Vibrant Spring Vintage and Nature Inspired St. Charles Styled Shoot

Pops of pink, pretty blooms, outdoor decor display — we are living for these spring vibes!! Which is exactly why we wanted to share this vibrant spring vintage and nature inspired St. Charles styled shoot. The beauty of Creek Bend Nature Center was the perfect setting to bring about this creative vision; adding vintage rentals, wooden elements such as table decor and signs, a mobile coffee bar, as well as the most delicious (and gorgeous!) display of cakes, cookies, and more. There’s a little something for everyone. If you’re ready for warmer weather and sunnier days, these photos by Expedition Joy are sure to bring a smile to your face!

Our amazing Chicagoland vendor team was inspired by the vibrance that comes with spring. The excitement the shed off winter blues and embrace the crisp air and bright colors that come with the season. Our rental company provided vintage themed glassware and furniture to create a rustic and vintage feel.

Our bakers added fresh strawberries and florals to the treats that everyone looks forward to in the warm months. Our coffee cart vendors brought a mobile coffee bar so we could stay caffeinated throughout the day. Our beautiful couple are married with 3 beautiful children. They were so comfortable being in love in front of the camera and the groom himself is a photographer.
