Annie and August's Konarcik Park Wedding | Southern Illinois Wedding Photographer

Konarcik Park in Waterloo, IL is one of my favorite local spots to photograph in. The groups of pine trees create a stunning backdrop that works for any season. And, those trees are exactly what Annie fell in love with as she and August planned their outdoor wedding. When you combine that perfect setting with their thoughtful details and favorite people…it was one heck of a wedding day!

Always, always, always love when couples incorporate heirlooms into their details.

When we arrived at the park, Annie and August shared a first look. These quiet moments are always such an honor to witness.
