We just loved Eden and Peter and their sunny May wedding. This sweet couple exchanged their personal vows privately at a beautiful park nearby. There were so many unique touches to their wedding, including Eden’s bridesmaids who looked stunning in their mix of spring-inspired dresses, each perfectly complementing her vibrant bouquet. Before the ceremony, guests sipped drinks and enjoyed the unique view of planes gliding into O’Hare, a fun and memorable backdrop for the festivities. As the night unfolded, the dance floor stayed packed with energy and laughter. To top it all off, guests were treated to a true Chicago favorite for a late-night snack, Portillo’s hot dogs. All in all, it was a night that radiated love for each other and for their loved ones.

We LOVE love and are so happy that we were able to be a part of this special couple's wedding day! On a beautiful and sunny fall day, Bre and Krystle had a touching ceremony on the rooftop of The Standard (what a cool venue!) in downtown Rockford, IL. Afterwards guests mingled on the rooftop while enjoying delectable grazing tables and large yard games. As a nod to Krystle’s heritage, guests enjoyed an unforgettable Filipino dinner prepared by local Rockford restaurant 27 Aluna and the dancefloor was PACKED all night! Congrats again to Bre and Krystle, we know you'll have a happy and beautiful life together!

The most BEAUTIFUL day with the most beautiful people. Our bride Sam had done a styled shoot with us years ago and when she reached out to us to coordinate her wedding, we were thrilled. These two. What a light in the world! All week, it threatened rain, but together with an incredible vendor team, we made that rooftop ceremony happen! And then we got the most gorgeous sunset of all time.

It was such a special day celebrating two people so in love it was palpable. A magician at cocktail hour, capybara cake toppers, recessing to Rocky Horror? Sam + Alex are perfect. We love you both. Congratulations!

From the Lord of the Rings music to the sweetest vows to the glow sticks on the dance floor, these two were smiling all day. So in love, so sweet, and so. much. fun.

Congratulations, and we wish you two a wonderful life together! Cheers!
