Janel+Gary's Fall Wine Themed Wedding

The Proposal:  Janel and Gary are a fun and adventurous couple. They got engaged on a trip to Costa Rica when Gary arranged for a private dinner on the beach, and right before dessert he popped the question!  He gave her a ring from New York Jewelers. 

The Wedding: The day started with Janel getting ready at the Sheraton Chicago. The lovely event was planned by Elisa Juster from Simply Elegant Events, with florals by Ashland Addison Florist, makeup by Arch Apothecary, and hair by Rachel Miller.

Janel wore a gown by Martina Liana, and jewelry from BHLDN. The Bridesmaid's wore Jenny Yoo, while the Groom and Groomsmen wore Vera Wang from Men's Warehouse. Janel and Gary shared their first look in the lobby while their extended family and friends looked on. After a few happy tears, we headed out to a nearby fountain for the first bridal party photos. It started to rain almost immediately, but we embraced it and had a great time going around the city taking photos at the Kinzie St. Bridge, Board of Trade, Union Station, and U.S. Cellular Field! Just as we finished shooting on the field, it started to pour and we had to run for cover. Now it was off to the ceremony and reception at the Bridgeport Art Center. Janel and Gary married in the large first floor event space then went outside to share wine and cocktails with their guests while the room was changed for the reception festivities. Dinner was catered by the Hearty Boys, the cake was from Bitter Sweet, and music was provided by Blue Water Kings Band. 
Congrats Janel and Gary!
