Real E-Session: Dawn and Ben

Hello, hello! I'm just ecstatic about this lovely and organic e-session today with such an adorable couple. Dawn and Ben live in Chicago, and took quite a few pictures in their home and neighborhood. They're even lucky to have a garden, which I'm totally coveting right now. And the always awesome Jeremy at Jeremy Lawson Photography perfectly capture their spirit and love for each other. Let's take a look!




































































So many sincere thanks to Jeremy for sharing these photos with us today. As usual, his blog is an absolute must, so please be sure to visit. Dawn and Ben, you're just too cute for words! I'm wishing you so many happy memories together as you plan your wedding.

Once-Wed Gowns With White Chicago

Happy Monday, everyone! I'm so excited to have White Chicago in our spotlight today. This Chicago-based designer gown resale boutique is home to tons of once-wed gowns for local brides to try on in store, and brides nationwide to shop for online with White Chicago's latest feature, WhiteXchange. White Chicago only accepts once-wed gowns that have been professionally cleaned, live up to their strict condition code and still have the designer label sewn into the gown.

As a former bride living in Chicago, I can also personally attest to the service I received at White Chicago. Customer satisfaction is the forefront of White Chicago's business, and my appointment at the boutique was nothing short of fun and productive. The gowns are meticulously kept and the boutique itself has a small runway to really see your gown in action.






Let's take a look at some of the beautiful gowns WhitexChange has to offer:



















To view these gowns in person, visit White Chicago's website to make an appointment. To start browsing for gowns online, you can search by designer, style number/name or street size by visiting the WhiteXchange website. Happy shopping!

Day-After Session: Jen and Brad

Hello, everyone! It's so beautiful in Chicago today. Birds are chirping (woo hoo!), and for the first time this year, I didn't have to wear a jacket outside. So, we're celebrating that with an amazing day-after shoot by the talented Chicago-based Jeremy Lawson Photography. Jen and Brad originally approached Jeremy to photograph their wedding, but sadly, he was unavailable. So, they decided to do a day-after session with him instead (have I told you how much I adore day-after shoots?)! Let's all shake our tail feathers for Jen and Brad.


















































Many, many thanks to Jeremy Lawson for sharing these photos with us today! His blog is a do-not-miss, so be sure to pop on over. Jen and Brad, you're an absolutely lovely couple, and I wish you all the best in your lives together.
