Brittany + Will: Breathtaking, Loving, Family-oriented Chicago Wedding

If there were ever two people who were meant to be it would be Brittany and Will. Brittany and Will are high school sweethearts who have been together for nearly a decade. They grew up together, went away to school together, and came back to Chicago together to start their professional careers. At their rehearsal, Will told me that he originally had the intention of proposing in March of 2020 and since that wasn’t feasible, he proposed the first chance he could in Summer 2020. Their wedding was a family affair and their wedding party included Will’s six sisters, their significant others, Brittany’s brother, and cousins who felt more like siblings. To say the day was magical is an understatement and I am so happy I was able to be a part of it.

Anisha + Spencer: Cultural, Colorful, Lively Westchester, NY Wedding

Gosh, I can’t believe this joyful day was already a year ago. Anisha + Spencer are college friends of mine, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with them for a few years (thanks, COVID!) to plan their spectacular wedding weekend in Westchester, NY. Anisha + Spencer wanted to fuse their cultures together so they were wed by an Indian Pandit and Protestant Priest, while she wore a traditional lehenga and he donned a spiffy white suit. We continued this theme during their reception by bringing together together an Indian caterer and DJ, Moghul and BWD Entertainment, to complement Greentree Country Club’s fantastic catering and Hyde Park Band. It was a fun, colorful, and perfect sunny Saturday last July. It’s such a joy to relive this day through Salwa Photography’s images — it really was magical. BUT, before we even got to the wedding on Saturday, Anisha + Spencer kicked off the weekend with a traditional Indian Mehndi hosted by Spencer’s parents on Thursday and a lively Sangeet on Friday night. Photos and more about those at the end of the post. Enjoy!
