Love was in the air as Andrew took Kaila's hand, his heart racing with excitement. Surrounded by the crisp winter night, he asked one of the most important questions of his life. It was a proposal straight out of a romantic movie. Despite the cold outside, there was warmth in their hearts as he got down on one knee and asked Kaila to be his forever. And Kaila with her beautiful smile said YES!

But the magic didn't end there. a celebration followed, gathering at Gibson's Italia in Chicago with all their friends and family to share in their joy. As they toasted to the happy couple, laughter and love filled the room, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

Pam and Phil, the groom's parents who we consider dear friends, were beaming with pride and love as they welcomed Kaila into their family with open arms. Their warmth and kindness only added to the sweetness of the occasion, reminding everyone present of the power of love and family.

We are so very excited to be photographing their beautiful wedding next year!

xoxo!!!

In about a month this beautiful couple with be celebrating their 1 year anniversary! It's so hard to believe how fast life is flying by. Hallie and Bradley's wedding was at the Renaissance Chicago hotel and it was beautiful. We love that Bradley's dad is a lover of photography and takes some pretty spectacular landscape photos. Their love for photography is just incredibly wonderful! I mean doesn't all artists want to work with people who have a natural love for what they do!

Wishing this beautiful couple a very happy 1 year anniversary a month early! Always fun to look back at wedding photos!!!

Thank you Great Events for sharing us with this wonderful family!

xoxo!

Sarah + Zach, Happy 1st wedding anniversary!!! We cant believe how fast this year has passed. Its been so fun reliving your wedding going through all your photos. It was so hard to narrow this down because there are so many amazing ones!

The energy between the two of you lit up the room. Bob and I particularly love one of Maya Angelous quotes "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. And there is no doubt that everyone who had the honor of being at your wedding felt the love you both share that day, and Im sure every day!

You both, and your family are such a blessing to everyone who knows you. And we are so honored to have captured this day for you all.

We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!!!

xoxo!!!

Alexis + Brian, Its so hard to believe a year has passed and you will be celebrating your 1 year anniversary tomorrow! Selecting the photos for this post was so hard because there are so many to share. Your wedding was incredibly beautiful, and your love is even more beautiful. I was reluctant to do this post as the loss in your family has been devastating& and we didnt want to cause any hurt. I checked with you mom, Marina, and she said it was ok to include photos of your sweet uncle. Life is so fragile and so precious, we wish you and your entire family a bond that will never break and a lifetime of happiness together.
We love you all so much and we are looking forward to another Levitas wedding next month!

OXOX!

~ Dawn

Last August 2021, Roslyn and Art invited their friends and family to their engagement party. Everyone was so happy to celebrate with them because they have the cutest story of friends turned lovers!

The party was at Doug + Matt beautiful home, one of Roslyns best friend, where the front yard was set up to entertain a really sweet cocktail party. What most everyone didnt know was they were actually there to witness the two of them getting married.

Before the festivities began, those who were in the know, got to witness the signing of the ketubah. Guests began arriving and the hugs were flowing. Then Roslyn and Art snuck away so they could get into their wedding attire. Doug + Matt made an announcement for everyone to head to the back yard so they could continue celebrating.

What they saw was a beautiful ceremony setting and realized what was happening. The look on their faces was priceless! Roz and Art tied the knot and they danced all night long! The best part was yet to come with a full on reception happening just a few months later which we cant wait to share those photos next!

We are so very happy for you Roz + Art& and we are so honored to have captured all these amazing moments for you!!!

xoxo!!!
