There is something special about a wedding on the water and this Chicago beauty shot by Sarah Postma Photography is no exception. A bride in champagne satin, a bouquet in the season’s hottest Pantone color, tangerine, and modern vases filled to the brim with fuchsia tulips. I’d say this one is a winner in my book. Feast your eyes on the rest of this modern fête right here!

From Sarah Postma Photography… Everything about Sarah and Nate’s downtown Chicago wedding was modern and bright. The fuchsia and orange color palette absolutely glowed from the invitations, designed by the bride’s sister Erin German, to the bouquets and the place settings. Sarah wore a dreamy, champagne-colored, mermaid-cut gown, which was perfected with a cathedral-length veil. The bridesmaids’ bouquets featured fuchsia roses and orange/tangerine tulips — certainly on trend with Pantone’s color of the year! I simply couldn’t get enough when I was photographing all of the modern details at this wedding. Sarah and Nate are truly happy together. Their laughter and joy was evident in every image, and they made my job a true delight from their engagement session all the way to their oh-so-fun reception — such a great party!

From Olivia Leigh Photographie… Abby and Michael are high school sweethearts who live in Chicago but returned to their home of Peoria, Illinois, for their wedding celebration. Abby and Michael’s wedding had a sweet vintage touch to the details and a true friends-and-family feel to the celebration, with many people pitching in to make their day as delightful as possible — lots of emotion during toasts. They were married at a church in Peoria and held their reception at Kickapoo Creek Winery — that’s right, a winery in Illinois! Abby wore a beautiful gown with a birdcage veil and super-chic Vivienne Westwood jelly flats, and the maids wore convertible, wine-colored dresses from Etsy and carried huge baby’s breath bouquets. After the ceremony we stopped at Michael’s dad’s ice cream parlor for a sweet scoop, Grand View Drive (which Teddy Roosevelt called “the most beautiful drive in America”) and then hopped off along the side of the road to take pictures in the cornfields — what ended up being my favorite photos and a perfect set of images to showcase the beauty of Illinois outside of the expected Chicago environs.
