It is such an honor to be asked to be from someone who is in the wedding and events industry. Caitlin is a wedding photographer that used to be an event planner! I was thrilled to be apart of her wedding to Adam. Her eye for design and detail is impeccable.

On a sunny July day, Caitlin and Adam tied the knot at a beautiful Catholic wedding but not before the Veil Incident. As Caitlin and Adam were having their first look on a rooftop, Caitlin’s veil blew off and landed on a neighboring rooftop. The building security would not be persuaded by charm or dollars. Luckily, the bridal salon had the same veil in stock and delivered the back up to the church.

Rebecca + Adam’s Modern Wing Reception

I always love that my career let’s me be an integral part of a couple’s wedding day. However, some weddings are closer to me than others. When the wedding is one of your coordinators, it really feels special.

Rebecca and Adam were married at St. James Chapel and hosted their reception in the Griffin Court at the Art Institute Chicago. Rebecca wanted a classic bride look ala Grace Kelly with long sleeves and lace but the station style wedding was completely modern. Rebecca has been with Honey Bee Weddings for four years and used great cast of vendors. The color palette was white, gold and black– the bricks of gold on the bar were divine.

Tana and Ben were such a fun couple, and I’m so glad that I got to be an integral part of their special day! Everything about the day was beautiful, from the warm design from Kehoe, to the spectacular sweets table from Calihan Catering! And of course JPP Studios did a fantastic job documenting the entire day, as always.

After everyone got spiffed up and traveled around the city for bridal party photos, it was time for the ceremony… and then the party, of course!

Tana and Ben had a show-stoppingly beautiful wedding, and they had enough fun to match! It was a fantastic night for all, filled with dancing, excitement, and love.
