Emily and Aaron MARRIED - Peoria IL Wedding Photographer

Emily and Aaron are college sweethearts and oh so adorable.  You may remember their engagement session in which they brought lots of balloons.  Emily LOVES the movie "UP" and really wanted to include that theme in their engagement session and wedding.  The funny thing was that it was incredibly windy during their session, so trying to use balloons was indeed a challenging yet hilarious task.  Fast forward to their wedding day.  I woke up that morning and looked out my hotel window to rain....and even though the forecast called for bands of wind and rain thanks to the leftovers of a hurricane, I knew Aaron and Emily could handle it.  They are rockstars!  And you better believe we brought out the balloons again!  No wind, rain, or hurricane was going to get in our way!   Such a fun couple :)
