Downers Grove Wedding Photographer: Perfectly paired with a beer...

There are so many things that I could say about this wedding and I know I am not going to make it through all of them!  
I taught Frank's younger sister my first year of teaching.  She was my pride and joy and the one student who really showed me the affect that photography can have on young people!  So I couldn't have been more thrilled when Frank called and told me he got engaged and that they wanted me to photograph their wedding.  
When I first met Stephanie and Frank I could immediately tell they were so in love...and were loving planning this big wedding.  They had so many incredible ideas and were really set on making this wedding as unique as they are.  Everything from the custom designed programs to the home brewed "For Richer of Poorer" beer that was served at the wedding, they outdid themselves.  Their creativity was astounding.  
One of my favorite parts of the wedding had to have been the food!  Unbelievable.  Pork belly, macadamia nut encrusted halibut, and wild mushroom risotto...all phenomenal!  Great job Lisa with Maison Cuisine!
So here are some of my favorites...vintage mansion for the reception filled with vintage furniture, handcrafted brews, and adorable bride and groom chocolate covered strawberries...a wedding made of perfection!

Enjoy!  And congrats to Frank and Stephanie!
