The wedding day is all about the marriage and being surrounded by those that you love, and that’s exactly how Julia and Tom celebrated their love. They may have planned for a larger wedding, but like everyone else “COVID” happened, and at the end of the day just wanted to be married. When life throws […]

It’s crazy to think that the month of August already marks the one year anniversary of Lexee and Kory’s Oak Hill Farm wedding in Galena. Their wedding was one of our favorites from last year! If anyone knows how to throw a party it’s Lexee and Kory. Their soft and romantic color palette paired perfectly […]

It’s crazy to think that Alex and Chris tied the knot already a year ago! These two had lots of soft romantic details from the draped pergola for their ceremony to the candlelight filled tables inside the main dining room at Fishermen’s Inn; we loved embellishing each and every space. We used various shades of […]

Happy one year and one week to Caitlin and Paul! My, oh my, how time flies. I cannot believe it was just last May on a rainy day that these two said their ‘I Do’s’ in front of their closest friends and family. It wasn’t the outdoor vineyard ceremony that they had dreamed and planned […]

Romantic and elegant, with a touch of glam is how I would describe Luba and Zach’s winter wedding at Fishermen’s Inn – Elburn this year. These two were so sweet and down to earth, and absolutely perfect for each other. They held an indoor ceremony with family and friends as they exchanged vows under our […]

It feels like just yesterday that we were setting up Lauren and Joey’s Acquaviva Winery wedding and crossing our fingers that the projected rain would stay away. Fortunately it did, and we love the way everything turned out for these two. We’ve been holding onto some of their wedding images throughout the busyness and craziness, […]

Erin and Andrew hold a special place in my heart. Erin is my godchild, and it has been amazing to see her grow-up and become a bride. Her and Andrew are so perfect together! They way they look at each other just shows how much love is shared between these two. Like any wedding; we […]

Can we just rewind and re-do Fall? I feel like we blinked and it was over. It’s officially holiday mode for everyone, but we loved all the Fall weddings we were apart of, including Kelly and Scott’s Acquaviva Winery wedding. We loved their Fall color palette and wanted to share some of our favorites from […]

It was a crisp Fall day for Logan and Mark’s wedding at Hotel Baker and we are so excited to share some of their images from Stephanie Hulthen Photography who was there to capture all the details. There’s nothing more romantic than exchanging vows under an arch full of fresh floral and candlelight, and that’s […]
