In a couple of weeks, Jenna + Adam will be celebration their 1st wedding anniversary and we didn’t want to forget as October is a busy month for us.

They said “I do” in a celebration filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. From their beautiful ceremony at Immaculate Conception and St. Joseph Parish to an epic night of dancing at the Four Seasons Chicago, every part of the day reflected the love they share and the amazing people who surround them.

Their first dance to Stay With You by John Legend still makes us smile, and we can’t forget how the Gold Coast All Stars kept the dance floor packed all night long. Sparklers lit up the room, but nothing shined brighter than this beautiful couple.

Happy 1st Anniversary, Jenna + Adam! Wishing you a lifetime of love, joy, and new adventures. Thank you for letting us be part of your story!

XOXO,

~ Dawn + Bob

One year ago today, Sarah + Evan said "I do" at the Loews Hotel and what a day it was! August 3, 2024, will forever be one of our favorites. Everything was stunning, but nothing compares to the love these two share. You can see it in every glance, every smile. They truly are the perfect pair.

Alicia and Grace from Clementine Custom Events brought Sarah + Evan’s wedding day to life with seamless planning and flawless execution. Tina Sclafani of Magnificent Brides and Magda Rodriguez made sure Sarah looked absolutely stunning, and Burt Rubenstein and his team at HMR Designs transformed the space with gorgeous decor. The ceremony took place on the rooftop of the Loews Hotel, and it was the most perfect day for an outdoor wedding, blue skies, sunshine, the wonderful Rabbi David Young, and love in the air. The Loews provided the perfect backdrop for it all, and the Gold Coast All Stars kept the celebration going strong all night long with incredible energy on the dance floor.

And just when you thought the party was over… the afterparty took it to the next level! Brent from Fig Media kept the energy high, spinning tracks well into the wee hours. Realized Events brought the fun with vibrant afterparty decor “GO BLUE”!

Not only are Sarah and Evan a beautiful couple, they’re two of the kindest people we’ve had the joy of photographing. Happy anniversary, you two! Here’s to a lifetime of love and laughter.

XOXO,

~ Dawn + Bob

Kaila and Andrew’s wedding at the Renaissance Chicago Hotel was such an amazing celebration, not to mention incredibly fun! We first met Andrew’s parents, Pam and Phil, at a gala years ago and instantly connected. That meaningful introduction eventually led us to meeting their son, Andrew and his then girlfriend, Kaila, and we’re so grateful it did. They are the nicest, kindest, most beautiful couple, and we absolutely adore them and the love they share with each other. It’s the kind of love that’s so genuine and effortless, and it was a true honor to capture their wedding day!

The incredible team at Great Events planned every detail to perfection, making the day feel seamless. Bloome Floral filled the space with stunning arrangements that brought warmth and elegance to every corner. And the Renaissance Chicago Hotel was the perfect venue, modern, stylish, and ideal for a city celebration.

On August 5th, a year ago, we had the honor of photographing Blair and Ryan's stunning ballroom wedding at The Ritz-Carlton in Chicago. The day was not only defined by the opulence of the venue but also by the evident love radiating from the couple. It was a day filled with joy, and happiness, and we were fortunate to capture every cherished moment. Blair and Ryan’s genuine love and warmth left a lasting impression on all who were present.

While the beautiful decor, designed by Yanni Design Studio, offered a stunning backdrop, Blair and Ryan truly stole the spotlight. Blair, wearing an exquisite Ines Di Santo gown, captivated everyone with her grace. Ryan, looking quite handsome in his tux, had a smile that never went away.

As they celebrate their first anniversary, let's toast to Blair and Ryan. May their love continue to flourish, and may they share many more joyful moments together. Here's to a future filled with happiness.
