CHICAGO WEDDING : EAGLEWOOD RESORT WEDDING PHOTOS // noelle + chris

As a house full of nearly 20 women buzzed around, Noelle wandered from room to room eager to get dressed. After nearly a decade of loving Chris, the day where she would finally become his wife was here, and she glowed with excitement. It wasn’t until the limo pulled up to St. Viator’s Parish in Chicago when the gravity of the moment hit her. “I’m getting married,” she whispered with a smile to her sister.

Chris anxiously waited as his 14 groomsmen escorted each bridesmaid down the aisle. And the wait, while long, was worth every second as Noelle radiated with beauty and happiness as she made her way toward him. They pledged to honor and love one another, in front of their friends, family and God, unconditionally with devotion and tenderness. It was a perfect day for two perfect people.

Noelle and Chris – From the moment we met, I knew I was in store for a great day. I just had no idea how wonderful it would be! Your friends and family made us feel so welcomed, and it was such an honor to document your sweet love. I hope that exploring Europe was the perfect epilogue to your best day ever. Much love and xo – Brittany

Noelle and Chris said they “I do’s” at St. Viators Parish which is the same church that Noelle’s parents married at.

Chris was beyond excited to see Noelle and fought back his tears and her Dad walked her down the aisle.

We took golf carts around Eaglewood’s beautiful golf course and found a gorgeous location where the leaves were just starting to change.

The bouquet designed by Deptula Florist was gorgeous but what made it even more beautiful was the photo of Noelle’s mother  that she attached to it.

The tent was an enchanted fall wonderland full of beautiful wedding details.

Chris wasn’t expecting Noelle to smear icing on his face during the cake cutting, but it made for some fun photos.
