The Gardens of Woodstock Wedding

Stephanie & David – Summer Wedding at The Gardens of Woodstock

I’ve got another stunning wedding for you guys today! Stephanie and David decided not to give up their wedding day despite the Covid pandemic. 

I know Stephanie since her sister Amanda’s  wedding at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms Rockton IL. 

Stephanie and David know each other for long time!Dave is Stephanie’s cousin best friend. Their first date was right after her cousin’s birthday, 3 years ago!!

Stephanie got ready at her parents home in Woodstock and I was so impressed seeing lots of our photos from Amanda’s wedding decorating the home. Hopefully, our photos from Stephanie will find their way on the walls, as well!

The couple insisted to have the wedding ceremony at the St. Mary Catholic church in Woodstock and reception at Beautiful Gardens of Woodstock. They decided to not see each other until Stephanie was walking down the aisle.












Their wedding day was truly wonderful. As Stephanie said: ” Our wedding was the most beautiful day and was full of love laughter and fun. It took everyone’s minds off of the pandemic. “

The bride’s dress was seriously gorgeous, too. And I’m not just saying that!
