Where do we start with these two?? How about the fact that when walked in the hotel room at the start of the day, we immediately felt like Sophia had been our bestie for years?? We were laughing and having fun from the start, and it’s a good thing too— because Friday the 13th tested us at every turn! Through every obstacle we faced: construction, traffic, rain, a bad tumble (thankfully everyone was okay!!), these two kept smiling and taking a step back to take in the big picture of their wedding day. We were so impressed by how they handled everything that came their way with grace and laughter, and kept the shining light of their love burning bright. It bodes well for their life together: they clearly will be tackling everything as a team. Which is what marriage is all about.

What bride doesn’t dream of wearing a beautiful gown on her wedding day?! Monica got to wear not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR gorgeous gowns! Jason and Monica’s day started with a traditional tea ceremony before Monica changed gowns for their first look. The bridal party then stopped at multiple stunning locations including Olive Park and the Art Institute for portraits around the city. The bride and groom then were lucky enough to have two ceremonies at the W Lakeshore Chicago! The first was a traditional thai ceremony where the couple received blessings from the guests. Next was a traditional American ceremony before the party continued! One of the highlights was definitely surprised Monica with his guitar and serenaded her! I just love the photos of her sweet reaction!
Congratulations you two and enjoy this sneak peek!

When I met with Yuman the first time, I knew that her wedding vision would be right up our alley! Not only was she the sweetest bride who was madly in love with her fiance Meng, but every beautiful detail of her wedding day had been carefully thought through. From her Oscar De la Renta gown to her “something blue” Manolo Blahnik heels to the INSANELY gorgeous bouquet to the hand calligraphed vows and invitations, it was all making us swoon! Every detail was perfectly executed by Manna Sun Events and Frontier Flowers of Fontana killed the flower game (per usual!) We are so excited to share these beautiful images!
Congratulations you two and thank you for letting us be a small piece of your dreamy wedding day!

My jaw dropped when I walked in to Jamie and Jose's ceremony and reception space at the Chicago Illuminating Company! For starter's Jamie's stunning bouquet from Life in Bloom was so lush and beautiful and her open-back gown with dramatic train was what dreams are made of! In the ceremony space, large geometric chandeliers hung beautifully, filled with florals and the chuppah was adorned with greenery and vines. Bliss Weddings perfectly executed on the couple's vision and it was truly a photographer's dream! My favorite part of their day was the multi-cultural element - vows and speeches were spoken in both Spanish and English and it was a beautiful and personal element that really married not only the couple, but their families.
Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek!

How's this for an absolutely stunning wedding?! Took me about 5 minutes to pick my jaw up off the floor when these film scans came in from Laura and Eric's wedding day! (But really though). Planned perfectly by Marquette Avenue Events, Laura and Eric's wedding at the Palmer House Hilton in downtown Chicago was straight out of a fairy tale.
