Before their wedding day, Jenny & Skyler made a trip up to visit us at our studio and we had the best time chatting all things wedding with them!! They have such great energy, and we loved the mindset they have surrounding their wedding. In addition to their love and marriage, the two biggest focuses of their planning were family and food – our kind of people! Together, they planned a day that loved one every one of their guests and treated everyone to a beautiful & delicious celebration at the Grain Exchange.
Jenny and Skyler also incorporated special touches throughout their wedding day –– Jenny’s mom was her Matron of Honor, and Skyler honored his Filipino heritage by wearing a traditional Hawaiian “Maile lei” draped over his shoulders. Following their heartfelt ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour while Jenny and Skyler had portraits with their loved ones. Guests were then invited back into the reception space which had been meticulously transformed into a classic celebration with soft florals and the glow of countless candles! The room was soon filled with laughter, delicious food coming out course after course, and so many sweet moments shared between Jenny and Skyler!
We are so thankful to have been part of this wonderful couple’s celebration and absolutely loved getting to know them and their families!

Everywhere we turned we found beautiful, meaningful, and timeless. Sarah & Jeff planned a wedding day that was perfectly thought out for not just them, but also for all of their guests who were flying in from around the country. Of course, there's not much you can do when smoke fills the sky in Chicago and guests must scramble, reroute their flights, and find any form of transportation possible to be there for Sarah & Jeff's wedding. Most made it in time to see the I do's and, for the few who weren't able to make it, we hope these photographs are able to tell enough of the wonderful story that was their wedding day.
