It’s easy to love Julie and Alex.  Smart, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to, they have lots of great stories to tell and are fun to listen to.  Julie is tenacious and outgoing, and Alex is quiet and thoughtful, and together they are just perfect.  But at their wedding, we realized that they are FUN.  Like, one of the best dance parties we have ever witnessed type of fun.  You can imagine that this wedding day was one that we just didn’t want to ever end!

I have to add that Julie did an amazing job styling her wedding.  She created a gorgeous art deco feel that perfectly complemented the amazing setting at the Chicago Cultural Center.  From her stunning Jenny Packham gown, to the gorgeous decor by Revel Decor, getting ready at the historic Palmer House Hilton, and all the little DIY elements that Julie created herself, every little bit was just perfect.  And we can’t say enough about Loren from Clementine Custom Events who kept the day running smoothly and was an absolute pleasure to work with.  It was truly a dream team for a magical day!

Julie and Alex, thank you so much for inviting us to capture your wedding day.  It was one that we will certainly never forget and we were so honored to be a part of!
