Sarah and Nick have been together for years and have come across their fair share of obstacles, so it makes sense that all they really wanted for their wedding day was to celebrate the life they’ve built together with their loved ones surrounding them, and their dog, Gus. When those are your priorities, you can find a way to make any wedding tradition your own, and to completely do it all your way. Sarah and Nick did just that with their colorful punk rock Chicago wedding.

In the questionnaire I send my clients before their wedding day, there’s a section for “anything else I should know.” Rebecca and Vince simply put, “we’re big nerds and we’re in love!”

Two words: squirt guns.

For Chase and Ray, love was just a swipe away….and across the street

The Wilder Mansion in Elmhurst, Illinois was once a public library where this beautiful bride spent her days as a child. Now, it’s an elegant and timeless space perfect for a wedding of the same nature.

On a winter Friday in Rockton, Illinois, the first big snowfall of the season began as Richard + Jen became husband and wife at Orchard Ridge Farms.

Michelle and Elliot balance each other perfectly. It’s not a surprise that their Cleveland Renaissance Hotel wedding was a perfect balance too; a balance of Michelle’s Lebanese heritage with Elliot’s Jewish faith, a balance of trendy details with timeless style, and a balance of sweet and personal union with a crazy fun party.

Just three short months before their wedding date, Mary Beth + Eric’s venue backed out, leaving them with a very short amount of time to reschedule every vendor, and a literal nightmare of logistics. Enter Chicago Theater Works to the rescue.
