JESSICA AND MATT
Jessica and Matt are such a sweet and fun couple, I had a great time with them at their spring engagement session and again this winter as their Silver Lakes Country Club Orland Park Wedding Photographer. They had planned a December wedding with all the magic that the holidays have to offer including twinkle lights and a fresh dusting of early winter snow! We photographed them getting ready and having a first look at the venue, Silver Lakes Country Club in Orland Park since winter lends itself to very small amounts of daylight doing pictures before an evening ceremony was a must do. These moments were fantastic, both romantic and silly as we could see both their fun personalities shining thru the pictures. From there this couple braved the cold and we headed to a local park for some more portraits with a little snow falling too before we knew it the winter sun was setting in a magic display of pinks and purples and it was time for the intimate wedding festivities to begin. The ceremony was officiated by both the father of the bride and the father of the groom, which I thought was so personal and such a wonderful way to include their family in the wedding celebrations. The party kicked off with the best cake cutting I had seen all season and a wonderful meal followed by a flawless dance set that the couple worked very hard to learn. This was such a wonderful couple and perfect way for us to end the 2017 wedding season!
Congratulations Jessica and Matt!!! I wish you nothing but love and laughter as you begin your happily ever after!!
FAVORITE MOMENT: GROOM
Matt’s favorite part was the ceremony, he loved that both of our fathers performed the ceremony. It made it special and unique and helped to bring our families together.
FAVORITE MOMENT: BRIDE
ADVICE FOR OTHER COUPLES:
Jessica and Matt said, “not to get caught up in the little things. I tried to keep the big picture in mind rather than plan things that I would have to continuously manage throughout the wedding. I wanted to make sure we could have fun too! Of course, I also would have to say to make sure couples take a moment to enjoy the moment and remember why they are having the huge party. Don’t forget about the love.”
Thanks so much to these amazing vendors who helped make our day so special!!
Jessica and Matt wrote to me: “Laura and Deonna were fabulous! We were accommodating and braved the cold weather to get the photos I really wanted. We also rolled with the fact that my family is a little goofy and we didn’t always want the traditional wedding photos. I appreciate you always kept communication open before, during, and after the wedding. It made it easy to plan out details and ensure you were able to all the photos I wanted plus more!”
