Wedding ceremony at Madonna Della Strada Chapel at Loyola University wedding, Chicago Illinois –

I freaking LOVED this wedding!!! I loved the couple, I loved the weather, I loved the vintage Cadillac, loved the family, and I especially LOVED  the timeline…everything was perfect. Please note the number of amazing photos you get when you give your photographer enough time to create them. The Bridal party consisted of the Bride’s Mom as her Maid of Honor, and the Groom’s dad as his Best Man..how sweet is that?

The Bride got ready at the beautiful Orrington Hotel, in Evanston IL.

The ceremony took place at the beautiful Madonna Della Strada Chapel on the Loyola University Chicago campus.

An exited little guest watches the ceremony.

It was a beautiful and intimate wedding, the guest-list was around 40 people.

The most amazing Church location in the entire City of Chicago, Lake Michigan is literally a few steps away.

See? Gorgeous!

The clouds were absolute perfection.

Oh yeah, triple whammy, love :0)

The wind decided to have a little fun with the veil.

Andrew from Vintage Chauffeuring in Plainfield was our most excellent driver, thank you for all your help Andrew!  Carolyn and I got to ride in the Vintage Cadillac too, we felt like celebrities since everyone was pointing and staring.

These two are like a couple from a romantic movie, except they’re for real.

Love them all, I mean really….how can I possibly choose a favorite?

From the Bride…

Flowers: Addison Ashland Florists. An OUTSTANDING florist! They worked so hard to make sure our wedding was nothing but perfect! They accommodated every request even changing our order two weeks before!! I highly recommend them.

Limo: Vintage Chauffeuring in Plainfield. I can honestly say that the service Andrew Armitage and his staff provided for our wedding was without doubt the most professional, efficient and well-organized chauffeur service that I have experienced. The drivers were polite, cheerful and their timekeeping on pick-ups and transfers were impeccable. I was also very impressed with Andrew’s fleet of vintage cars and his flexibility with the frequently changing arrival and departure schedules. I would highly recommend using Vintage Chauffeuring for any event!

Photographer: Angel Eyes Photography. After our wedding last month, all we keep hearing from our guests is how you are THE BEST wedding photographer!!!  A few things that we really appreciated … your ability to capture the moment and the true, honest emotion of the day is unparalleled; you’re fun and silly yet very professional and responsive; the talent and experience that you bring to the table made us feel very comfortable with trusting you the day of; you made yourself available to us for meetings, and offering suggestions for our big day. ALL of our guests raved about what an amazing photographer you are.  Thank you, Hilda and Carolyn. You two were truly a special part of our day! 🙂

A quick stop at Portillo’s for a hot dog and some fun photos.
