Emily & Jagger | The Warehouse 200, Jacksonville, IL White & Greenery Summer Wedding Photographer

Capturing Emily and Jagger’s wedding day was so much fun! These two are surrounded by so much family and close friends, their entire day was full of love! Emily was absolutely stunning and her and Jagger chose the perfect venue to host a beautiful celebration of their love for each other. The Warehouse in Jacksonville had so many unique and beautiful spaces. Emily and Jagger worked so hard to plan out every single detail of their day and everything turned out amazing!

Emily and her girls got ready all morning at the Warehouse. The getting ready space is a photographer’s dream and it did not disappoint. After hair and make-up, Emily’s mom helped her step into her simple but gorgeous wedding gown and put on all of her final details. She was surrounded by all of her amazing bridesmaids as they helped her to complete her look and then get up to the rooftop to see Jagger for the first time. Jagger told me he was an emotional guy and that he would definitely cry when he saw Emily as his bride, he did not lie. They shared the most special first look and embraced several times as they took in such a special moment. We grabbed a few portraits afterwards before heading back down to meet their bridal party. We took a short drive out to Jagger’s grandparents’ beautiful home and farm for some fun photos! It was so special to Emily and Jagger to have the farm to use as a backdrop. Even though the rain was not in the forecast, a few sprinkles tried to ruin the end of portrait time, but Emily and Jagger wouldn’t let it, I always love a good opportunity to bust out the clear umbrellas! They say rain on your wedding day is lucky so I am sure this was just a small sign!

After photos, we headed back to The Warehouse to get Emily and Jagger officially married! Emily’s sweet brothers walked her down the aisle to a very emotional Jagger and gave her away. Their ceremony was short and sweet but so emotional and beautiful. They exchanged rings and vows, sealed a box with letters and their favorite drinks to read when times are tougher, and finally shared their first kiss as Mr. and Mrs. Bergschneider!

Emily and Jagger started their reception off with everyone grabbing a shot before grabbing their seats and they were announced in before sharing their first dance as husband and wife. These two wanted to celebrate by serving food from one of their favorite local restaurant, Leo’s Pizza (seriously so yummy)! Emily’s mom, maid of honor and Jagger’s best men, also his brothers gave beautiful speeches to kick off the evening and then their guests enjoyed dancing and celebrating all night! We ended the day with some rooftop pictures of Emily and Jagger where the golden light snuck it’s way through a little bit despite a day of clouds. It was such a perfect and quiet moment for Emily and Jagger to take in their first night of marriage and just enjoy being with each other. I loved being a part of this sweet couple’s beautiful day and I am so excited to share more pictures!
