Danielle & Peter’s Pretty River Forest Country Club Wedding

Nov 18

Danielle and Peter met their sophomore year at Illinois State University; their roommates were dating and this friendship quickly blossomed into something more. They went ice skating on their first date; years later when Peter wanted to propose he invited Danielle to go ice skating with him again but she turned down the invitation, leaving poor Peter to wait another week to pop the question!

I loved getting to know Danielle and Peter (and their adorable dog Archie) at their engagement session in Lincoln Park last summer. They are just so kind and relatable, and clearly made for one another.

On their wedding day, Danielle got ready with her bridesmaids at her childhood home. As a surprise, the girls all wrote sweet notes on the bottom of Danielle’s bridal shoes, loving words to carry her through her wedding day. Danielle’s Dad walked her down the block to St. Raymond’s for their traditional Catholic ceremony. After they were pronounced husband and wife Danielle and Peter exited to rousing cheers from their family and friends and were greeted outside by Archie, the goodest boy who was SO happy for his Mom and Dad!

When we arrived at River Forest Country Club everyone was ready to celebrate the newlyweds! After a delicious meal EVERYONE got up and danced along with the amazing Wedding Banned, honestly THE best wedding band EVER! It was a perfect night for the perfect couple, we were so happy to be a part of this wedding!
