Pam and John’s Long-Awaited Celebration

Pam and John were married last March in front of their parents at their church Aurora. It was a lovely intimate celebration of their love, it was an honor for us to be there along with their parents. But after patiently waiting for the pandemic to run it’s course…

Pam and John were married last March in front of their parents at Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Aurora. It was a lovely intimate celebration of their love, it was an honor for us to be there along with their parents (and other guests over Zoom!)

After patiently waiting for the pandemic to run it’s course, Pam and John were ready to PARTY with their guests. This March, Pam and John were finally able to fully celebrate their marriage along with their family and friends. It was SO worth the wait, we had the most wonderful time celebrating with everyone! We gathered together at Hoosier Grove Barn, a beautiful rustic space in Streamwood IL. Pam had chosen a new dress for the party, it was fun to photograph that dress while she finished getting ready with her bridesmaids. Pam and John’s first look was surprisingly so sweet and emotional (considering these two had already been married for a year!) We had the best time photographing these two and their loved ones, before the reception kicked off. After cutting their Nothing Bundt Cake and listening to emotional toasts in their honor Pam and John took to the dance floor and didn’t leave for the rest of the night. It was the perfect party, everyone had such an amazing time!!

Congratulations, Pam and John, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Cassidy & Brad’s Wedding Reception

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!

Stephanie & Devin’s Seville Vow Renewal (and Pregnancy Announcement!)

We were originally scheduled to photograph Stephanie and Devin’s wedding the summer of 2020, but like so many of our Something Blue couples their plans had to change in light of the pandemic. Stephanie and Devin tied the knot last summer in Arizona, and this July they returned back to Illinois to celebrate along with their family and friends at The Seville in Streamwood. We were excited to be a part of their celebration this year, but even more excited when we heard the news that Stephanie is expecting!! And that they planned to make the announcement during their reception! It was such an exciting and sweet moment when Stephanie pulled out her ultrasound pictures during dinner, the whole room went wild cheering for this sweet couple! It was a perfect day, we were so thankful to be a part of it!
