First Look on the 1st : Erin + Rick

November 1, 2011 by Jensey 1 Comment

Sent to us from past couple Erin and Rick :

As many other couples, we originally chose to do a first look for practicality. As our wedding day approached we realized how important it was for us to have great photos throughout our day. We knew the day would fly by once we were ready to go and the first look was our chance to take a few moments before the busyness of the day began. We were able to chat about the little details of the big day ahead.

From Erin’s point of view: “There was one thing I was sure about, that I didn’t want to cry in front of everyone during the ceremony. I wanted to be able to focus on our vows and not worry how I looked to the guests or cameras.”

From Rick’s point of view: “As much of our day was nontraditional in nature, the first look was our chance to get nervousness out of the way.”

Looking back we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We hope other couples choose to do a first look so they are able to take advantage of this experience they won’t soon forget.

Laurie + David : Wedding Part II

October 26, 2011 by Jensey 5 Comments

Continued from Laurie and David’s Wedding Part I.

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a more gorgeous ballroom than the Elysian’s.

While they were transitioning the ceremony site into the reception hall,  Raina practiced throwing her bouquet. :)

*Seriously* magical. I mean… Seriously. :)

Oh, hello there. :)

Their choreographed first dance was to “A Whole New World.”

David and Rayna did the sweetest father daughter dance to “Isn’t She Lovely.”

Flower girl power. :)

The evening ended with Laurie serenading David… So perfect. :) Laurie and David, thank you so much for bringing us to Chicago!

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.
