Love is a Big Deal is back in action with Part II of this all day fete. After a fun-loving brunch wedding and maybe a quick nap, Mr. and Mrs. and all of their guests reconvened at the Soulé Steam Feed Works for an eclectic dance party full of great food and loads of cake. It's an all day love-a-thon and it continues on in the gallery.
Our next few weddings are double header if you will. It starts with a FAB to the ULOUS brunch wedding with the coolest details that encompass all things brunchy. Bloody Marys and passed Mimosas anyone? Along with a carnival feel that paid homage to the Carousel venue where these two celebrated their nuptials. The gallery awaits with all kinds of mid-morning goodness shot by ...
Engagement sessions are all about the love and sometimes the addition of a killer sense of style. Which, when coupled with beautiful images like those of Dominique Fierro, makes for a wildly romantic photo shoot. A few key ingredients that raised the bar even farther? Yellow fields, flowing maxi dresses and a couple that travelled all the way from Greece to make their e-session debut with Dominique.
As someone who looks at weddings day in and day out by the hundreds, I love when a wedding surprises me. When a bride or a groom is so giddy, so inspired, so ready to make the journey of planning a wedding all about the fun, well I always smile a little bit bigger. As is the case with this next beauty. A day inspired by the movie 500 Days of Summer with DIY for days and a bride that just can't stop grinning. I love that. Oh and I can't forget to mention the stunning photographs by our sweet...

It's mason jars meets lawn games...
There is one thing that my husband and I LOVE to spend our evenings together doing and that's cooking. We crack open a bottle of red, crank up the tunes and create our own little dinner masterpieces and it's heaven. After looking at this adorable session from Marcus of Studio Impressions Photography, I see that we are not alone in our pursuit of coupled cooking. These two have taken that love and crafted an engagement session around...

Up next is a photo shoot with so much style I want to crawl into it and call it my real life. Or at least pretend it's mine for one day. The mod stationery by Five Dot Design, the succulent-infused florals by Marti’s Floral Designs and all the details in between curated by Blue Dahlia Events make me...
As a Windy City native myself, I have a soft spot in my wedding-loving heart for an engagement shoot that showcases Chicago.

What can I say? I'm totally in love with this wedding. I love the adorable couple and I love every single detail about their day. It's fresh and fun and filled with a whole lotta personality!

Well, there are a few more deets that push the pretty envelope, like the bride's stunning...
I have a confession. Even though I am a full blown wedding junkie, I thought about eloping more than once when planning my big day. There is something so incredibly romantic about running off with the love of your life to say I do, just you two. It's even better when you get to bring along the talents of Minutes of Love Photography so all the romance is captured on film - which is just what this new Mr. & Mrs. did allowing us...
