When I think about Alexandra & Nick’s wedding this past Saturday, so many fun memories come to mind! From popping Champagne in the morning with the Bridesmaids and Alexandra’s sweet first look with her Dad, to the live band, stunning florals, and fun dances at the reception. There were so many perfect parts to Alexandra & Nick’s wedding day! However, I wanted to share just my top three favorite parts, a Wedding Wednesday tradition. : )
#3. The fun traditions Alexandra and her Sorority sisters shared together during their reception! These are the sweet, unique, and personal memories we love to capture for our couples. I’m so glad Alexandra grabbed me to capture this!
#2. Golden Hour photos with the Bride & Groom! Wowza! I am so grateful that Alexandra & Nick were game to sneak out for a few minutes during their reception. The glowy light we had was just perfect and I love all the shots we got by the fountain. So, so worth it!
#1. The couple’s first look. These are always special moments, but getting to capture these genuine reactions was just the best. : )
Oh! Can I add one more? The fun shot that we got at The Drake Oak Brook’s timeless bar! Love how it turned out. So, so glad we were able to gather the whole Bridal Party for this shot!
