Alissa & Marcus
She is truly the ying to his yang. Alissa & Marcus balance each other so well that it’s no wonder their wedding day just felt right. Their intimate celebration took place on a crisp fall day at the historic Cheney Mansion in Oak Park, IL, embracing a warm fall color palette of navy blue, burgundy and champagne that seamlessly melded with nature during their outdoor ceremony.

Amber &Camden
I didn’t believe in wedding planners, but I’m so glad Camden found you. We couldn’t have done this without you!” These were the words of this independent bride who thought she, her mom, and her friends could manage her wedding day on their own. Thankfully, she conceded to her then-fiancé and allowed us to help her finalize all the details of her elegant, downtown Chicago celebration at the historic Chicago Athletic Association Hotel. From the perfectly timed first look to managing the traffic in this busy hotel lobby to get the perfect photos on the marble staircase, this highly-involved bride was able to sit back, relax and enjoy her day.

Classic, elegant, iconic…three words to describe the wedding these two love birds hosted at the end of their 5-day marriage celebration. Set on the grounds of The Armour House at Lake Forest Academy, these two didn’t miss a single detail in their day. It was the perfect culmination to the first 12 years of their relationship, which started in college.

Bhumi & Raj
This beautiful couple wanted a not-so-traditional, traditional Indian wedding to celebrate their love. Initially delayed for a year by COVID, they wanted a full Hindu ceremony, but not the full 300+ person guest count. They and their parents managed to keep the guest list to about 160 of their closest and dearest friends and family, making for an epic and amazingly fun day. Of course, though, they couldn’t marry without their fur baby, Cashew, present. So we made sure he was present & well cared for during the ceremony.

Cortney & Dane
This couple married in the backyard of the bride’s childhood home & celebrated with dinner & dancing at the neighboring country club. The day after the wedding, guests returned to the home for a catered thank you & farewell brunch. The couple offered a nod to their love for good wine with grape themed cufflinks for him and clutch purse for her. And because they are always looking for good light-hearted fun, they brought in pizza and light up cotton candy as late night snacks.

Jennifer & Aaron
When adoration and passion collide with genuine friendship, you get the perfect love story that Jenn & Aaron share. These two Texas lovers met after the “right” swipe and dated for just 2 years before deciding on forever. They were the most relaxed and non-stressed couple during the planning process, with most responses to vendor questions being “whatever you think is best.” Their focus for the day was simply to say “I do” and have a great party with their closest loved ones in Jenn’s hometown. After seeing the roof top views and the art deco vibe of the Penthouse Hyde Park, they knew it was the perfect space for their intimate and joyful celebration. Before the night was over, they both said this was the best wedding ever!

Skylar & Jacob
Serving our country in the US Army, this incredible couple was stationed in Kansas as they started planning their big day, with expectations of being relocated soon. So they decided to get married at the most central point for all of their family across the country, Chicago. They chose the historic Rookery Building as the backdrop for their red, white & blue inspired celebration. From beginning to end, it was simply beautiful. Beautiful love. Beautiful people. And an absolutely beautiful day.
