Courthouse weddings are all about love and simplicity. They focus on what matters most: the couple and their commitment to each other. At Light by Zoey Photography, I’ve had the joy of photographing these beautiful, intimate ceremonies at the Champaign County Courthouse. Each wedding is unique and filled with moments of love and joy.

Why Pick a Courthouse Wedding?

Courthouse weddings are perfect for couples who want something simple and stress-free. The Champaign County Courthouse in Urbana is a lovely place for a wedding. Its historic charm makes it a beautiful and meaningful spot to say “I do.”

Couples often choose courthouse weddings because they’re affordable and easy to plan. Even though they’re simple, they can be just as special and full of love as a big wedding.

What Happens on Your Wedding Day?

The courthouse is a cozy and welcoming place for your big moment. Whether it’s just you two or a few close family and friends, the ceremony will feel intimate and personal. Many couples add personal touches like special vows, a bouquet, or fun outfits to make the day extra special.

How I’ll Capture Your Courthouse Wedding

At Light by Zoey Photography, I want your photos to tell your love story. From the ceremony to portraits outside the courthouse, I’ll capture all the little details and emotions of your day.

1. Chat Before the Wedding

We’ll chat before your wedding day to plan your photos. Whether you like traditional poses or fun, candid moments, I’ll make sure your photos match your style.

2. Ceremony Moments

During the ceremony, I’ll quietly capture the smiles, laughs, and happy tears. These real moments make the best memories.

3. Photos Outside

After the ceremony, we’ll take pictures inside and outside the courthouse. The steps, vintage lampposts, and tree-lined streets make beautiful backdrops for your portraits.

4. Quick Photo Delivery

I know you’ll be excited to see your photos, so I’ll deliver them in 3-4 weeks. Need them faster? Just let me know, and I’ll do my best to help.

Tips for a Great Courthouse Wedding

• Dress Up: Even a simple setting can feel fancy with the right outfit. Wear something that makes you feel amazing.
• Bring Props: A bouquet, a “Just Married” sign, or Veil can make your photos fun and personal.
• Invite Loved Ones: Even a few family members or friends can make your day more special.
• Plan a Celebration: After the ceremony, celebrate with a small dinner or party to keep the happiness going.
