Delaney & Nathan | Panther Creek Country Club Springfield, IL Navy & Copper Spring Wedding Photographer

Delaney and Nathan’s wedding day was absolutely gorgeous. These two are high school sweethearts and honestly the perfect match. It is so apparent how loved and supported they are by so many people and their wedding day was a true testimony to that. Their vision of a classic wedding day with touches of copper and navy was absolutely gorgeous. We had beautiful weather at Panther Creek Country Club as Delaney and Nathan shared an adorable first look, both nervous but eager to see each other! We spent time taking photos of them along with their bridal party and they just really soaked in the entire day.

Nathan and Delaney both shared a first looks with Nathan’s mom, Carol, a beautiful woman who rallied so hard through her fight with brain cancer to watch her son and new daughter-in-law get married. Carol is no longer with us, which makes these moments for them all the more special. Delaney also shared a first look with her dad who tried hard to fight back tears as well.

Delaney’s proud dad walked her down the aisle to Nathan and gave her away along with her sweet mom. A good friend of Delaney’s family helped them tie the knot in an intimate ceremony. There were some tears, but a good amount of laughs as Delaney and Nathan shared personal vows with each other. They exchanged rings and finally shared their first kiss as Mr. and Mrs. Olejniczak!

After an amazing cocktail hour, Delaney and Nathan were announced for the second time as husband and wife and they kicked off a beautiful celebration! They cut their cake, shared their first dance and thoughtful but hilarious speeches were given in their honor. Delaney and her father shared a dance and then Nathan took a seat with his mother to share a dance with her as well. The rest of the evening was filled with so much dancing and celebrating, I don’t think Delaney and Nathan ever left the dance floor! We ended the day with some golden hour photos on Panther Creek’s gorgeous landscape. There were so many beautiful moments throughout Delaney and Nathan’s day and I was so thankful to be there to capture them all! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Olejniczak, I could not be happier for you both to spend your lives together!
