A September Wedding at Cantigny: Laura & Peter

post filed in:

Wedding

 

When I think about Saturday, there are so many different things that come back to mind.

Sweet moments between Laura & her Dad during their first look. The heartfelt ways Laura’s Mom was remembered throughout the day. The excitement and anticipation as Laura walked down the aisle, Peter seeing her for the first time.

There were so many memorable parts to their day!

However, in true Wedding Wednesday fashion. Here are the top five moments that come to mind from Laura & Peter’s wedding this past Saturday. 🙂

 

Wedding Wednesday Top 5

#5. I loved the newly renovated Cantiny Bridal Cottage! I’m not sure who decorated it, but they’re hired for my future house!

It really was the perfect location for Laura and her bridesmaids. 🙂 They had lots of space to hang out, get hair & makeup done, a kitchen, neutral backgrounds and even a couple rooms upstairs for putting on dresses! Perfect for these ladies.

#4. The stunning rose garden Laura & Peter got married in. More than that though, the personal vows they exchanged. There wasn’t a dry eye there.

#3. Their jam-packed dance floor! At one point a bunch of guys grabbed Peter, put him up on their shoulders and started tossing him up in the air! Don’t worry, we got the shot. 😉

#2. I’m told Peter was in charge of this one….

The late-night snack Laura & Peter brought in, Lou Malnati’s and Portillo’s Chicago style hotdogs! Excellent work Peter. Everyone loved it!

#1. Their sparkler exit. 😀 I always love these and guest love getting to be a part of them. 🙂

The best part of their sparkler exit though, was when Peter took Laura in his arms and dipped her in front of all their friends and family. It doesn’t get any better than that! You’ll have to scroll to check it out. 😉

 

Thank You!

Laura & Peter, thank you so much for having us as your wedding photography team! Blake and I loved getting to work with you. 🙂

We hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon right now, the wine, the sites, and a little relaxation.

As you relax this afternoon, grab a blanket and snuggle up, your sneak peek is live!
