Elise & Garret’s Sweet Seven Bridges Golf Club Wedding

Dec 2

Elise and Garret met in the Summer of 2017 playing for a recreational soccer league in Chicago. Their first date was mini golfing and a drink at a bar, they officially started dating in September. As their love grew they moved in together in January of 2020. Garret proposed at the Naperville river walk; it was a rainy day but Elise still agreed to go on a walk with him that ended in a proposal!

Conrad and I were so happy to join Elise and Garret and their friends and family to celebrate their wedding this Fall. When we arrived at Elise’s parents’ home everyone was in great spirits and Elise looked absolutely beautiful. She had held onto a little receipt that Garret first wrote “Love You!” on, I love discovering special mementos when photographing details before a wedding!! After Elise got into her gorgeous gown she did the sweetest reveal with her bridesmaids just before an adorable “first look” with her Dad.

Once everyone was ready we went together to St. Mary’s Catholic church in Mokena. What a gorgeous church for a traditional wedding ceremony! Ashley joined us for the ceremony so that Conrad could capture video for Elise and Garret, she took some beautiful photos of the church. Garret seemed a bit nervous and fought back a few tears as the ceremony started but once he saw Elise walk down the aisle with her Dad he could not keep his eyes off her for the rest of the day.

After their ceremony we moved to the beautiful Seven Bridges Golf Club. We had the best time photographing Elise and Garret’s wedding party, everyone was so kind and in such great spirits! The weather was lovely, it was the perfect Fall day for a wedding at one of our favorite country clubs! We were honored to be alongside Elise and Garret as they started their married lives together!
