super chill rock island lake club wedding | samantha & kevin

it was no surprise to me that samantha and kevin’s super chill rock island lake club wedding was sooo super chill. i’ve photographed many weddings at the rock island lake club and everyone one of them has been with a super chill, super laid-back couple. although i didn’t get a chance to meet sam and kevin until their wedding day, i could tell by our chat on the phone that they were going to have a fantastic wedding… and i was right. and to top it all off, we had picture perfect weather for their lakeside wedding!
