Best Ivy Room Wedding Photos | Charles + Jessica

Chicago in June – it was packed with what felt reminiscent of island weather if you ask me, a little nod to Hawaii wedding vibes for the temps.  But much more importantly, this day was packed with a whole lot of love + tradition surrounding Charles + Jessica as they shared their vows and danced into their newlywed life. These two designed their day as such a lovely reflection of them + their love of exploration together, which made sense since their love story is so intertwined with their passports. I loved it all – even the heat because we killed it out there! And so did these two babes : )

 These are the Momma’s – who I adored. Like want to go out dancing with these two on my day off : )  I mean – Jessica!! So glaaaaaaamorous, glamorous!  I love first looks – like way more than may be normal. And when surrounded by walls of ivy, it makes it that much sweeter!   Maggie’s view : ) You’ll catch mine a bit later in this post!   Babes!   Yaaaaaaaas. Totally brought their A-games to our shoot : )  When you get a corner of the city all to yourselves. Annnnnd my view…. from atop the oldest, most rickety staircase/fire escape in the city : )Time to share those vows and make it officially official!   MARRRRRRIED!Like I mentioned, they all danced into the newly married status, and their parent totally busted the best moves : )Time to celebrate! First Dance :: Shawn Mendes-There’s Nothing Holding Me Back
Jessica + Charles – Oh man, what a party you two had! We loved sweating our way through it all with you and your incredible families + friends – it was such a blast! The day was perfect, the details were stunning, and all of the speeches were packed with such fun + loving words surrounding you two. Huge congrats + thank you so much again! XO – Laurie
