Real Illinois Wedding: Hannah and Adam

I'm tickled pink about today's real wedding feature! I had the absolute honor of coordinating Hannah and Adam's Naperville, IL wedding back in April, and I can't say enough amazing things about these two. They are so madly in love, bring out the best in each other, and had absolutely lovely families to share their day with. I will not lie, parts of their celebration made me a little teary!

At this wedding, I met a wonderful, kind and amazingly talented photographer Brittany Parker of Hanle Productions. I must admit, when I found out she was photographing Hannah and Adam, I was giddy because her artistic style is just beautiful.

So, without further ado, let's shake our tail feathers for Hannah and Adam!

Real Wedding: Kristin and Brad

Hello, everyone! It's been a couple of days since I've posted a real wedding, so that's what I have for you today. Brought to us by Hooman at Vesic Photography (he's no stranger to The Owl!), we have Kristin and Brad's absolutely lovely Virginia wedding. Kristin fell in love with their venue, The Berry Hill Resort, because of its charm, history and character. She says, "It reminded me of Tara from 'Gone With the Wind' and thought it was the perfect location. We wanted our guests to feel like they were enjoying a weekend getaway while attending our wedding." Kristin and Brad had 'The Great Gatsby' in mind while planning their wedding. Mixed with a little "Italian flair and Southern elegance," as Kristin says, they pulled it off perfectly. Let's take a look!















Kristin's dad made each of the bouquets for the wedding, and they were one of the details that Kristin was most proud of.































What's Kristin's advice for future brides and grooms? "Enjoy every moment of the planning and of your big day! Take a few moments on your wedding day to sit back and just take it all in, and most importantly, make sure you have fun!"

Thank you so much to Hooman for sharing these beautiful photos with us today. As always, his blog is a must-see! Kristin and Brad, I absolutely loved looking through your wedding photos, and wish you many years of happy memories together.
