Is it possible for two people to smile and laugh as much as Amy and Blake did on their wedding day? The talented Lola Event Productions did an amazing job as usual in creating the wedding of Amy and Blake’s dreams. From meeting in 7th grade gym class to their wedding at the Fairlie Chicago, these two are the definition of being made for each other. Congrats to Amy and Blake!

Tie the knot at St. Paul of the Cross Church in Park Ridge!
Recommending Churches isn't something we typically do and we know you may have an existing affiliation somewhere else BUT if you have the option, St. Paul in Park Ridge is a great place. We've filmed there numerous times and they've always been very welcoming to us and other vendors and I know our wedding parties have enjoyed it, see for yourself at spc-church.org

Elizabeth and Tom went to the same high school but it wasn’t until they attended a mutual friend’s engagement party that their inseparable connection began! Their wedding ceremony at St. Hedwig Catholic Church followed by a reception at the Union League Chicago was a beautiful mix of classic Chicago locations and details along with heartfelt toasts from their friends and families. Overall it was a wonderful day for all in attendance, congrats to Elizabeth and Tom!

During Rachel’s wedding vows to Adam she said she couldn’t believe she was marrying the first boy she dated in high school. Rachel and Adam are the definition of high school sweethearts and their families and friends were so happy to see them married at the Fairlie Hotel. It was a beautiful day and everyone was happy to dance the night away with these two wonderful people, congrats to Rachel and Adam

Shannon and Jack met through work and after a North Avenue beach proposal, they began planning their wedding at the Drake Hotel and St. Paul of the Cross in Park Ridge. It would up being one of the coldest days of the year but Shannon and Jack rolled through the needed changes and everyone in attendance celebrated until late into the night. Congrats to Shannon and Jack!

Alyssa and Jason originally met in high school and Jason’s elaborate proposal at their family’s lakehouse involved family collaboration during a hike through the woods, champagne on a picnic table, a private chef catered dinner, and a surprise visit from Alyssa’s friends. Their wedding at the recently opened Salt Shed was planned by Fran Pine Events and packed with heartfelt exchanges by the newlyweds and their families that was truly a joy to film. Congrats to Alyssa and Jason!
