Cassidy and Brad met online and went on their first date at Arlington Ale House. Last summer Cassidy and Brad got married in front of their closest family and friends at St. James in Arlington Heights. Conrad was there to photograph their sweet backyard celebration in 2020 and was happy to see them again this year to be a part of their long-awaited celebration!
Cassidy wanted their 2021 event to be a relaxing celebration, they had patiently waited so long for the chance to party with their family and friends! After she got ready at home with Brad sweetly helping her, they loaded up onto a gorgeous white trolley with their wedding party and headed back to St. James. Cassidy and Brad renewed their vows and were able to take some mask-free photos at St. James before heading out to Recreation Park to capture pics of their wedding party in downtown Arlington Heights. Finally everyone made their way to The Metropolis Ballroom for a perfect wedding reception – it was the best day, a great reminder that good things come to those who wait!
Congratulations, Cassidy and Brad, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Marissa & Nick (and Peyton’s!) Westin Chicago Northwest Vow Renewal
In April 2021, Marissa and Nick welcomed their beautiful baby girl Peyton. We were thankful to meet sweet Peyton at her Lifestyle Newborn Session at their home, she is just the sweetest baby girl! After her arrival Marissa and Nick knew their 2021 wedding plans would shift once more…
Marissa and Nick met through her cousin (and maid of honor) Danielle, but when they were first introduced Marissa wasn’t very fond of Nick. He persisted and kept asking her out. Once Marissa finally caved and agreed to go out with Nick she had THE best date ever, and the rest is history!
As Marissa and Nick planned their dream wedding they had no idea that Covid was coming and would change everything. While they had to postpone their celebration Marissa and Nick still chose to be married in 2020 in front of family at St. James in Arlington Heights. Their Catholic ceremony was a beautiful celebration of their love and the first step toward their future together as husband and wife.
In April 2021, Marissa and Nick welcomed their beautiful baby girl Peyton. We were thankful to meet sweet Peyton at her Lifestyle Newborn Session at their home, she is just the sweetest baby girl! After her arrival Marissa and Nick knew their 2021 wedding plans would shift once more, and they decided to baptize Peyton during their vow renewal ceremony. It was the first time that St. James Parish in Arlington Heights celebrated both a vow renewal AND a baptism during the same ceremony! It was a beautiful moment watching Marissa walk down the aisle in her wedding dress with Nick holding their daughter. He was beaming with pride; together they have created such an adorable and joyful family!
After the ceremony we converged at the Westin Chicago Northwest for a great big celebration. Marissa comes from a large and well-connected family, it was really fun to see a lot of people we knew at their reception! It was the perfect night celebrating an amazing couple!
Congratulations, Marissa and Nick (and Peyton!), we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
