July Wedding at President Lincoln's Cottage

President Lincoln’s Cottage makes for the perfect backdrop to this fun and elegant summer wedding. The cottage offers gorgeous spaces for getting ready and the sprawling lawn and massive magnolia tree is the perfect spot for an outdoor ceremony.

Steeped in history and flowing with gorgeous gardens, President Lincoln’s Cottage is both a beautiful destination for a wedding and exciting spot for your guests to explore!

I have been so lucky to know this couple over the years and see them at various milestones. Katie and James, I love you guys so much and can’t wait to be there for the next “big day”! Thank you for bringing me on board for your gorgeous wedding day at Lincoln’s Cottage.
