Wow, what a trip down memory lane. I worked with Jen + Jesse during COVID to plan their May 2021 wedding and they were a dream: calm, flexible, and just plain happy to get married. They chose the glorious Morgan’s on Fulton for it’s rooftop, just in time for the venue to install a fabulous glass enclosure that could be opened / closed as needed. We were the first wedding in the new space — what a joy to see it all come together! Due to COVID restrictions, they chose to welcome their guests to the rooftop for their ceremony, with each guest finding their dining seat to watch to ceremony. They had spectacular floral, delicious food, and such a loving group of people surrounding them. Although it’s been over a year and a half since their wedding, I look back on it fondly — this was, and is, a couple worth celebrating.

Congratulations to the Condies! - Olivia

When COVID hit, Lauren + Peter quickly reimagined their wedding day.  They already had The Joinery booked and were planning a June 2020 wedding, but as time went on and COVID lingered, they decided to move their date to fall 2021 and get creative with the typical wedding routine. They got married by a friend before traveling to Chicago to celebrate and hosted a weekend full of events.  The weekend culminated with a Sunday daytime event with a limited guest count, opting for speeches on the patio, lunch served by Big Delicious Planet on feasting tables in the middle of the room, and a fun floral workshop led by Brian of Fleur.  It was a picturesque September day full of sunshine and warm breezes, and although it wasn’t the couple’s original vision, it was beautiful and just so relaxed.

Huge congratulations to the Brodys! - Olivia

Patty + Mark are one of those couples that are just meant to be. There is a quiet, kind, and deep love between these two. But, it is clear that they also know how to have an incredibly good time! Their wedding day, just a year ago, was on a cozy December day in Chicago, full of rich colors, a dreamy first look, moving tears, and a surprise band appearance by Patty’s dad at their reception. The day was made extra special when much of Mark’s large Irish family, who he hadn’t seen in over a year, traveled to Chicago to be with Patty + Mark on their wedding day. It was a pleasure to work with them and a dream team of vendors, and I am just so happy to relive their wedding day through these images!

Congrats to the Boyles! - Olivia
