Mark & Erin's River East Art Center Party!

We recently got to work with Erin and Mark for their wedding at River East Art Center. It's fun to work with fun loving clients and Mark and Erin were that to a T. They saw each other for the first time at The Ritz, where Erin had gotten ready, then it was off with just the bride and groom for pictures around Chicago. After we got some fun pictures with them it was time for their ceremony at Old St Pats. Between Erin's uncle being the officiant and having all 11 of their nieces and nephews in the wedding the ceremony was very special and unique. Once they were married it was off to River East Art Center where Larry King kept the party moving like Lionel Richie. ALL. NIGHT. LONG. 

A special thanks to Ali from Engaging Events by Ali and to Erin and Mark for including us in this special, special day!

Rebecca & Rob's Ritz Carlton Wedding

Rebecca and Rob had such an intimate, adorable wedding with so many personal details.  These two got married at the Ritz Carlton -- the same place Rebecca's parents were married many moons ago!  Their ceremony was beautiful and included a song performed by their loved ones.  The wedding was perfectly executed by Beth Bernstein of SQN Events and the decor by Fleur was absolutely stunning.  Instead of cake they did pie (yum!) and had a custom pie topper with a figurine of their happy family - pup included!  Their ceremony was a blast: more performances by family members and a great blend of the couple's Jewish and Latvian roots. 

Shayne and Jake's Ritz Carlton Wedding

Shayne and Jake had a fun-filled wedding.  After getting ready at the Ritz Carlton, we made our way to Holy Family for the couple to have their ceremony.  Their ceremony ended, and off we went to take photographs at some of Chicago's historic locations.  We then made our way to their reception back at the Ritz, where Incognito rocked the house all night long!  Shannon Gail planned the day - things went smoothly and everyone had a great time!

Jennifer & Michael

The wedding we have here was 14 years in the making. Jennifer and Michael met  in 1996 and have been dating ever since. We started out in the Ritz Carlton where they Jennifer and Michael got ready. We set up their first meeting of the day in a wonderful little park just across the street from the Ritz. The trees that shaded the park gave a refreshing respite from the heat, and made for terrific pictures. Then it was off to the awe inspiring Museum of Contemporary Art. This build was not only amazing for pictures, but held a special place in the hearts of both the bride and groom. The couple had met because of this build (Michael is a chief executive of We O'niel, the company that constructed the museum), and had many stories about it that made it dear to them. After a wonderful ceremony in the courtyard of the MCA, the guests retreated inside the beautifully decorated museum to enjoy dinner and a casual evening of socializing and dancing. Of course it all went off perfectly because we had the steady hand of Ali Phillips of Engaging Events by Ali to keep things in order. We had so much fun and wish Jennifer and Michael all the best! Thanks for letting us be apart of your special day!
