Kylie + Aaron’s Summer Wedding in Champaign, Illinois
Kylie and Aaron’s wedding day was the perfect blend of timeless tradition and modern elegance. From an emotional ceremony at their family church to a stylish reception at the stunning new Hotel Royer in Urbana, every part of the day reflected their love story beautifully. With thoughtful details, incredible photo locations (including the iconic Urbana Free Library), and a celebration that kept guests smiling all night long, their summer wedding in Champaign, IL was one to remember.
Perks of a Reception at Hotel Royer
One of the biggest perks of hosting a wedding reception at a hotel is the ease it brings to the entire day. Kylie and her bridesmaids were able to relax and get ready in one of the hotel’s beautiful rooms, which made the morning feel calm and seamless. Guests also loved having the option of booking a discounted room block, which meant no stressing about travel after the reception — just a quick elevator ride back to their rooms. It’s those little conveniences that make the day feel smooth for everyone.
A Timeless Ceremony at the Family Church
For their ceremony, Kylie and Aaron chose Meadowbrook Community Church, a place that held deep meaning for their families. The traditional church setting was the perfect backdrop for such a timeless couple, and it created a beautiful balance with their more modern reception. Saying their vows in a meaningful space, surrounded by their closest loved ones, set the tone for the rest of their elegant day.
Stunning Photo Ops Nearby
Before heading into their reception, we took time for portraits at the Urbana Free Library, located just across from Hotel Royer. Between the grand architecture, charming details, and the romantic balcony shots (including Kylie’s veil cascading so beautifully), it was an unforgettable backdrop for photos. It added a touch of storybook elegance to their gallery.
Celebrating at Hotel Royer
The celebration continued at the brand-new Hotel Royer in Urbana, and it could not have been a more stunning choice. This Hilton property has such unique architecture and design — everywhere you turn feels like a photo opportunity. Between the gorgeous modern interiors and the striking details throughout the space, it perfectly matched Kylie and Aaron’s romantic, elegant style. It’s safe to say their wedding looked straight out of a magazine, and the photos captured here will be treasured forever.
