Mary Claire and Beau’s wedding will definitely be remembered as one of the most epic and beautiful of the year.  We started out the day in the unbelievable Princess Diana Suite at the Drake Hotel Chicago, where we could watch the Air and Water Show out the windows.  Mary Claire and Beau are two fun, relaxed, individuals who were determined to enjoy every minute of their wedding day and every second with their crazy wedding party.  From actually rocking the trolley to partying with 250+ guests on the dance floor, they didn’t slow down for a second!  I’m telling you, these two know how to make the most out of the ultimate Chicago wedding!

Thank you so much to Joelle from Simply Perfect by Melissa who sweetly and kindly made sure everything was absolutely perfect, and the beautiful hair by Debra Petrielli and makeup by Carly Pribich, who not only made sure this bridal party looked amazing but got them all done on time too!  The Gold Coast of the Drake Hotel is officially one of my new favorite spaces to shoot, it’s just so gorgeous, and the floral and decor by Exquisite Designs made the room look and feel fabulous!  Thank you, Mary Claire and Beau, for inviting us to capture this amazing day!
