Liz Overstreet & Kris Montgomery were married 18 September 2010 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Springfield, Illinois. Their reception was at The Inn at 835, also in Springfield.
Here’s some favorite images and moments from their day!
Liz's "something blue" was her shoes. She wore her grandmother's pearls. And her garter was made of lace, just like her dress. Liz & Kris opted to see each other and do portraits before the ceremony so that they had time to do outdoor portraits between the ceremony and reception. They first saw each other all dressed up in the garden of the church.Liz & Kris enjoy a moment in the church's garden before going inside for portraits before the ceremony.Liz chose an incredible cathedral-length veil.Her veil was embroidered with her new monogram.Westminster Presbyterian has more strict rules for photographers than most churches we work with. Because we can't be anywhere near the altar during the ceremony, we asked if we could set up a remote camera in the bell choir area to the side of the alter. Steve and I respect that the ceremony is a worship service. We always speak with the officiant prior to the ceremony to find out what their restrictions are - and we abide by them. The day is not about us or the photos!The bridal party went downtown Springfield between the wedding and reception for outdoor shots. We couldn't resist this "Marilyn Monroe" moment. Thanks, Liz!The groom works in engineering - and his grooms cake was an homage to that!Half of the gift table at the reception was in honor of the couples' parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. There were some fantastic & moving photos.The buffet table was decorated with different sized vases with floating candles. It gave the whole room a very romantic feeling.As the night wound down, it seemed Liz and Kris were the only ones in the room. We took this photo with the help of lights from Matt Stevens' DJ booth.
