We love a good August wedding! The weather really threw us for a loop with having rainy clouds during the exact time frame of the expected outdoor ceremony, but overall it was a very good day. Becca and Peter had both their ceremony and reception at Bolingbrook Golf Club which made their day a breeze as far as planning goes. Bolingbrook Golf Club has so much to offer for a banquet hall and we definitely love being there! Our team was there to provide day-of coordination and we are glad to have been a part of such a beautiful day!

This wedding was classic and elegant with some soft features like their details and their colors. We loved that even the perfume matched with their soft pinks of the wedding day!

The girls got ready at the venue which was really nice and convenient so they didn’t have to do any traveling once they got started! The dresses are ready and hung and we love seeing the traditional tea ceremony dress that Becca wore to the reception later.

Becca’s dress was STUNNING - we loved how well it worked for the venue, the vibe, and the day! The lace details had that soft elegance that radiated throughout the day.

Becca did a few first looks with her family and friends and we LOVED seeing their reactions! The first one was with her bridesmaids and we love seeing the excitement!

The next first look was with Becca and her dad - the emotions were high and it was so precious! We always recommend doing first looks like this because it really is a memory that you will hold forever.

Of course the best first look is last with Peter - between the first look and the vows, both Becca and Peter were able to enjoy each other’s company finally for their wedding day. Private vows are also so nice because you don’t have to worry about how it will sound for all of your family and friends and can really have them personal just for the two of you!

We had some great looking folks for their wedding party - the classic, black tuxes and the soft, pink dresses really brought their vision together so well!

The girls had the same color dress, but were able to pick the style that suits them best. We always appreciate this so that everyone can feel comfortable on the wedding day!

The couple’s photos were so precious - we love the time that couples get together when they do a first look to really bring down the nerves and get to maximize the time that you spend together!

The ceremony was planned to be outside originally, but with the looming presence of clouds and rain, the couple decided to move it inside to eliminate some back and forth about whether or not it was going to work. It still looked lovely with the decor in the space though as you can see! They also were able to put up some partition walls to avoid spoiling the whole reception space for later.

Even with the first look, Peter and Becca both had an emotional response when Becca came down the aisle. We always tell our couples that the first look doesn’t take away from the moment you are about to get married!! We always advocate for a first look unless that is non-negotiable.

Some of our favorite photos of the day are when you come back down the aisle after just being married - they always are so full of excitement and love, and these definitely are some of the best photos of the day!

After the wedding party and family photos were over after the ceremony, Becca and Peter went and took some golden hour photos that are BEAUTIFUL! We are thankful that there was enough time throughout the wedding day that had no rain that really allowed for some lovely photos, and Mary Rose Photography did an amazing job capturing their love!

The sun was setting and the clouds were coming, but that allowed for some cool variety in their photos with the lighting and the colors. We love the candy-cane lighting with the pinks and blues in the sky!

The reception was absolutely stunning - the elegance really shined through! Becca and Peter did a room reveal so they got the first glimpse of the amazing space with the marquee letters of their new shared last name!

We love a good cake cutting to really show you off as a couple - we definitely love the love and it is so sweet!!

The dessert table was truly amazing - it was so long with so many gorgeous and tasty options! We love having a dessert station with a cake so everyone has something they will love.

Becca and Peter had some beautiful, emotional speeches that really were fun to listen to. The emotions were definitely high for everyone throughout the day and there were so many tears shed about how lovely this couple is!

For their first dance, they had so many surprises that everyone went crazy for! The marquee letters, the dancing on a cloud, and the sparklers from the DJ were truly incredible and something to remember.

You usually only get a few goes with the cold sparklers, so we love this shot with everyone on the dance floor because it really is a spectacular show of the moments you share with your closest family and friends.

Another favorite shot of ours is the sparkler exit if you have the opportunity to do them - we usually help a lot with making sure no one catches on fire and that everyone has a lit sparkler, and it makes for AMAZING photos! We love everything about these shots at the end of the night.
