Brittany and Frank's Wedding

We just adore Brittany and Frank!  You may remember these two from their beautiful Chicago Engagement Session a few months ago!  They were amazing to work with then, and their wedding day was no different.  Could they possibly look any more beautiful or any more in love? We just loved Brittany's amazing gown, and those gold shoes are to.die.for.  Also, we can never tire of a handsome groom in a bow tie.  Am I right?

Brittany and Frank were married and had their reception at the Hotel Palomar, where every pink, coral and gold detail was perfectly executed.

We simply love everything about their day.

Please take a look at a few of our favorite images from their wedding, and leave them some love!

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!

Elizabeth and Matt's Wedding

Elizabeth and Matt were so much fun to work with!  Although the weather took a turn for the worse right before their ceremony, they and their bridal party certainly made the best of it! Elizabeth and her girls readied at her parents home, where we fawned over her beautiful dress and those amazing Badgley Mischka pumps!  On the way to their ceremony, the heavens opened up and did their worst.

Fortunately, the weather cleared up shortly after the ceremony leaving us beautiful, even light as we did a few portraits outside at the Wrigley Building and the Kinzie Street Bridge!

Elizabeth and Matt's reception at the Hyatt Lodge in Oakbrook was so beautiful, and everyone had a blast.  We just loved their metallic and rose-gold decor and the live music!

Please enjoy a few of our favorite images from their celebration:

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!
