Chris and Stefanie's wedding photos at Crystal Garden

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Chris and Stefanie’s wedding in Edwardsville, Illinois. You might recognize from their engagement photos I posted a few weeks ago. These are a few photos from their outdoor ceremony at Crystal Garden in the post. Come back later this week to see the portraits and reception!
