Styled Shoot at Pleasant Ridge Church - Southern Illinois Wedding Photography

Jodi Duncan and I have been wanting to do a styled shoot down at this little church forever!  We finally got the opportunity thanks to Mayesh Wholesale Florist.  This little church hasn't been abandoned but is no longer in use.  No electricity, no restrooms...it's the perfect example of a rustic location.  Jodi transformed this little spot into a beautiful venue with her gorgeous Ombre designs and little bit of fabric inspiration from The Great Gatsby.

It's amazing how fresh flowers and a couple of cool chandeliers can transform a location!

Thanks so much to our models Caroline and Dylan!  They were amazing and worked so awesome together!

mucho gracias to:

Kim at Larry's House Of Cakes for providing the cake.

Jodi Duncan for the ideas, muscle, genius, I could just go on and on....

and my buddy Dennis, the caretaker,  for letting us take over the church for 3 days :)))
