Winter Wedding at Tuscany Falls in Mokena
Danielle and Marty were one of the most in love couples I have ever gotten to work with. Their unique winter wedding took place just 2 days before Christmas and they had decorated for it at their ceremony and reception at Tuscany Falls in Mokena. Danielle had done some DIY projects such as a burned wood project with her and Marty's names which were very cool. The music they had selected for the day included Jacks Mannequin and Panic at the Disco, what could be better? Danielle also had a special dance with her sister after her and Marty's first dance that included big feather fans, called Sisters from the Movie "White Christmas" Take a peek at their beautiful day full of love, rustic touches, and Christmas Cheer!

Ivy Room's Dining Room and Chef's Kitchen at Tree Studios Intimate Winter Wedding
Megan and Scott wed surrounded by their families at the beautiful Ivy Room's Dining Room and Chef's Kitchen at Tree Studios. The snow was falling as everyone gathered and we braved the cold for some beautiful outdoor portraits. After photos outside, we head inside for the ceremony. As the kids walked up the aisle leading their parents to the hearth out of the corner of my eye I spied Megan's sister teaching Megan's parents the art of the selfie.
The ceremony was touching as Megan and Scott read letters affirming their love of their newly formed blended family. Megan and Scott could barely hold back the tears, nor could anyone else. It was a touching and sentimental ceremony.
Immediately following, the wonderful staff at Tree Studios got to work switching the room over to dinner as the family enjoyed delicious Hors-d'oeuvre at the Chef's Kitchen which was attached. The tablescape was romantic with candlelight and the beautiful florals.
Congratulations Scott and Megan again on your beautiful day!

Peninsula Hotel Brunch Winter Wedding
I met Jennifer while shooting Sara and Steves wedding this past summer, You can even see her in an image with Sara and all the girls at the end of my blog post! I was so excited that she wanted me to shoot her engagement shoot and wedding. Once we started talking the details about her wedding I was instantly excited, from the wire cake rack filled with donuts, her one of a kind ensemble, to her gorgeous custom made engagement ring I was hooked! They had a fabulous wedding in the early afternoon followed by brunch. I think more people should have brunch weddings, they are just so laid back and fun! We even braved the freezing cold to get a few show in the city! So take a peak at her wonderful wedding day! Happy 1 week anniversary Jennifer and Bob!
