Megan+Andy's Intercontinental Wedding

The Proposal: Megan and Andy got engaged on Andy’s birthday! The couple was having a nice dinner at home when Andy suddenly announced that he had a present for Megan. She was quite surprised since it was his birthday! When Megan opened up the present, she saw an engraved puppy collar and immediately knew that Andy had surrendered and agreed to get a puppy together! She was so excited about the prospect of getting a puppy that she did not see Andy get down on his knees. When she looked up, Andy was on his knees with a ring in his hand and he asked Megan to marry him. Not surprisingly, she said yes!

The Wedding: Megan started the day with getting ready at the InterContinental Hotel. Her makeup and hair were by Beauty on Call, gown by Victoria Sdoukos, and shoes by Stuart Weitzman. The Bridesmaids wore dresses from David's Bridal with accessories by Givenchy. The Groom and Groomsmen wore suits from Men's Warehouse.
Then it was time for the ceremony, and we headed to Old St. Patrick's Church where Megan and Andy exchanged vows. After church, we headed out on the town for photographs of the newlyweds and their wedding party. Hitting up the classic spots, Buckingham Fountain, the Board of Trade, and Michigan Ave. before heading back to the InterContinental for the reception. The florals were by Tiffany Schimmerling, video by Chicago Videoworks, Inc., wedding cake by Bittersweet, with entertainment provided by Stitely.
A great time was had by all.
Congrats Megan and Andy!

Alexa+Joshua's Drake Hotel Wedding

The Proposal: Josh proposed at the St. Regis Princeville in Kauai, Hawaii. He arranged for a table at the Makana Terrace overlooking Hanalei Bay and Makana Mountain. Just as the last part of the sun was setting behind the mountain, Josh turned to Alexa, got down on one knee and asked her to marry him, giving her a custom ring by Danhov.

The Wedding: Alexa and Joshua's festivities would revolve around the iconic Drake Hotel, where the couple would get ready, have their ceremony, and finally the reception. The day was planned by Audrey Gordon, with florals by Anthony Gowder Designs, and a sophisticated color theme of white, black, and gold. 
Alexa's makeup was by Rebekah Veen, hair by Ramsay Marston, gown by Badgley Mischka from Ultimate Bride, Kate Spade earrings, and Jimmy Choo heels. The couple had their first look outside, followed by photos of the whole wedding party. We got to photograph Alexa and Joshua in several beautiful spots inside the Drake, then it was time for their ceremony, where they finally got to tie the knot.  The reception that followed was rocking long into the night with entertainment by Stitely Entertainment, and delicious cake by Amy Beck.
Congrats Alexa and Joshua!
