Read MoreWhat 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!

Read MoreMy 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.
