CEREMONY: ST. JAMES CHAPEL | RECEPTION: THE NEWBERRY LIBRARY | PHOTOGRAPHY: INK RINGS | CATERING: SIMPLY ELEGANT CATERING | CAKE: VANILLE PATISSERIE | VIDEO: BELLA PHOTO + VIDEO | FLORALS AND DECOR: LIFE IN BLOOM | BAND: DAVID ROTHSTEIN MUSIC

This absolutely stunning couple had the most beautiful day in September! Rain threatened all week, but we are having some amazing luck with Mother Nature this year. An emotional ceremony at the St. James Chapel was followed by dinner and dancing at the Newberry Library, and led by David Rothstein Band, the dance floor was packed from start to finish! As a super sweet touch, their families snapped a couple of photos at the ceremony, went to Walgreens, had them printed and framed, and they joined the bevy of family wedding photos displayed at the reception. We loved that!

We had such a wonderful time with these two sweethearts. Christi and Rob, we know you are going to have a long and happy life together! Cheers!

This Indian and Jewish fusion wedding was incredible! The ceremony had both Indian and Jewish elements, which made for a beautiful union. This super cute couple had a blast from the Baraat to the very last dance! Neha's vision and ridiculously organized decor boxes made our job incredibly easy, and she walked in to a conch shell sounding! What a cool, adorable couple, and a wonderful day. Congratulations, Neha and Matt! We hope you have an incredible life together!

What an absolutely gorgeous couple. Look. At. These. Smiles. It's a long one, because we couldn't get enough! We had such a wonderful time with Jess + Jason on their big day! She was radiant, he was handsome, the ceremony was so emotional, and the love in the room was exquisite! There was breakfast-for-dinner which was enjoyed by everyone, and we capped the night off with a whole lot of dancing. It was an absolutely fabulous event for two wonderful people.

Congratulations, Jess + Jason! We wish you all the happiness in the world!
