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!

Darcey and Carey's Fantastic Fulton's Wedding

Darci and Carey, one of the sweetest couples we've ever met, met playing volleyball in an intramural league. What followed was a long distance relationship between a Chicago and Ashland, OH. Darci subsequently moved to be with Carey in Ohio but they knew they wanted to have a Chicago wedding. There are few venues more 'Chicago' than Fultons on the River so it was an easy decision. After a beautiful and moving ceremony it was time to party. With entertainment provided by Darci's nephew,  a budding magician, and music by Roberto Monastero; a good time was had by all. Three cheers to Darci and Carey and we know they'll live a long and happy life together! 

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!
