Real Wedding: Julia and Brandon

Julia and Brandon were married in August 2008 at the New Life Community Church in Lincoln Park. They held their reception at the Hotel Sax.



Julia’s mom, Barb, actually hired me as the coordinator. The bride and groom now live in Chicago and had a significant number of out of town guests. Barb and Julia were both very organized but were looking for someone to handle any last-minute details on the day of the wedding.

Julia and Brandon shared a private moment before guests began arriving. Here they are seeing one another for the first time in the chapel.





This may be my favorite shot of the whole day. I love how it looks as if they are on the front steps of their new home, ready to start their life together.





Julia and her mom just before walking down the aisle. Mom was such a sweetheart!






The church was beautifully lit by the stained glass on a sunny day.




The beaming bridal party departing on a classic trolley.

Looks like they are having a great time!

Look for another post tomorrow highlighting personal touches.
