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 had picked out perfect details to wear including a stunning Lazarro dress and David Tutera wedges.

Noelle was glowing all morning long ….

While I was with the girls, Rachael photographed Chris as he opened a very special wedding gift from Noelle … her grandfather’s pocket watch.

Chris looked dapper as ever in his tux.

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.

St. Viator’s Parish in Chicago is absolutely stunning.

Officially Mr. and Mrs !!!

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.

The evening was full of emotional toasts ….

And lots of laughter with great friends and amazing family.

The first dance is always such a special moment.

Noelle and Chris are complete naturals on the dance floor.

But they made sure to have sweet moments where it appeared they were in their own little world together.

The party continued late into the evening with lots of dancing and fun.

Many thanks to this amazing creative team who brought this wedding together…
