1920s Inspired Chicago Wedding at Germania Place

1920s-Inspired-Chicago-Wedding-at-Germania-Place-Liz-Lui-31

Two cultures, one beautiful couple, and a venue that transformed from a traditional Indian ceremony to a glamorous Jewish one. The 1920s inspired Chicago wedding took place at Germania Place where guests joined Aravina and Mason in tying the knot twice, each ceremony honoring their individual customs. The Indian ceremony was vibrant and full of timeless rituals and lots of smiles. During the Jewish ceremony is where the vintage styling really came in to play, with the bride wearing an embellished gown, a crystal-adorned headpiece, and a dramatic red lip. Liz Lui Photography and Old North Film Co brilliantly captured every facet of the special day in both still images and film.

The Couple:

Aravinda and Mason

The Wedding:

Germania Place, Chicago Illinois

The Moments: It was all such a blur, but I will never forget the back stage moments of quiet, being with family right before walking down the aisle…not once, but twice! Once for an Indian ceremony and once for a Jewish one.

Hawaiian weddings are characterized by beachy vibes, vibrant colors, and plenty of leafy leis to go around. June Photography and a team of the island’s most talented wedding professionals were inspired to create a modern Honolulu wedding with an updated take on traditional tropical elements. When planning a contemporary celebration in Hawaii, there’s no better venue choice than The Modern Honolulu.

From the Photographer:  Our goal was to create a more elegant, simple and modern Hawaiian style wedding, done at one of Honolulu’s most sought after boutique hotels for young professionals. We chose it local, keeping local grown brightly colored florals, with a ceremony in the middle of their infinity pool and reception in their beautifully decorated penthouse with an ocean view.

Charlotte and Nicolas planned the quintessential traditional French wedding: the day began by tying the knot in a small church in Bouclans and ended eating croquembouche adorned with sparklers. The beautiful couple rode off into the countryside in a vintage VW Beetle post-ceremony for a romantic photo session with Danilo and Sharon. Their laid-back reception took place at their family home, where guests enjoyed a chic white display, a deconstructed photo booth, delicious eats by Baud Besançon.

The Couple:

Charlotte and Nicolas
