wedding - Chicago, IL

This Chicago wedding was fabulous for so many reasons :) #1: Jade and Simon are awesome. #2: a glorious sun-drenched day. #3: the city of Chicago. #4: a perfect backyard wedding. #5: peacock feathers. #6: gorgeous, vintage details. #7: some lovely, lovely people. I could go on, but I think you get it. Bottom line: We loved today. :)

Jade's dress, hanging in their penthouse hotel room :)

Some rockin' shoes. :)

And one beautiful bride. :)

Simon met Jade in her hotel room for their first look :) Have we mentioned how much we love these? :)

Bridal party + bridge = :)

We love, loved these dresses :)

And these amazing suits from Express. (PS - LOVE the boat shoes :) )

A favorite :) We are so lucky to work with such beautiful people :)

Random field(?) downtown!? Whatever it is, we loved. :)

Then! We headed into Barrington for the ceremony in Simon's parents' backyard.

Maybe our favorite photo that we've taken this year :)

The perfect kiss :)

Jade & Simon - thank you, thank you, thank you! for having us today. The love you have for one another is completely contagious and we can just tell that you two will be married a long, long time. :) We think the world of you both and hope you have a lovely life together. We are blessed to know you :) xoxo, A+A

JULY 10, 2010
wedding - Nappanee, IN

Hi there :) Megan & Brent have such genuine, caring spirits. They were endlessly kind to everyone involved and kept us smiling to the very end. We'll start you off with some pretty details from the day :)

:)

One of the most beautiful dresses we've seen this year :)

Empty pews quietly anticipating a moment to happen :)

A first look :) (The empty pews are smiling :) )

Speaking of smiling, have you ever seen a happier bride? We haven't :)

We love these next two. :)

And jump :)

Mr. and Mrs!

Instead of bubbles/rice/sparklers, Megan & Brent had a balloon release :)

So fun :)

Lovely ladies :)

Lovely light :)

Reception!

Favorite.

Megan & Brent, we adore you! You two were so incredibly kind and patient with us the entire day. Thanks for the bottles of water, the laughter, and for being so sincere and genuine with us and with each other. We truly enjoyed today. :) Happy marriage! xoxo, A+A
