artifact events LDW wedding bursting with color

My color-loving self was legit on cloud nine this entire wedding day!

I'm still on cloud 9! From the minute I walked into Kelly's bridal suite, I knew that the design of this wedding was right up my alley! Kelly and Michael are also big animal lovers, so we kind of hit it off right off that bat!

These two are truly one of the most laid back couples ever! They are so happy to just be together and celebrate their love that the wedding day itself was just like floating. Any little hiccup (like maybe your ring finger swelling up and not being able to get your engagement ring back on) was laughed away and the air was filled with joy!

It was very important to Kelly and Michael that we photographed them in front of the mural that means the most to them. They both are PAWS volunteers in Chicago, so this mural is a part of their weekly routine anytime they come aid the animals. It was so fun getting a different look for them before heading over to Montrose Beach for formals!

When we got to their venue, Artifact Events, my photographer heart exploded. Color. EVERYWHERE. The signage, the floral arch, the centerpieces. Everything was so coordinated and stunning! I could've photographed their details for hours!

I'm so excited to be highlighting this wedding! It was such an honor to capture the love these two share and I'm stoked to be sharing the images with you!

Congratulations you two!
