There’s really no denying it: traditional weddings rock. They rock sooo much, in fact, that spending our day with this beautiful Chicago affair? Best day ever. Because this is the kind of classic soiree that takes your breath away with lush blooms from Colin Collete, one seriously adorable bride and groom and crazy chic pink and blue hues. Dive into all of the pretty captured by Jacqui Cole right here.
From Jacqui Cole Photography… Grace and Jeff met at the very end of their final year at DePaul University. If that isn’t fate, then I’m not sure what is. They grouped together for a class project and Jeff knew instantly that this beautiful, outgoing girl would eventually be his. And that she was! Grace asked for elegant, timeless and romantic and this wedding at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare was all of the above and more. Getting wed at St. Vincent DePaul Church under the magnificent altar, to sneaking away in Lincoln Park for portraits and the stunning details at the Hyatt Regency – Grace and Jeff’s day was nothing short of perfection. One of the sweetest couples I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know, Grace and Jeff deserve the love and happiness they so clearly bring to each other. With family and friends coming from all across the globe to celebrate their love it was a day to remember. I am so SO happy for you both and wish you a lifetime of love together!
From the Bride… Jeff and I met in a computer class in college. He helped me with my class project and I quickly learned what a kind heart he has. Shortly after we were happily dating. After two years, Jeff proposed on a rainy Sunday in October. Nine months later we were married at our college church, St. Vincent DePaul. We were so fortunate to be surrounded by so many family and friends. It was such a lovely day, I wish we could do it over and over again.
