Full of sweet tradition and young love, this beautiful Chicago suburb wedding was full of romance and gorgeous summer blooms.  Brittany wore a Peter Langner gown (a designer Milan, Italy) with a stunning tulle and lace skirt addition for an extra layer of glamour, while her Blush clad maids gathered around to prep their friend just before her First Look.  

They opted for portraits at the Chicago Botanical Garden, then set out towards The Armour House for their outdoor Ceremony which concluded just before a cold mist rolled in.  Their indoor Reception was intimate and full of charm, with a staircase taking center stage dripping with greenery and twinkling candles from top to bottom. The perfect setting for an evening of love and celebration just before their Sparkler send off.

“Bea!!!!!!  All of the photos are absolutely incredible. We just spent the last several hours ooohing and ahhhing and crying and reminiscing over every single one. I can’t wait to go through them again. You captured every memory and emotion perfectly.  I wasn’t even expecting such a quick turnaround for the amount of photos you delivered! I’m so happy with how beautiful the entire day turned out and the photos reflect it in the most perfect light. You were amazing to work with and we had so much fun!”
