Camp Aramoni Styled Winter Shoot

Happy Holidays! I am SO excited to share this post with you today because 1. I got to be a pretend bride and 2. This event space has a huge personal connection to me.

Camp Aramoni is Illinois’ first and only luxury campground and event space. The venue, Bricks & Stones, was a brickyard’s blacksmith shop during the 1800’s and now serves a stunning venue for weddings, corporate retreats and other large functions. The venue is now open for events and the campground will open on August 1, 2021. They are currently taking reservations for the luxury safari-style tents.

The Camp Aramoni staff asked me to be a model for their Winter styled shoot to show off not only the venue but also the talented team of vendors they partnered with. What was really cool about this was that my boyfriend got to jump in at the last minute to be the groom! (no, we did not get married 😂) I had no idea what to expect, but I was blown away with all of the vendors who were involved with the shoot and the photos turned out amazing.

Being able to work with Camp Aramoni on this styled shoot really meant a lot to me because my dad poured all of the concrete at the space and let me tell ya there’s a LOT of it out there. My dad is great friends with the owners, Tim and Jennifer Bias, and it has been so cool to see them transform this place from the ground up. I really appreciate my dad’s hard work and seeing the event space done is just incredible.

Camp Aramoni’s goal is to create luxury experiences for weddings and special events. This is easy for them because they have created lasting relationships with vendors all across Illinois and beyond. This all-inclusive destination features four outdoor ceremony locations, the historic event venue, and on-site luxury accommodations. For weddings, this reduces travel times for guests and allows couples to turn their weddings into weekend-long celebrations with the people who mean most to them. Whatever you want at your event, Camp Aramoni’s small team can cater to your unique needs and make it happen.

Overall, I had a great experience at this shoot! All of the vendors worked well together as a team and I was very impressed how the venue was transformed to a picturesque winter wedding in a very short period of time. All of the vendors were very professional, and I would consider working with them again in the future!

I would like to thank the Camp Aramoni team for letting me be the model for the shoot. As I mentioned, the venue is now open to book for your future event or wedding and they are now taking reservations for the luxury campground. Use code “HOLIDAYTRAVEL” to take 20% off your stay.
