A Relaxed Wedding Day at Oak Hill Farm
This was my first time photographing a wedding at Oak Hill Farm in Apple River, Illinois, and it was such a beautiful experience. A venue surrounded by mature oak trees and thoughtfully manicured lawns, Oak Hill Farm offers a calming presence from the moment you arrive. It’s the perfect mix of rustic charm, vintage details, and a quiet sense of elegance helping create an ideal setting for couples planning an intentional wedding.
Why I Love Photographing Weddings at Oak Hill Farm
As you’ll see, Oak Hill offers a variety of beautiful indoor and outdoor options making it an incredibly flexible wedding venue—especially when planning around weather. Couples can choose from several ceremony locations depending on their tastes. A few of my favorites are: the peaceful pine tree grove, the charming white chapel, the woodland forest setting, and an open meadow. Each spot provides a distinct feel. Having thoughtful options allows couples to create a wedding day that feels both personal and intentional. When everyone is spending less time traveling between locations on a wedding day, people can relax and enjoy more time together.
For the Animal Lovers
As you scroll through this Oak Hill Farm wedding, keep an eye out for Earl and Jojo, the two donkeys who freely roam the property. They were a huge hit as they mingled with guests during cocktail hour.
