 years Katie and Brad bought a house together, and then he proposed in Hawaii! They are great at making each other laugh and are really so perfect together!

We first met Katie at our favorite tiki bar Kahala Koa, Katie’s family owns this local gem and she has been our server after Saturday night weddings when we want a great drink and a chance to unwind! Conrad was excited to have the opportunity to photograph Katie’s wedding to Brad; he and Lindsay and Ryan had the best time celebrating with their family and friends at White Pines Golf Club.

Katie looked gorgeous in her dress (with convertible sleeves!) from Volle’s, while Brad looked handsome in his wedding tux (we LOVE a groom in a white jacket!!) After their emotional first look Katie and Brad shared private vows with one another, it was really sweet for them to have this quiet moment together before joining with their large wedding party! After their ceremony Katie and Brad shared a cute moment in the aisle as husband and wife, and then the celebration really began! Katie surprised Brad with a Bears-themed groom’s cake before they took to the dance floor and danced the night away. It was such a perfect day celebrating two people who are perfect for each other!
