Last weekend I shot the. most. beautiful. wedding out in Libertyville! Heather’s family aren’t quite relatives of ours but over the past few years in Chicago they’ve become like family to Jamie and I (and we share a mutual aunt and uncle, so we might as well be family, right??). I had an impossible time deciding which images to share today, because I didn’t want to leave anything out…here are just a few favorites from the wedding day:
Heather’s dress was made by British designer Sassi Holford. Not only a stunning gown, but absolutely the perfect dress for Heather!Heather…you belong in a magazine! I could have filled an entire blog post with photos of you. For real.I have never photographed such an expressive bride…I think every bride should feel like this when they put their dress on:
The first look took place at the same little park where David proposed!This necklace (later pinned to Heather’s bouquet) and matching earrings are a family heirloom that belonged to David’s mother, who sadly passed away last year. Heather wore the jewelry as a reminder of her.Lookin’ sharp, David! I really love this wedding party shot! The adorable ring bearer and flower girl are David & Heather’s niece and nephew…so cute!
The wedding ceremony took place at the church in Libertyville where Heather grew up attending.After the ceremony we headed to the brand new tent ballroom at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort…beautiful! The florals were done by Joseph’s Florist and everything was perfect.Heather’s dad gave the most thoughtful, meaningful speech and had the whole place in tears…including me. Thanks a lot, Paul…its hard to shoot when you can’t see through the lens!
These cupcakes (which taste even better than they look!) are from Lovin’ Oven Cakery.David & Heather danced to You Are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne, they were pretty impressive twirling all over the dance floor. I’d have to take years of lessons to look half that good out there!
Love this one!I’ve witnessed some pretty awesome wedding dances this season, and this one definitely tops the list. I caught myself grinning at the end of a 12 hour day because it was so much fun to watch & capture it. And, that is why I love my job!David & Heather, it truly was a fairy tale kind of day and I was privileged to be a part of it! Congratulations again, I wish you both all the best and can’t wait to see where life together takes you.
