Hickory Creek Forest Preserve wedding in Mokena and DIY wedding of Jessica + Sara
Jessica and Sara got married on October 2, 2016 at Hickory Creek Forest Preserve in Mokena. From arriving at Jessica's parents home where they were both getting ready it was evident at how much work they put into all the details of their wedding. One of my favorite details was all the plates they had sourced from multiple thrift and vintage shops. It was just stunning! All of the florals were also done by them including the gorgeous fabric and burlap bridal bouquet. I could not believe she made it herself nor have I seen such a unique bouquet before. Also her father is a baker and made the wedding cake along with cookies, and other goodies. They told me to help myself and I must say I did (who doesn't love cookies) and they were amazing! If you are looking for a great baker check out her dad's bakery called Iversen's Bakery in Blue Island. You will not be disappointed. Instead of a guest signing book they had rocks that everyone signed that I thought was very unique. Well enjoy the images from their special day!

The Abbey Resort Wedding in Lake Geneva Wisconsin of Brett and Todd
I was so excited to photograph the wedding of Todd and Brett. When they first contacted me Brett and me instantly hit it off since we actually went to the same college, Harrington College of Design and we shared a mutual hate of cilantro! They got married at the gorgeous Abbey Resort in Lake Geneva Wisconsin on September 4, 2016 surrounded by family and friends and we had the most perfect day for their wedding. They got married with the boats and lake in the background under a beautiful gazebo. So take a peak at their wedding!

The Crown at the Tribune Tower Wedding
I met Jeremy and Lewis and learned all about their love of Disney and how they had met while working there in the college program. They were so fun to work with. They celebrated surrounded by family and friends. I arrived to them getting ready at the Gwen Hotel, then we walked though the mall to get to the Tribune photographing them along the way. They got married on the top of the GORGEOUS Crown at the Tribune Tower in Chicago. I just love Chicago weddings! Enjoy the images from their day!
