Gwen and Patrick's Wedding

It's been a while since our last post, but we have a good excuse!  Meet Milo Joel, our perfect and beautiful third-born son.  He was born on December 12th, weighing 8lbs and measuring 21.5" long.  We are completely over the moon for him and have been enjoying our time getting to know this precious little man. milo

We are now ready to get back into the swing of things, and bring you more wedding prettiness!

So, without further adieu, take a peek at Gwendalyn and Patrick's wedding that was chock full of gorgeous inspiration!

Gwen and Patrick had a sweet, heartfelt ceremony filled with love and laughter.  We had so much fun doing their outdoor portraits, despite the wind!  They and their bridal party were so much fun to work with!

Their pretty reception at Blumen Gardens was overflowing with all the things we love, including twinkle lights and macaroons!

Take a look at a few of our favorite images from their sweet day:

Anna and Jeff's Wedding

Anna and Jeff had a sweet, blush pink wedding on the grounds of the beautiful Morton Arboretum.  Everything flowed together flawlessly, and we loved their attention to detail! Everyone had such genuine smiles all day long, and they were so much fun to work with.

We couldn't have asked for better weather, and we were thrilled to be able to hold their heartfelt ceremony outside in the garden.

We adore all the peonies they used in their reception -- they are definitely one of our favorite flowers, and we've been seeing so much of them this season!  We love it!

Vlad and Carlie's Wedding

Vlad and Carlie had a darling Chicago wedding with beautiful blush pink and ivory details.  We absolutely love Carlie's amazing bow-backed pumps and incredible gown, and her bouquet by Steve's Flower Market were to die for! Carlie's hair was done by Carla Aloisio of Gossip Salon, and her beautiful makeup by Cherie Gill from Sonia Roselli Studio.   They were married and had their reception at The Murphy in downtown Chicago.  With the florals by Kloeckner Preferred Florist, their space couldn't have been more beautiful!  It was the perfect location for their fun and laughter-filled fete.  We so enjoyed the different spots they chose for their portraits around the city, including the Wrigley Building and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Please take a look at some of our favorite images from their day!
