Alyssa and Matt's New Years Eve Nuptials

Alyssa and Matt tied the knot on snowy New Years Eve night. It's always hard for people to make plans for New Years, but it was easy for Alyssa and Matt's guests who knew instead of fighting their way through a packed bar they'd get a great meal, good drinks, a raging dance party - oh, and to celebrate 2 dear friends get married. For Alyssa and Matt and everyone lucky enough to be involved; celebrating love was the perfect way to ring in the New Year!

Laura and Mark's Uniquely Awesome Wedding Day

Laura and Mark knew they wanted to do things a little differently. They decided early on that they were going to have an intimate ceremony and lunch with close family and friends before heading to a cocktail reception with the rest of their crew. They saw each other for the first time at Villa D'Citta before heading up to the Waterfront Café for their perfect small ceremony. Then the couple snuck off for a private glass of champagne at one of their favorite restaurants; Vera. From there it was a short walk (with plenty of pictures) to The Centered Chef; one of Chicago's newest (and coolest) venues. Custom cocktails and small bites mixed with classic party rap made this wedding one of the most unique and awesome ones we've had the pleasure of shooting. Congratulations to Laura and Mark!

Justin & Kim's St Joseph Wedding

Kim and Justin knew they wanted to do something different for their wedding. They decided to have a 'destination' wedding, but only about 100 miles from Chicago in St. Joseph Michigan. They saw each other for the first time and then it was off to the lake for fun pictures with their wedding party. After pictures, they tied the knot at the Shadowland Pavilion before heading back to the Shadowland Ballroom for an excellent party. Guests were treated to rides on the carousel which was a huge hit, tasty blueberry cocktails and awesome tunes. At dusk Kim and Justin lit off a couple Chinese Sky Lanterns for good luck. It definitely worked for the pictures! Take a look at some of our favorites from the day!

Anne and Landis's Nature Museum Nuptuals

Anne and Landis have a history. Almost a decade ago their older sisters tried to set them up, but it didn't quite stick. Well, thankfully, we got to celebrate a big milestone with them as they tied the knot at Old St Pats before a rousing reception at The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. With assistance from Amanda Johnson at Shannon Gail Weddings and music by The Chicago Catz the party went off perfectly! Anne's dad and brothers even got up to perform a couple traditional Irish songs. The whole thing was beautiful and we're so proud we were able to be a part of it. Check out their slideshow below!
