Makray Memorial Golf Club | St. Anne Catholic Church in Barrington |Brooke and Rob

Brooke got ready at her parents house where she grew up. Beautiful home with lots of photo ops.

Her Mom Linda helping with the bracelet.

I love the jewelry box with her parents wedding photo on it.

Her toenail polish was the something blue 🙂

Love this one!

The girls were so much fun, of course the bride’s reflection in the window was a huge bonus 🙂

Gorgeous Church. [St. Anne Catholic Church in Barrington]

Exiting the Church. One of my favorites.

Best idea I’ve seen in a long time… renting a school bus for transportation.  Brides to be, you would not believe the amount of $$ you can save by doing this!  Of course it was really appropriate for this wedding since Brooke is a teacher, but I think it’s a fabulous idea for anyone looking for affordable  (and comfortable too, the seats are cushioned) transportation.

The reception was at Makray Memorial Golf Club .

FAVORITE!!!!! The ‘ring’ of blue surrounding them is lens flare, which is caused by  the sun. (not  photoshop)

Another favorite, she looks like a Hollywood starlet in this photo.

Adorable!

I love these chairs! I also love that the chairs are not covered.

The cake was stunning, everyone was talking about it. [ Lovin Oven Cakery]

First dance.

It’s super-girl!

The mini deserts were out of this world. Oak Mill Bakery in Niles did an outstanding job.

From Brooke…

“Our wedding day was by far the best and happiest day of my life.  Every little detail was more perfect than I imagined it would be.

One of my favorite parts of the day was reading the card Rob had written me just hours before the ceremony.

I also loved seeing our bridal party line up before they walked down the aisle. There was just something really moving about seeing our closest friends and family as they were getting ready to stand by our sides.

But my absolute favorite moment was walking down the aisle with my parents and seeing the love of my life and my best friend waiting anxiously for me.

Celebrating with our loved ones was a perfect way to end the day. It was truly a day I will never forget.”
