This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of capturing Lili & Pascal’s intimate wedding at the FAR Center in Bloomington, IN. The day started at the Scholars Inn Keep, with Pascal and his brothers getting ready together. Laughing and figuring out how to tie their ties. 

Lili, her bridesmaids, and her mom did their own makeup at the Hilton Garden Inn and fawned over Lili as she got in her dress. Then we all met in the FAR center’s beautiful Library for Lili & Pascal’s first look. Tears were shed by everyone.
