Appleberg Elopement

---

Julia and Michael are the kind of couple whose love radiates in every glance, laugh, and quiet moment in between. Their elopement at The Starline Factory in Harvard, Illinois, felt like a true reflection of who they are—warm, down-to-earth, and deeply in love. From the cozy, ethereal ceremony to their first golden hour walk after, which glowed with natural light, every part of their day felt intentional and full of joy.

Photographing their wedding was such an honor. They were completely present with each other and soaked in every second. As an Illinois elopement photographer, I find it’s couples like Julia and Michael who make this job so meaningful.

If you're planning a wedding here or anywhere in the world and want those real, heartfelt moments captured forever, I’d love to connect.
