One year ago this week, we had the pleasure of photographing the most magical outdoor wedding at Lake Shore Country Club in Glencoe, IL, where Carrie and Ben tied the knot!

Their kindness and warmth shone through every moment of their special day, leaving a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to be in attendance. And it's no surprise, considering the wonderful family they come from, who filled the day with love and support.

From the beautiful backdrop of Lake Shore Country Club to the meticulous attention to detail, every aspect of the wedding was nothing short of perfection. Every flower, every smile, and every heartfelt moment came together to create a day that will be cherished forever.

What makes this story even more special is that we had the privilege of capturing the love again when we photographed Carrie's twin sister, Margie's wedding to Jordy a few months later! The bond between these two sisters and their family is truly heartwarming and a testament to the power of love. We cant wait to share their photos on their 1 year anniversary as well.

Here's to a year of love, happiness, and beautiful memories for Carrie and Ben! May their journey together continue to be filled with joy and love!

Thank you to Alison Ross Events for sharing us with this wonderful family!

oxxo!

Marissa and Jake will be celebrating their 1 year wedding anniversary next week. Their incredible wedding took place at the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel in the heart of Chicago, a venue as beautiful as their love story. With its luxurious decor and breathtaking cityscape views, the Four Seasons provided an impeccable backdrop for the their special day.

Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Marissa and Jake exchanged vows filled with promises of unwavering support, and a future filled with shared dreams. The grand ballroom was filled with white hydrangeas and pink roses, soft candlelight, and touches of greenery, creating an atmosphere of romance. The reception was a symphony of heartfelt toasts, first dances, and moments of pure happiness. We hope as they reflect upon their first year as a married couple, Marissa and Jake's love continues to thrive, a testament to the profound connection they share and the beautiful journey they've embarked upon together.

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

oxxo!

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!!!
