 New years eve weddings that get sunshine on your skin are really such a treat if you ask me : ) And when they get that dreamy snow surrounding a couple like Jack + Molly, you know it is an extra treat! These two are some of the kindest, most fun humans to be around. Getting to be there with their favorite humans to ring in the New Year and capture their vows was such an absolute treat! All day there were nothing but ear-to-ear smiles on everyones face. All of the speeches were filled with such excitement + love for these two — it was just the best! I really loved getting to close out my 2017 wedding season with these guys – we had the BEST TIME!!   I loooove you guys : )  So I am like 100% obsessed with this shot of gorgeous Molly : )  First look time!  Babes.  Ahhhhh! Love this : )  Beauties + total snow champs!  I meeeeean you guys!!  I mean, I’ll probably hang this one in my house!   Marrrrried!!First Dance :: Got to Get You into My Life, The BeatlesAnd now a few words from the newlyweds!

Favorite moment from your day?: The entire day was more than we could have asked for! We were so lucky to have all of our friends and family surrounding us helping to create so many great memories. But the top three, was our first look, the 200+ person conga line, and the entire wedding huddled on the dance floor singing “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” by Aerosmith.

Would you have done anything differently?: Eaten the cake and ice cream. We aren’t even cake people, but when you have a beautiful four tiered cake, and are throwing a huge party for all your closest friends and family, you should eat the cake!

Any tips or tricks for future couples planning their weddings? The sooner the planning is done, the sooner you can sit back and relax and enjoy your wedding month, week, or weekend! You work so hard on one day, make sure you can take the time to be in the moment and enjoy it!

Molly + Jack – you twoooooooo!!! My goodness do I love you guys : ) We had the absolute best time getting to capture this gorgeous winter wedding of yours – it was an absolute dream from start to finish. Thank you, thank you so much for trusting us to be there to capture all of that love + happiness that was surrounding you guys. Such incredible memories!! You two are something special, and I am just so honored to have gotten to photograph this day of yours – huge congrats + thanks again! xo – laurie Vendor love to Second Shooter :: Nicki DeFillippis  ///  Florist :: Dreamscapes Wedding Floral Designs   ///    DJ :: Emily from Toast & Jam , Inc.,   ///    Cake :: Orland Park Bakery   ///    Bridesmaid Dresses :: Bella Bridesmaids (Chicago)    ///    Tuxes :: Formally Modern Tuxedo    ///    Hair + Makeup :: White Lotus Weddings    ///    Venue + Catering :: Palos Country Club
