Shanna + Andrew have a lightness and laughter in their relationship that is just infectious. It was such an honor to plan their wedding alongside them – can’t believe it’s been a year!  They had big dreams when it came to their wedding, and Chicago’s Field Museum was the perfect backdrop for their elegant evening. We worked together for the better part of the year bringing their gorgeous white, green, and blue vision to life, thanks to the brilliant Kehoe Designs. The result was a lush, grand, yet inviting summer Chicago day for these lovebirds. You have to see the incredible ceremony site and dinner in the Field Museum is pure magic!!  Huge thank you to Tim Tab for capturing their day so beautifully. 

Happy first anniversary to Shanna + Andrew!  xo Olivia

Carrie + Will and I clicked right away. I met with them and Carrie’s mom after booking, and after the meeting, I just thought – “this is going to be fun”.  They are a fun-loving, kind, and warm pair (and it doesn’t hurt that every meeting at their cozy condo included their tiny pup, Tito!!) and it was an immense pleasure to support their wedding day dreams. 

Carrie grew up going to the University Club with her dad and so it seemed natural to host her wedding ceremony and reception in the stunning Cathedral Hall (doesn’t hurt that it looks a bit like Hogwarts!). Their ceremony was officiated by a friend and it was breathtaking.  The joy and love between these two made the entire room shimmer. The rest of the day was carried along by that wave of love, and the dance floor was a HIGHLIGHT. When both mom and daughter are named Caroline.. You can imagine the energy in the room when Rush Street Rhythm played “Sweet Caroline”.  WOW.  It is a night I remember with so much joy! 

Happy first anniversary to Carrie + Will!  xo Olivia

When I first met Casey and Robert, we just clicked right away.  There is something effortless about their connection to one another and I was drawn to it from our first meeting.  After getting to know them more, I learned so much about their relationship and the life they’ve built together - they’ve really “got a good thing going”. 

Producing their wedding was such a joy.  It was a colorful, joyful occasion coupled with an incredibly moving ceremony.  They got married at the incredible Morgan’s on Fulton - a rooftop oasis in the heart of Fulton Market.  The MoF team is just the best, and with the help of a vendor DREAM TEAM, the day was absolutely perfect. From a moving first look, to an intimate ceremony; rousing speeches and a packed dance floor, Casey + Robert were celebrated right.  It’s been a year since their gorgeous MDW wedding - I just can’t believe it. 

Happy anniversary, Casey + Robert! xo, Olivia
