I find so much joy in helping couples celebrate their love, especially when those couples are so much in love. From the moment I met Perrin and Rick, they exuded romanticism and I knew that their wedding would be the most romantic event.

Perrin and Rick were planning an intimate wedding surrounding themselves with their closest family and friends, which included Rick’s two daughters. They were so darling at the wedding and truly happy for their dad! Perrin loved including them in the day and they all had a great time getting their hair done at Charles Ifergan Salon early in the afternoon.  Perrin then had some time alone to get into her stunning dress, all while Rick spent time with his buddies and daughters.

We had to coordinate the arrival times of both Perrin and Rick, as they chose not to see each other prior to the ceremony. They were both so excited for the day and could not wait to walk down the aisle! From the Processional to the First Dance, Justin from Studio Verite Photography captured all of the details and romantic moments of the day. I love how the streets of Chicago were captured in these photos of Perrin and Rick!

After the heartfelt ceremony at The Murphy Auditorium, everyone made their way to the foyer for the cocktail hour.  The room was flipped and Hall’s brought in all of the custom tables and chairs, while Frost provided more lighting to set the tone of the reception. Botanicals were outstanding in capturing Perrin and Rick’s vision and each centerpiece was a beautiful arrangement. Guests were treated to the culinary delights from Limelight Catering, such as Charred Corn & Shrimp Ceviche and Truffled Mac and Cheese, as well as dinner entrees of Beef Filet and Roasted Alaskan Halibut. After dinner, Perrin, Rick, and all of their guests hit the dance floor with The Nick Kitsos Band. No one wanted the night to end! Congratulations again to Perrin & Rick!
