I cannot say enough good things about him. First of all, he is truly passionate about what he does, and this is evidenced by how hard he worked for us (both on the day of our wedding and at our engagement shoot). He did everything he could to get &ldquo;the perfect shot.&rdquo; He is so creative and has a unique eye for taking simply stunning photos. So many friends and family have come up to me since the wedding to comment on our engagement book and our wedding pictures and how gorgeous and unique they are! Kenny&rsquo;s simple portraits of us are wonderful, and his creative and artistic shots of just us, as well as those of the whole bridal party, are truly one-of-a-kind. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography\" alt=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography \" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/stylish-wedding-dress-accessories-chicago-trump-tower-wedding-kenny-nakai-3.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Stephanie:<\/b> <i>Regarding what was most memorable about our wedding day&hellip;.where do I start?! It was an amazing day from start to finish, and I could not have asked for more! It was my dream wedding! I enjoyed spending time with my mom, Marek, his parents, and friends planning our big day. I will never forget shopping for my dress with my mom, and how special that time was for me. Day of, I will remember getting ready in the morning with all the girls at the Trump &ndash; telling stories, singing along to music, laughing and enjoying the excitement leading up to our ceremony. At our ceremony, I will remember walking down the aisle with my mom and seeing Marek waiting for me at the alter looking oh-so-handsome! I will remember going to do the prayer to Mary with my mom and Marek&rsquo;s mom. Finally, I will NEVER forget how he teared up multiple times during the ceremony, but especially during our vows&hellip;I could truly feel how much he cared for me, and how special this day was for us both. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Probably what I will remember the most is all the love both between us and surrounding us that day. Friends and family all gathered together to have a fun time and celebrate our love for one another. It was such a happy, fun day for us both!! I wish I could do it all over again!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography\" alt=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography \" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/stylish-wedding-dress-accessories-chicago-trump-tower-wedding-kenny-nakai-4.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography\" alt=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography \" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/stylish-wedding-dress-accessories-chicago-trump-tower-wedding-kenny-nakai-5.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography\" alt=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography \" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/stylish-wedding-dress-accessories-chicago-trump-tower-wedding-kenny-nakai-6.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography\" alt=\"elegant Chicago wedding at Trump Tower, stylish wedding dress and bridal necklace, classic black tuxedo, wedding photos by Nakai Photography \" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/stylish-wedding-dress-accessories-chicago-trump-tower-wedding-kenny-nakai-7.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>The Wedding Team:<\/b><br>\nPhotography: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nakaiphotography.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kenny Nakai Photography<\/a><br>\nCeremony Location: <a href=\"http:\/\/sthyacinthbasilica.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">St Hyacinth Basilica<\/a><br>\nReception Location: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trumpchicagohotel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Chicago Hotel<\/a><br>\nDress\/Jewelry: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boutiquevictoria.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Boutique Victoria<\/a><br>\nShoes: <a href=\"http:\/\/us.jimmychoo.com\/page\/home?notify=yes\" target=\"_blank\">Jimmy Choo<\/a><br>\nWedding Florals and Decor: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kehoedesigns.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kehoe Designs<\/a><br>\nDJ: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stylemattersdjs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Style Matters (Dustin Harris)<\/a><br>\nWedding Cake: <a href=\"http:\/\/takethecakeetc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Take the Cake<\/a><br>\nGrooms Cake and Party Favors (chocolate bears): <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sarahscandies.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sarahs Pastries &amp; Candies<\/a><br>\nGroom&rsquo;s Tuxedo: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeglio.com\/board\/page\/main.html\" target=\"_blank\">Zegglio Custom Clothier<\/a><br>\nGroomsmen&rsquo;s Tuxedos: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.formallymodern.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Formally Modern<\/a><br>\nHair: Julie with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amberwavessalon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Amber Waves Salon (in Naperville)<\/a><br>\nMakeup: Jillian Kratky<br>\nNails: Charlene Queano<br>\nBridesmaid dresses: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.priscillaofboston.com\/melissasweet_search.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">Melissa Sweet (Priscilla of Boston)<\/a><br>\nRings: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mr-diamond-usa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MR Diamonds<\/a><br>\nStationary: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spilledinkpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Spilled Ink Press<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you Stephanie and Marek!<\/p>\n<p>Readers, get all kinds of <a href=\"http:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/fashion-report\/default.aspx\">wedding fashion ideas and inspiration in our Fashion Reports<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/groombug\/default.aspx\">Men&rsquo;s Wear ideas in our Groombug section<\/a>, and see more of Stephanie and Marek&rsquo;s wedding on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nakaiphotography.com\/blog\/2011\/08\/trump-chicago-hotel-wedding-photos-st-hyacinth-basilica-stephanie-marek\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kenny Nakai&rsquo;s blog<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What stands out to me in today&#8217;s Chicago wedding from Kenny Nakai Photography, (besides the photos) is how killer this couple&#8217;s wedding style is!
