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!

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!

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!

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!
