Ovation Chicago Wedding

Allison + Nick || Ovation Chicago, IL Wedding

 

Baby Mattingly #2 will soon be here! Our little family couldn’t be more excited. Given all the preparing for baby, I’ve been focusing a lot on finishing up some editing before I tackle updating my blog. Thankfully though, I’m all caught up with editing and now have a couple weeks to work on my blog before maternity leave! Excited to share with you all what I’ve been up to this wedding season. 

First up - Allison and Nick’s summer wedding at Ovation Chicago!

When planning their wedding day, Allison and Nick really wanted to focus on providing good food and good fun for all those who came together to celebrate their marriage. Let me tell you, they did just that. Schauls Cuisine and Molly’s Cupcakes did not disappoint in the food and bake goods department. ;) And, when I was collecting images to put together this blog post, I couldn’t help but laugh my way through the bridal party and dance floor photos. This group was such a riot and they so clearly had a great time. 

I’ll let the photos speak for the rest of the day!

Maureen + Scott || Chicago, IL Wedding

 

Maureen and Scott's wedding was simple, modern and timeless. Their love of Chicago came through with every detail of their wedding day... I mean they had Lou Malnati's for dinner - doesn't get more Chicago than that! 

One of my favorite aspects of their day is their clear love for not only each other but also all those they've surrounded themselves with. Throughout the day there was so much joy and constant laughter. There were also some pretty epic toasts that had the whole room cracking up. At one point, Maureen's brother was also DJ'ing the wedding! It was quite the show. Much more sweet and memorable moments from their wedding - see for yourself!
