Autumn Wedding at City Winery

Despite busy careers, Sarah and Elliott found each other, fell in love, and even made time to enjoy a wonderful honeymoon in Hawaii. A Fellow in developmental and behavioral pediatrics at the University of Chicago, Sarah has provided medical care in India, Africa, Haiti, and Nicaragua. Elliott is an accomplished civil and criminal attorney in the Office of the Chief Judge with the Circuit Court of Cook County. He's also an Adjunct Professor at the DePaul University College of Law. Both are Chicago treasures, and it was an honor to play a part in their joyous October wedding at Chicago's City Winery. The day was filled with love, laughter, and dancing. We adored the colors in Sarah's bouquet and the romantic candlelit aisle at the ceremony. See more at Steve Koo Photography. Congatulations Sarah and Elliott, and thanks for all you do for our city!

Colorful Autumn Wedding and Reception

Amy and Mike's Autumn wedding palette combined deep reds, purples, burgundy, chocolate, and black with antique gold and silver accents.  From the ceremony bathed in golden light at Wicker Park Lutheran Church to the romantic candlelight dinner reception at The Ivy Room, every detail was stunning.  Captured by Steve Koo Photograpy and featured on Style Unveiled, Amy's bridal bouquet featured deep red roses, garden roses, scabiosa, red sedum, deep purple dahlias, and burgundy ranunculus.  Other fresh flowers and foliages throughout the event included cymbidium orchids, red peppercorn, curly willow, viburnum berries, hanging amaranthus, antique green hyrdrangea, spray roses, and purple trachelium.  Congratulations, Amy and Mike!  Thanks for letting us be a part of your very special day.

A Pretty Wedding Affair at Spiaggia

I just love intimate weddings at Spiaggia. The location on the corner of Michigan Ave. and Oak St. can't be beat.  The view of the magnificent mile and Lake Michigan is such a stunning backdrop for a ceremony! Plus, one of Spiaggia's famous chef's, Sarah Grueneberg, competing for the title of "Top Chef" is still in the running on the hit Bravo tv show. What more can you ask for in a reception location?

Our bride, Jenny wanted each of her attendants to carry their own unique bouquet in their own color palette. The outcome was just beautiful. Then she carried a colorful bouquet of all of the flowers carried by each of her attendants. Here are a few photos captured by the incredibly talented Steve Koo. Enjoy!!

Galleria Marchetti Wedding: Bertha and Nick

Today's post features beautiful photos from an energetic and vibrant wedding we produced at Galleria Marchetti a short while ago.

One picture in particular put a smile on my face (see if you can guess which one it was...).
