Caleb (he/they) + Leah (she/her) have known each other since they were born (yes really)

Their parents were home-school buddies and so they spent a ton of time together growing up, but it wasn’t until they went off to college that they became really close, and eventually, after 1.5 years of being roommates, they realized they wanted to be romantic roommates on a permanent basis 😉🥰

Their Hobbit-inspired wedding day was on a property overlooking the gorgeous Nachusa Grasslands that border Leah’s parent’s home in Franklin Grove, IL. The day was filled with beautiful DIY touches, soft color palettes, and smiles. It was one of the most gorgeous and joyful wedding days we’ve witnessed, and we’re so, so glad we got to celebrate with these two and their friends & families! ALSO, my goodness, isn’t that milkweed pod fluff sendoff for the recessional AMAZING?! 🤩

Enjoy the beautiful photos, and help us wish Leah + Caleb a BIG congratulations!!!
