Bob and I couldn't be more honored to have photographed this beautiful wedding. You see when an event planner asks you to photograph their daughter's wedding and to us, that's big deal. We were so happy to be part of this magnificent day that took place at The Standard Club in Chicago.

From the outstanding decor that took our breath away by Tom Kehoe and his tribe at Kehoe Designs, to the entire team that brought this wedding to fruition, there wasn't any detailed missed. Nothing!

Thank you Randy and Susie for trusting us with Marlee and Mathew's wedding day... the wedding of the century! We hope that when you look through the photos it brings you back to the most amazing day ever!

Much love!

~ Dawn and Bob

Melissa and David's July wedding at The Standard Club in Chicago was a breathtaking celebration of love and unity. The venue's high ceilings and wood floors provided a stunning backdrop for their special day, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance.

But what truly made the day unforgettable was the warmth and love shared by both families. Melissa's family welcomed David with open arms, while David's family embraced Melissa as one of their own. Together, they created an atmosphere of love and support that surrounded them as they exchanged vows and embarked on their journey together.

The reception was a joyous affair, filled with laughter, dancing, and delicious cuisine. As the night drew to a close, Melissa and David stole a moment alone to reflect on the beauty of their love and the memories they had created together. You can see that in the last couple of photos!

Melissa and David's wedding beautifully demonstrated how love can bring hearts together, marking the start of a new journey embraced by cherished loved ones. With hands intertwined, they embarked on their future, filled with confidence that their bond would only grow stronger with each day that unfolded. And we wish them a lifetime of happiness together!

XOXO,

~ Dawn and Bob
