No. We have hired a professional photographer for the hours of the ceremony and early reception. We ask that no one take photos until after the photographer leaves so that we can keep a distraction-free environment and enjoy this moment together.

Some may opt to drive from New York to Illinois, others may fly by plane for about $400/person round trip. If you are local to Illinois, we recommend driving as there is a large parking lot. Please keep in mind that hotel and travel are at the expense of the guests.

Please refrain from bringing guests unless your invitation states that you may bring a plus one. No children are permitted unless stated otherwise on your invitation. We would like to keep our small, personal wedding adult only.
