Laurie + David : Wedding Part I

October 25, 2011 by Jensey 2 Comments

When Laurie and David first met us, they were toying around with the idea of having a Disney wedding. We were secretly ecstatic when they moved the location to downtown Chicago. ;) The ceremony and reception were held at the luxurious Elysian Hotel.

Laurie and David opted to have a “first look” which gave us plenty of photo time around the city. :)

They kicked things off by practicing their first dance in the Elysian’s lobby.

David’s gorgeous daughter looking on. :)

Raina and David have the sweetest relationship!

Laurie and David arranged for us to take photos at Wrigley Field. I’m by no means a sports fan, but even I was excited about that! :)

My favorite. :):):)

Laurie designed her ceremony space herself- It looked amazing.

Kaitlyn + Eric : Preview

Nate and I were looking forward to this wedding since the moment we met Kaitlyn nearly a year and a half ago. She came to our meeting solo (a first for us!), and she was so bubbly and excited that we couldn’t help but feel the same. We’ve since met them for a mini session a year ago, and their sunrise engagement session last spring, so by the time their wedding date rolled around, we were old friends!

Kaitlyn could not have been more gorgeous. :)

Kaitlyn and Eric were married in the gorgeous St. James Cathedral in downtown Orlando.

Luckily there was plenty of time between the wedding at St. James and reception at Rosen Shingle Creek, because it took nearly an hour with traffic to get to the reception! We even still had time for bride and groom photos. :)

FAVORITE!

Huge thanks to Jessica of Eventfully Yours for making the day run perfectly! Kaitlyn and Eric, I hope you’re enjoying your Hawaiian honeymoon! :)

Fleming + Peter : Wedding Part II

Continued from Fleming and Peter’s Wedding Part I. :)

Fleming’s Mom was full of stories about Fleming’s childhood. My favorite was when she got a phone call from a neighbor telling her to come outside, there’s something she needed to see. Little Fleming was sticking her head out her bedroom window shouting, “This is Fleeemmmmmiiiiinnnng!! My mother has put me in time out for no reason!!! Someone help! Call 911!” over and over again. LOVE. :)

It was our first time shooting at Interlachen Country Club and we loved it!

Caught a sneeze. Sorry, Peter, but I love this one!!

My favorite thing about these two? They named their dog Sprocket! *Swoon!*

Their amazing band performed You Are the Best Thing for their first dance.

I’m recommending this to every couple from now on- So many times at receptions, our couples never get the chance to eat because there so many guests constantly coming up and congratulating, etc. Right after the toasts and parent dances, Fleming and Peter snuck off to a vacant ballroom and ate dinner together, just the two of them, then went back to join their guests. And seriously, this photo is just precious. :)

Fleming easily ties with Julie for danciest bride ever!

Love it!!!!

Each guest took home flowers.

Fleming’s parents have always called her “Bird,” so there were little bird nests hidden in the decor… Love it. :) Her sister’s nickname is “Termite,” so I’m even more curious to see how they work in details for that one! ;)

Fleming and Peter, we love you to the moon! Now get your cute butts to Nashville, pronto! :)
