Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding

When Emily and Nathan first reached out to us about their wedding, we knew that we wanted to be part of their special day. We love nature and outdoor photography; so the fact that Emily and Nathan were getting married in Starved Rock was very exciting. Starved Rock is about 1.5 hours outside of Chicago. If you’ve never been, it’s a must see place filled with some beautiful Midwest nature. In the fall, the colors are unreal. So when you are ready to explore Starved Rock, we recommend making the drive in the fall with the rustic colors and fresh cool air.

The Preparation

Emily and Nathan put a lot of effort into their wedding detail decor. From the custom engraved wooden ring box to all of the ceremony details, everything tied in magically. Emily and Nathan are a young and loving couple that are surrounded by the most adoring family and friends.

Emily was such a beautiful bride. She has luscious red hair and perfectly sun kissed freckles. She chose to go with a vintage cream wedding dress that complimented her complexion perfectly. Emily actually has a twin sister that did her makeup on the day of the wedding. She was also one of the bridesmaids, talk about having very special people in your life.

Nathan’s best man was actually his youngest brother. This may have been the youngest best man in the history of WASIO weddings as he was only 12 years old! They have such an incredible bond between one another.  04-chicagi-utica-getting-ready-photography-wedding-day Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 05-chicago-groom-getting-ready-photography Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 06-chicago-utica-bride-wedding-portrait Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 07-chicago-bride-portrait-wedding-red-head-veil-dress Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 08-chicago-bride-veil-makeup-red-head-lace-dress Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan

An Epic First Look

Emily and Nathan decided to have a first look on the day of their wedding. That was a very emotional moment (even for us)!

Adventurous Portraits

We had the opportunity to capture some more stunning photographs of Emily and Nathan after their ceremony. Emily came super well prepared with her hiking shoes. We were all unstoppable that day. We feel so lucky to have had such an adventurous couple that let our creativity flow how we wanted too. It was also a great workout for all of us though the couple are such experienced hikers that this was effortless for them.  21-chicago-wedding-bride-groom-starved-rock-canyon Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 22-chicago-wedding-couple-bride-groom-utica-starved-rock Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 23-chicago-couple-wedding-day-session-starved-rock Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 24-chicago-wedding-photography-couple-portrait-day Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 25-chicago-bride-groom-black-and-white-photography Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 26-chicago-wedding-photography-portrait-classy-outdoor Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan 27-chicago-wedding-photography-day-session-fall-utica Starved Rock Ottawa Utica Wedding - Emily & Nathan
