Sweet Blush & Sage Summer Wedding, Nick & Laine, Champaign IL

This was a wedding I had been looking forward to since the day Nick proposed. Laine has always been a big fan of my work but I was over the moon when she messaged me asking for dates that I was available. They were in the process of planning their wedding and wanted to make sure whatever date they chose that I could be there! I mean, how flattering is that?! From the day we met downtown to chat over details to our hugs goodbye at the reception, every experience with Nick and Laine has been perfect. While working on this wedding blog, I came to the realization of why it was so perfect.

The reason is the relationship between Nick and Laine. Having been best friends for several years prior to dating, Nick and Laine have an undeniable comfort with each other. Nick is a little bit more of a shy guy from the outside and Laine is more outgoing. However, you can tell when they get together they both come to the same personality level. They make jokes, laugh and still act like the best friends they’ve been all along. What’s different now is the spark that’s been added to their friendship. The way they lock eyes with each other or kiss because they just can’t help themselves.

As mentioned, I was crazy excited for this day from the time they met with me. The second reasoning for this was that Nick and Laine are both from my hometown. With that being said, many (well most!) of the guests were friends of mine! Not only were the guests people I knew, the bridal party was full of friends and actually future Ebby L brides/grooms. Two of my couples getting married this year were in the bridal party which made for 3 Ebby L couples!!

I could go on and on about this day, this couple and the love that surrounded them. However, I think the happiness shows even better through images. Nick and Laine, you two are amazing. Thank you for being who you are.
