Nicole & Roger’s Perfect Seven Bridges Golf Club Wedding

Nicole and Roger’s story started out as most modern love stories do. . . on the internet. In Spring of 2019 they matched on Hinge. Due to Roger “not mixing work with personal life” they unmatched after three messages. Then, in September of that same year, Nicole got into a minor fender bender in Berwyn and Roger was there in full firefighter gear to save the day. They both noticed the other, but chose to not mention the infamous Hinge fail. Then in October, Nicole came across Roger on Bumble, and decided to swipe right yet again. This time, it ended with drinks at Imperial Oak on October 29, and the rest they say is history! Then, on July 19, 2023 after a great day of exploring Door County, Nicole and Roger got engaged!

From the moment I met Nicole and Roger at our Studio I knew that these two were meant to be together. I loved getting to know them better at their engagement session last Fall – they are just so easy to be around and so comfortable with one another, it was truly a joy to take their pictures! These two are honestly just perfect together, being around them makes me believe in true love. Conrad and Ryan and I were beyond excited to celebrate their wedding with them this August at Seven Bridges Golf Club!

When we arrived at Nicole’s childhood home to take pictures of the girls getting ready we were greeted by so much joy, and Nicole was absolutely glowing. Nicole had a sweet “first look” with her Dad on the staircase at their home (I just LOVE a good staircase moment) and then we made our way to Seven Bridges for things to really get started. We took some pictures of the girls on the course before moving them back inside and swapping out for Roger and the guys. When I saw Roger for the first time that day I told him how gorgeous Nicole looked and he couldn’t hold back his emotions. It was honestly one of the sweetest moments I have ever shared with a groom, the way he loves her is so beautiful. As the ceremony began Roger had his back turned to the building and turned around just as Nicole reached the end of the aisle, his reaction to seeing his bride was so emotional and perfect. After their sweet ceremony we snuck off with Nicole and Roger for some pretty golden photos before the reception began. Once Nicole and Roger were introduced to their cheering guests it really felt like a party – we loved hearing each toast and clinking our glasses along with the newlyweds’ friends and family to get them to kiss. After gobbling up THE most delicious donuts we have ever had from DeEtta’s Bakery the dance floor opened and everyone rushed to party, it was honestly just the best night. We would do it all over again if we could, sending so much love and gratitude to this wonderful couple!!

Congratulations, Nicole and Roger, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Elise & Garret’s Sweet Seven Bridges Golf Club Wedding

Elise and Garret in summer of 2017 playing for a recreational soccer league in Chicago. Their first date was mini golfing and a drink at a bar on a Sunday afternoon. They officially started dating later that year and moved in together . . .

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!
