Literally two of the most perfect humans on the planet. We had such a good time with these two genuine, kind-hearted, organized people. We loved every minute of their day, from the sweetest first look, to the gorgeous ceremony, to the dance floor that was boppin’ all night. We just know these two are going to have the best lives together. They are surrounded by wonderful people, and they couldn’t be more wonderful themselves. One for the record books.

When the couple says “we’re doing all showtunes through cocktail hour”, we know we’re in for a good time. Amanda + Michael got pandemic-married, and finally got to celebrate with all of their wonderful people at Trigger Chicago on an absolutely stunning day in October.

From their book and book flower centerpieces to Michael and his frat brothers serenading Amanda, to the packed dance floor, the day was perfect. We were so happy to celebrate with two people who so clearly respect and admire each other, and know how to have a great time. Congratulations, Amanda + Michael!
