Photographing a wedding at the Patrick Haley Mansion in Joliet is fantastic. There are numerous picturesque settings at one convenient location, and we had lots of sunshine for Melissa and James’s beautiful May wedding.

The wedding party had a great time getting ready upstairs in the beautifully appointed dressing rooms of the Patrick Haley Mansion. The bridesmaids’ deep red dresses were perfect for a sunny day. Melissa and James looked regal. Their outdoor ceremony was held under the pergola, and officiated by Rev. Jim Rehnberg, who also officiated the wedding of Melissa’s parents!

After a superb sit down dinner, no one missed the incredible dessert bar. Everyone celebrated and partied and had a great time dancing to the music of Music by Design. Melissa and James, it was truly a pleasure photographing such a warm and friendly couple, your families and wedding party. We wish you the best in your new life together.
