Acquaviva Winery Midwest Summer Wedding, Maple Park, IL

Jessica & Nick are some of the most relaxed people you’ll ever meet. Every time we met to plan their wedding they had a vision of what they wanted, but were so willing to let the day unfold how it may, and enjoy the process along the way! Their whole day from start to finish was gorgeous! Between the vibrant rows of green trees, and the stunning pillars of the reception hall, every spot at Acquaviva Winery in Maple Park has a beautiful backdrop for a beautiful bride and her groom!

The girls got ready at the pool house, with mimosas, chicken nuggets and french fries! They were constantly laughing and enjoying getting ready in their robes. We had beautiful weather that made all the group photos so easy! When it came to their first look, Nick was cool as a cucumber (but he did tell me he was a teeny bit nervous). Jessica’s long train dragged behind her as she walked, and the mesh backing was drop-dead gorgeous on her. Their outdoor ceremony was short and simple out in the vineyard, with barrels and a floral arbor setting the scene.

When it came to their reception, the speeches were heartfelt, with some humor sprinkled in. The food was TO DIE FOR (and I eat a lot of wedding food). After dinner they had the best dance party with the groom donning a cowboy hat to end the night! Congratulations Mr & Mrs Leibundguth!!! <3
