Sara – Peoria, IL – Trash the Dress

My blogging is a bit behind! I still have two sessions from Illinois to blog! Sara (and Kati) have been patiently waiting for this blog, its a long time coming!

Sara is an amazing wedding coordinator out of Peoria Illinois! She also happens to be my sorority sister and friend!  She married her college sweetheart a few years ago but wanted to get back in the dress for some awesome post-wedding shots!

This is one of the first shots I took and also one of my top 3 favorites!  The girl is a natural!

And she was willing to do anything!  Sit on this dirty nasty stained couch we found?  Okay!

One thing Peoria is known for?  Caterpillar Headquarters (there’s some fun trivia for you!)

Her Fab assistant Kati was there the whole shoot and even made this veil for her!  Love it!
