Kathleen + Connor: Cheerful, Sweet, Sentimental, Chicago Wedding

Kathleen and Connor are high school sweethearts and have been together for over 15 years! So their big day was filled with nostalgia and lots and lots of love.

When they first met, Connor thought Kathleen was so cool for wearing a Motion City Soundtrack sweatshirt and the two quickly bonded over their love for the same type of music. As someone who is also a big Motion City Soundtrack fan, I knew they were going to be a fun couple! Needless to say their wedding day exceeded that expectation and it was so fun seeing them celebrated by all their loved ones.

Cheers to one year of marraige, K + C! - Kirsten

Kelsey + Michael: Joyful, Colorful, Fall Wedding

Kelsey + Michael are the type of couple you just want the best for - they are kind and a whole lot of fun, and bringing their wedding vision to life felt effortless. They got married on a foggy October afternoon at The Arbory and they leaned into bold fall colors with lush floral by Romee Willow Florals, some chic tabletop rentals and Michael’s custom plum suit by 9Tailors paired with a floral tie (!).

They had a relatively small wedding of 60 of their closest friends and family, but I remember distinctly that they were the most FUN group I’ve ever seen - the dance floor was chock full of energy (it helps that Michael and his sister are former dancers!) until the very last second. What a night.

Happy first anniversary to Kelsey + Michael! xo Olivia

Pria + Chris: Cheerful, Sunny, Lakefront Chicago Wedding

If there was ever a true testament to true love it is Pria and Chris. Pria + Chris are not only high school sweethearts but middle school sweethearts as well. They started dating in the 7th grade and have been together for more than half of their lives. After graduating from Walter Payton Prep in the city, Pria headed to UCLA and Chris went to Vanderbilt. After college, Chris went into the Marines and Pria stayed in California to get her PhD. The two wed on a perfect crisp October day full of sunshine and blue skies.

Cheers to Pria + Chris! -Kirsten
