Chelsea and Taylor’s wedding day was full of sweet moments, joyful laughter, and electrifying energy.  It would make sense because those qualities pretty much define this couple.  Chelsea is the ultimate hype girl, and just brings this amazing energy to every moment you spend with her.  Taylor grounds her and yet joins in the excitement all at the same time…the joy was palpable the whole day and it really touched me.  I just have to share a few moments that I truly will never forget from this beautiful day.  First, Chelsea’s dress with a cape was just absolutely stunning.  Chelsea had family fly in from around the world for their wedding and I know how much that mean to her!  After her and Taylor read their personal vows, she was so overcome with emotion that she asked if she could hug Taylor…it was so sweet!! Chelsea’s dad brought me to tears multiple times during the reception, the first when he told a story of Chelsea as a young kid and how she will do anything to make others feel cared for and to ensure no single person is left out.  He then sang a surprise song to her that he had promised her he would sing on this day when she was only a few years old and there was not a dry eye in the house!  And Taylor’s brother gave a hilarious speech and reminded the room that he also has a complete heart of gold, making a match that is truly perfect.  There were so many moments that touched me, and I cannot wait to share this gorgeous spring country club wedding with you!

Chelsea you are beautiful!!! First look with dad!! You can just feel the joy looking at these photos!! Such beauties!! We had one blooming tree in our space and I could not love these more!! Chelsea’s dad and his mama stole a dance and it was the sweetest! Sunset at Panther Creek Country Club is pretty unmatched! This might be my favorite reception shot ever!!  The energy was ELECTRIC in that room right before their bridal party joined them on the dance floor!!! Chelsea and Taylor, I ADORE you two and am touched truly by the love you share.  I was so honored to be a part of it!! To see Chelsea + Taylor’s beautiful downtown Chicago engagement session, click HERE!
