Dan and Ashley's Wedding

Dan and Ashley had the sweetest wedding just a few weeks back!  They didn't let a little rainfall dampen their day, and were even graced with a rainbow sighting!  Ashley has the most beautiful, contagious smile and has a way of putting everyone around her at ease.  These two were a blast to work with, and we are thrilled to have been a part of their day. Ashley had a simply stunning gown, and we can't get over those amazing shoes!!  Also, is there anything more dapper than a man in a fantastic blue suit?

We tend to think not.

Please take a few of our favorite images from their day that took place at Thunderhawk Golf Club:

Jerry and Sinda's Wedding

This wedding was so refreshing to shoot!  Set at Mon Ami Gabi, Jerry and Sinda's wedding was bursting with intimate moments surrounded by an inspired, lovely low-key atmosphere.

Jerry and Sinda hired the amazingly talented Kim Gapinski to work with them on their day, and she did a great job pulling everything together.  The day ran seamlessly and we were all so happy to have their beautiful ceremony outside as planned.

Sinda's dress was absolutely breathtaking, and I have to admit that it definitely ranks in the list of our top 5 favorite gowns.  These two couldn't have been more sweet, it was an incredible day for two wonderful people.

Please take a peek at some of our favorite shots from their day, and be sure to leave them some love in the comments!

Rachel and Robert's Wedding

We just adore this sweet, rustic-inspired wedding set at The Ellis House in Minooka, IL.  Rachel and Robert were so much fun to work with, and are so obviously head over heels for each other.  They were a joy to be around all day, and we couldn't be happier for the two of them! We just love their color choices, and the fact that all the girls wore cowboy boots with their beautiful dresses!  Also, can you believe those little flower girls?  Too cute for words.

Their reception at Whitetail Ridge Golf Club was filled to the brim with personal details.  We loved their "Table Letters" and all the unique centerpieces.  We were also blown away by Rachel and Robert's first dance.  It was incredible!

Please enjoy some of our favorite images from their day!

Scott and Mary's Wedding

Scott and Mary had an adorable wedding at the Oak Brook Bath and Tennis Club  which, coincidentally, is where we were married just over 8 years ago! Mary's dress was simply amazing, and we love that Scott wore a pair of Chucks (same as Jake on our wedding day)!   We truly loved their simple, thoughtful details, their soft color palette and the way everything pulled together.

Please enjoy a few of our favorites from their day!

Krina and Kevin's Wedding at the Chicago Botanical Garden

Krina and Kevin were a blast to work with on their wedding day!  They were a relaxed, easy-going couple and so full of love!  Their adorable 1 year old son, Karter, absolutely stole the show -- and absolutely no one minded! These two had a fairly short engagement and made a great decision by choosing to work with Clementine Custom Events, who pulled their beautiful day together seamlessly!  We love that they decided to do their sweet, heart-felt ceremony and fun-filled reception at The Chicago Botanic Gardens in Glencoe, IL.  This location has so much to offer, visually and creatively and is definitely one of our favorite places to work!

Please take a  peek at some of our favorite images, and leave Krina and Kevin some love!
