shoot a wedding for two of the most beautiful, friendly, fun and amazing people on the planet?? yes please!!

we’ve already gushed about how amazing andy + stacie are on their engagement blog post, so we don’t want to overdo it here so let me tell the story of their perfect day!!

when we arrived at the church, stacie practically ran us over as she welcomed us with the biggest hug and smile you can imagine. (someone was a little excited i think!!!) she then proceeded to introduce us to everyone, give us a tour of the stunning church, offer us lunch…. this bride was SOOOO excited about every moment of her wedding day!! and she had so much reason to be. from our first moment we stacie, we knew that everything was going to be perfect. and it was.

meanwhile, the guys walked from the amway grand to park congregational church strutting their style, taking only a moment’s pause to tour the GRPD swat vehicles (randomly parked along the way) and pose for a lineup shot as andy faked being arrested. then they tailgated outside the church till it was time to get inside and get married. they were cool. calm. did i say cool?!

following the picture perfect ceremony in this sanctuary that we’d love to shoot any day of the week, the whole party exited in the horse drawn carriage of horse drawn carriages. we’re talking party bus size here people…minus the neon lights of course!!! and though the rain held off for the party pictures, the drizzle started just as we were headed to do the bride and groom shots. now, one might think this would be an occasion to play it safe and look for cover…. NOT A CHANCE!! we had found our new favorite GR vintage location for shooting just the day before and andy + stacie were totally game, rain or shine. have we mentioned how much we love these two?!

their perfect day capped off with a stunning reception at the amway grand. jawdropping details. fall apart filet mignon (yes please). a party at our photobooth…and a packed dance floor all night long!!!

andy + stacie…you never stop doing it right. and though with everything in us, we loved every part of your day, what we loved the most was watching the two of you. you’re perfect for each other and we can’t wait to hang with you next time we’re in chicago.

now we pulled a few of our faves to better tell your beautiful story. enjoy!!!
