Bonphotage - Surprise Proposal - Peninsula Hotel Chicago - Dean + Paige

Dean was so sweet when he called and asked us to capture his proposal to his girlfriend of five years, Paige! 

A true romantic, Dean did not skimp on a single detail..we're talking..taking Paige shopping on Michigan Avenue during the day and buying her a gorgeous dress and Valentino heels, privatizing the roof deck of the Peninsula hotel in downtown Chicago, hiring the unbelievably talented Kehoe designs (rose petals, moss wall - the real deal!) and then surprising his love with a STUNNING engagement ring! 

The whole scene was something dreams are made of and we are honored to have captured their beautiful day!

Bonphotage - Caitlin + Dennis - Intercontinental Hotel Chicago

Caitlin looked absolutely radiant as she walked down to the aisle to meet her soon-to-be husband Dennis! Caitlin was dressed in a lace, mermaid style, strapless gown while her bridesmaids wore navy blue gowns. Mother's of the bride and groom wore royal blue and purple and these rich jewel tones played across other details of the wedding as well, including the beautiful florals. 

The couple was married surrounded by their family and friends in their hometown church. They then took a limo (where the party definitely began!) on the way to the Grand Ballroom at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Chicago. Tears were shed, laughs were had and dancing continued into the night!

Congratulations Caitlin and Dennis - we are honored to have captured photos and video of your cherished day!
