Despite taking place in Illinois, I felt a taste of the West thanks to the naturey atmosphere of the gorgeous grounds of Timbercreek Bed & Breakfast and all of the cowboy boots!  Carrie grew up not too far from my midwest hometown and went to college with me in Illinois, but her husband is from Wyoming, where they met and now live.  I was asked to second shoot their wedding with Chuck Liu Photography, and it was such a pleasure to do...
