Shanley & Gino’s Real Wedding – Chicago

Photos: Edyta Szyszlo Photography
Happy Monday! I’m back from my photo assignment but not for long! I had a super start to my 2009 wedding season with Shanley and Gino’s Chicago wedding last week. Glamorous spring details, Shanley’s fabulous dress and both of their loving families! Can’t wait to share this sneak peek with you (of course I couldn’t decide!)…

Simple chic – white and black were the theme colors with subtle hints of pink.

I love the subtle cuddling and movements in photographs – something told me they knew what they were doing :)

The ceremony and reception were both held at the Renaissance Hotel downtown Chicago. Floral and event design by the lovely Renee Price at Kehoe Designs. White drapes and fabrics lit by candlelight with hints of pink up-lighting. Oh-so romantic :) Day of coordination by Emilee at Blush and Bashful Event Boutique.

STUNNING!

I was so in love with the glittery pillows and table runners in the lounge area. The up-lighting hit the sparkles just so. So much emotion flooded the room – history was shared, stories of love and triumph and tears of joy on many faces.

Such a sweet father-daughter dance. It was a pleasure to be apart of such an eventful day! Congrats to you both in every way ;)











One of the best websites we have seen for stunning dresses ( and for 2010 at much more affordable prices than her previous collections) is the Vera Wang site.
