Sarah and Eric

I had the pleasure of photographing Sarah and Eric’s wedding the other week at one of coolest venues in Illinois, The Silver Fox. It was an old Masonic Temple that they turned into a swanky speakeasy feeling wedding venue. Seriously, everywhere you turn at this place is an opportunity to make great photos. The day started with one of the groomsmen combing through their extensive vinyl collection which set the mood of the day. Their ceremony was held upstairs in an old auditorium and the reception was downstairs in a refurbished community room. I had a wonderful time spending the day with Sarah and Eric and I can’t wait to show them all the photos!

Here’s a list of their vendors:

Venue: The Silver Fox
DJ: Shah Quaiyoom
Hair: Corpo Bello Salon
Makeup: Stef Krause
Caterer: Mark Allen’s in Peru, IL
Dessert: The Ottawa Bakery
Alcohol: Streator Drugs

Monica and Dan's Wedding

Monica and Dan are dear friends of ours.  Their sweet, handcrafted wedding earlier this summer was so filled with amazing details (all made by our amazingly talented friend, Monica) and was absolutely bursting with love and laughter. We were honored and overjoyed to be a part of their day!

Monica and Dan were married at their local church in Streator, Illinois.  From there we went to The Silver Fox   for some portraits of the two of them and their bridal party, before heading over to the Country Mansion for their beautiful reception.  They had a cake at every table, and a candy table that was out of this world.  Every detail was so adorable, and we loved the recurring chalkboard theme throughout their whole day!

We couldn't be happier for these two, and wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!

Congratulations, Monica and Dan!
