When I first met Craig and Becca for their Chicago Engagement session, I was excited to hear more details about their wedding at The Rookery in Chicago. The Rookery is one of my favorite spaces for a wedding ceremony and reception in the city, and hearing all of the details and witnessing just how awesome Craig and Becca are, made me thrilled to be a part of their wedding team.

Fast forward to the middle of a pandemic in 2020, and weddings being postponed and rescheduled… Becca and Craig decided to have a small, intimate backyard wedding ceremony at Becca’s parents home on their original wedding date. Followed by a delicious meal in a tented space also in the backyard. It was perfect.

They rescheduled their cocktail hour and reception for the Fall of 2021, and I know that they, their family and friends have been counting down the days until their big reception. I was counting down the days too, but mainly because I have been DYING to see Becca’s custom designed, custom made wedding gown. Becca is an incredibly talented artist, and had an amazing vision for her wedding dress. It was stunning.

Surrounded by the people that love them the most, Becca and Craig had the most incredible party that they had waited so long for. The dancing was beyond! I have way too many dance floor photos (is that possible?!) because of how much fun everyone had dancing the night away.

On to the photos….Which I could not narrow down any further!

Thank you to a fantastic team of vendors who helped make this day possible!
