Whitney and Sam's Wedding

Whitney and Sam's wedding was so lovely.  Married on the roof of Navy Pier, these two lovebirds had a dream team of vendors to pull their day off including: Neha Patel of Belle la Vie Events, Hello Darling with their amazing florals and event styling, and the incredibly talented team of Solo Salon that took care of hair and beauty! We couldn't have asked for a better day, or more wonderful people to work with.  We loved the sweet lemon details, the navy blue of the bridal party, and Whitney's incredible gown!

Their live band was amazing, and ending the evening with fireworks was absolutely perfect way to send the guests off!

Please take a peek at a few of our favorite images from Sam and Whitney's day:

Lauren and Brian's Wedding

Lauren and Brian had one of the most romantic and intimate brunch wedding we've ever experienced.  Held on the historic grounds of the Armour House in Lake Forest, Illinois, this wedding was one for the books. Lauren's gown was so exquisite, we couldn't take our eyes off it.  It also had pockets, which is a total win in our opinion!  From the incredible shoes to the dapper groom's bow tie, every moment of this wedding was simply perfect.

They were unabashedly head-over-heels for one another, and it showed through in everything they did.  We so loved the adoring way Brian looked at his bride!

Every detail of their day was glamorous, yet simple and dignified. Gail, their planner from from GZ Weddings & Events was such a pleasure to work with and kept the event going seamlessly.

We could shoot a thousand weddings like this and never tire of it. So, please enjoy some of our favorite images from their beautiful day:

Teddy and Svetla's Wedding

Teddy and Svetla had such a great wedding, and they were amazing to work with!  It just can't get better than a classy wedding with a rocker edge! These two lovebirds were married at the Deer Path Inn in Lake Forest, and it created the perfect setting for their day.

Svetla was styled by the talented Marek, and was absolutely breathtaking.  She wore a sheer lace gown, and totally rocked it.  Svetla and Teddy couldn't take their eyes off of each other all day.  We loved the way Teddy made Svetla laugh...the two of them couldn't be any sweeter.

Their ceremony was amazing, and their vows were taken from rock songs.  It was great!  The reception was filled with fantastic live music, definitely some of the best we've heard, and we absolutely love that they shared their first dance with their adorable 4 year old son.

We wish Teddy and Svetla continued happiness and love!

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.

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!
