Jackie and Brian were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend. They met for drinks and bonded over Aurelio’s pizza and things just kept going from there! When Conrad met Jackie and Brian at the museum campus downtown for their engagement session they made sure to bring along an Aurelio’s pizza to share! We just love when couples include those personal details in their engagement sessions!

Jackie and Brian are so cute together, he is totally smitten with her. Their wedding day was so beautiful and perfect – from the moment that Conrad and Lindsay arrived everything ran smoothly and everyone had such great energy. The bridesmaids looked SO good thanks to the talented Rosie Hunter Artistry, these girls rocked their rust colored bridesmaid dresses and were so supportive throughout the day. The florals by Blue Daisy Floral Design were stunning, absolutely perfect for this early-fall wedding. Our great friend Ken of Amp Event Professionals had the dance floor packed for the perfect party at the end of the night. It was such a great day, we are thankful to have been a part of it.

Congratulations, Jackie and Brian, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Sarah and Dean’s Long-Awaited Makray Wedding Reception

Sarah and Dean met at the University of Illinois (her parents and sister also fell in love at U of I, and, fun fact, I met my husband there too!) Their original wedding date was scheduled for 4/18/2020, making Sarah and Dean one of our first “Covid couples.” In the end, When the Shelter in Place order was issued, Sarah and Dean moved their Spring ‘20 Makray Memorial Golf Club wedding to December – at the time we all assumed that we would be in the clear by then. Well, of course the pandemic had other plans for all of us. As things became more complicated Sarah and Dean decided to get married at Holy Family in Inverness and celebrate a very small micro wedding in her parents’ backyard. They then rescheduled their Makray reception for September 11, 2021.

After riding the emotional roller coaster of planning and replanning their wedding, Sarah and Dean were very ready to FINALLY celebrate with their friends and family this fall. We were happy to see Sarah and Dean (and their immediate families) again, and it was so great to finally meet all of their friends and family! Following a beautiful vow renewal ceremony at Holy Family we to Makray for pictures and their long-awaited celebration. There were plenty of nods to the U of I throughout the day – the navy bridesmaids’ dresses with orange sprinkled throughout their beautiful bouquets, an emotional rendition of the Alma Mater during dinner, and of course, masks with the U of I logo on them. It was a perfect day and one we won’t soon forget.
