There is no shortage of emotions you’ll feel from the magic of a wedding day. Everyone experiences these emotions in a way that is unique to them, and for Lexie and Harrison that meant a ton of happy tears being shed throughout the day. Their wedding at the Forest Hills Country Club in Rockford, Illinois was a beautiful showcase of human emotion and the amazing love these two share between them. Come with me as I go through some of the highlights that made this day one to remember.

The Beginning of Their Wedding Day

Lexie and Harrison spent the morning of their wedding day getting ready apart from one another. Lexie got ready with the help of her mother at the Embassy Suites in Rockford, while Harrison got ready at with his brothers in their mother’s condo. Documenting these two was an incredible experience, as they both had such different starts to their day, but both were so special to them individually. Once ready Lexie and Harrison chose to have a first look as part of their wedding day experience, which was absolutely perfect for them.

It was an emotion filled moment for them to enjoy together, and one of the major highlights from the day. Immediately after their first look was their private vow reading, which brought even more emotion to the forefront of their day. It was so special documenting these two and this time they had alone together, but now it was time for their wedding ceremony at the Forest Hills Country Club!

An Emotional Wedding Ceremony at the Forest Hills Country Club

The ceremony space at the Forest Hills Country Club is beautifully serene, with an abundance of natural light that sets the tone for each wedding ceremony. Joy filled the air as the room was occupied by the loved ones of Lexie and Harrison, each person beyond excited to see these two become newlyweds. As Lexie began walking down the aisle Harrison couldn’t help but tear up again. Even after seeing each other, and reading their vows to one another, he was completely overcome with emotion. The ceremony remained just as beautiful throughout, and before long Lexie and Harrison were officially newlyweds. Now it was time to celebrate!

A Night of Dancing Alongside Their Loved Ones

Decorating the beautiful reception space of the country club were photos from Lexie and Harrison’s engagement session that I had photographed. From their seating chart, to their table cards, and even their guest book, these photos were featured throughout the space showcasing the journey of their love story. The reception area of the Forest Hills Country Club acted as the perfect space for Lexie and Harrison’s wedding reception. The evening began with moving and hilarious speeches, a taste of the wedding cake, and some wonderful first dances. As the night progressed Lexie, Harrison, and their guests were able to fully let loose. They danced like no tomorrow, and the energy was absolutely infectious. It felt like the only time Lexie and Harrison left the dance floor was when the three of us snuck outside for some evening portraits. A beautiful end to an already magical wedding day.

Lexie and Harrison’s wedding at the Forest Hills Country Club was a true celebration of love and all the emotions that come with it.
