Sage and Gray Wedding in Chicago

February 4, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Chicago is the perfect spot for a classic wedding with the picturesque views and the clean lines of the city. Jen and Tyler envisioned an elegant day with subtle pops of gray, green, and blue. The beautiful gray wedding was captured by Cristina G Photography, who snapped some seriously epic shots of Jen’s veil taking flight in the Windy City.

The Couple:

Jen and Tyler

The Wedding:

River Roast, Chicago, Illinois

The Inspiration:

Classic elegance, with bits of fun and unique touches. I was drawn to elegant, soft décor and designs. Our color theme was light grey, soft blue, and with a pop of chartreuse.

The Moments:

It’s hard to pinpoint one favorite moment! Our first look was such a special, intimate moment for us. There were tears and laughter, but it was also a calming experience to share together. Walking down the aisle and seeing all these people are here for you, it’s an overwhelming, happy, and surreal moment.

The Couple Recommends:

Cristina G Photography’s work is exquisite. Cristina and her team are true experts in their craft and have given us beautiful photographs to cherish forever. Cristina was one of the easiest vendors to work with as well. Her attention to detail and prompt, helpful responses and suggestions made the process easy and fun.

Intimate Santorini Wedding Video

Eloping in one of the world’s most beautiful cities is as romantic as it is intimate. This means that the wedding professionals brought on to capture the day must find a balance between giving the couple room to embrace the bliss of being married and becoming a friend that the couple are excited to have around during such a special experience. Elena and Roger’s intimate Santorini wedding was made all the more perfect with the addition of Untitled Film Works and photographer David Campbell working together to capture the memories the couple will cherish forever.

The Couple:

Elena and Roger

The Wedding:

Aghios Artemios Traditional Houses, Santorini, Greece

The Inspiration:

Considering the wedding took place on the very stunning island of Santorini, we wanted to the picturesque views and natural beauty of the island to be the focal ‘theme’. We were blessed with very unique and magical surroundings. We kept the theme very simple – white on white on white! The wedding day fashion reflected thought for the hot summer day… my dress was rather light and simple, with no heavy beading or jewels. Roger and Anthony, the best man, wore navy blue suits that we thought really suited the island feel.

The Moments:

We loved the photo shoot we had. It took place in Imerovigli, a secluded and romantic part of the island. It was a beautiful moment because we had all this time to ourselves (aside from the presence of the talented photographer, David Campbell, and the amazing Untitled team, Abraham Joffe and Sam!). The photos and footage of that part of the day really captured a great physical memory for us.

The Couple Recommends:

David Campbell and Abraham Joffre (Untitled Film Works) really stood out the most for us. Their hard work, talent and passion for their work more than paid off. So many of our friends love their work so much so that they too have booked them for their weddings.

Vintage Wedding in New Orleans

The essence of New Orleans can be found deep within the old brick structures as much as in the people who are from there. Anna envisioned a quintessentially New Orleans wedding, complete with music in the streets and views of some of the city’s most beloved locations. Choosing a glamorous vintage style, the wedding in New Orleans beautifully captured the charm that has existed in the city for lifetimes. Dorka Photography was an obvious choice for Anna and Spencer, and both her photography and her presence will be cherished by the couple forever.

The Couple:

Anna and Spencer

The Wedding:

Murials on Jackson Square, New Orleans, Louisiana

The Inspiration:

It’s hard to have a wedding in New Orleans with out channeling the city’s charm, timeless rustic appeal, creole/voodoo roots, vintage buildings, weathered decor and it’s laid back atmosphere with the snap crackle and pop of jazz and jam. It was a mix of the Great Gatsby with a Vintage Glam twist. As the bride, being from New Orleans, a traditional Catholic wedding was the only way to make it feel right, followed by the way the Crescent City really throws down, hootin’, hollerin’, dancin’, and celebratin’.

The Moments:

How relaxed I finally was and how much fun we both had. I feel like every thing was in slow motion and high-speed all at the same time. Each detail unfolded perfectly from the gospel singers at the wedding, to the band (Mingo Fishtrap) at the reception and the flash mob planned by my Maid of Honor to Thriller (she also hired a surprise Michael Jackson impersonator to finish the dance with us), Having my dad walk me down the isle, riding to the church with him, my last moments as a single woman with my dad, seeing my groom for the first time on the roof of the Monteleon Hotel, seeing how absolutely stunning each and every bridesmaid looked and how handsome the groomsmen (and groom) were, having the Deacon that I grew up with marry us (brought me back to my childhood), remembering my mother, and feeling her with me that day, Saying “I DO,” dancing my fanny off , OH the Photobooth – my sister in law made this fabulous backdrop and everyone had so much fun.

The Couple Recommends:

Dorka Photography, BY FAR, made our wedding and rehearsal dinner weekend AMAZING — she was part of us with out even knowing she was there. She captured the weekend effortlessly and our emotion and joy is so artfully documented in forever form. THANK YOU.
