gorgeous black and white wedding with photos at dominican univeristy

A day that was calling for rain from wake to sleep and it we ended up with sunshine!

I'm so so excited to be sharing Anthony and Stephanie's wedding day! The wedding week was a bit of an "on the edge of our seat" time as the forecast was getting worse and worse as we approached Saturday. Rain was NOT something that Anthony and Stephanie were wanting to incorporate into their day, so we came up with back up plans and monitored the weather as best as we could.

Fast forward to wedding day. We had bride and groom prep downtown and luckily, we had the gorgeous covered riverwalk area in our back pocket for rain. It was barely spitting, but we still took full advantage of the pass-way and I'm in love with the results! We kept our fingers crossed that the storm would drift to the west of Chicago and sure enough, by the time we got out of ceremony, the sun was shining and it was off to Dominican University for formals!

If you ever are looking for a spot in the burbs (city perimeter burbs, that is!) look no further than Dominican University. It is stunning! I'm quite literally obsessed with the formals we took here. The lighting was perfect and the ivy was in full bloom.

I'm in love with this entire gallery for the new Mr. and Mrs. Mahaz! They threw one hell of a party and the joy that surrounded them on Saturday was nearly unbeatable!

Congratualtions to Mr. and Mrs. Mahaz!
