Magnificante Mile + Old School Glam = DRUNK IN LOVE Chicago Summer Wedding

Two words for these two love birds: DRUNK in LOVE. Now for those of you who don't slay likeBeyoncé, then just go ahead and skip to the last paragraph. But for those that do, you really just need take one good look at this gorgeous couple's big day captured recently in downtown Chicago to see that palpable, intense, sincere and over the top love that they share. From the moment we started to capture their love story at Lynsey + Frank'sperfectly styled engagement shoot around Chicago's Loop, I could immediately tell these two were made for each other. On the morning of their wedding, love notes were passed, excitement was high and drunk in love tears dangled from many an eye at The Knickerbocker as we captured preparations for the day. The full mass at St. Joseph's Parish on through bridal party photos along Chicago's Mag Mile all gave a dreamy backdrop for capturing their love story. Like it a scene out of that waking dream, a vintage Rolls Royce appears as we are photographing in front of the Board of Trade.                    JUST LIKE A BEYONCÉ drunk in love Dream! Just another day at the office, as we slay in love!

It seemed to me that Saturday, June 24, 2016, was a day that Lynsey had dreamt of for years and 'cool as a cucumber' Frank had known that this day would look just like this always. Her Lazaro gown was cut from the fairy tale mold and his custom tuxedo was dapper as all get out!  It was aperfect summer day that was breezy and a bit cooler than usual, the amazing details of floral, sparkle and old school Chicago, with a good amount of wedding day glam, all while their guests joined in on their excitement.  For the many sweet stares we've captured, the ones that we didn't and the many more Lynsey + Frank are sure to share over their future together, my team and I are grateful to witness your real true, honestly tangible, drunk love! It's what my dreams are made of and we are so thrilled yours came true on your wedding day. We love your love!

love,

Rose + Co

East meets West

When we first met this sweet couple last year,  we loved learning the story of their clandestine courtship! Jenna + Ajay met at work and for the first part of their undercover love, none of their coworkers had any idea that these sweethearts where head over heels for one another. It wasn't until the two became engaged that the office even had any idea that true love was in the air. Fast forward the tape to November 5, 2016, on the Magnificent Mile, at the newly opened LondonHouse where the two lovebirds made it official & tied the knot. Indian wedding customs circled perfectly with a downtown Chicago vibe that culminated in a great blend of East meets West traditions.

Always a sucker for fashion and the great details of style, we are pretty much obsessed with Jenna's wedding gown designed by a crowd favorite, Hayley Paige. The perfectly paired, sari inspired bridesmaid dresses were a flowy combo of sparkle & class. The amount of lush color in the bride's bouquet was mirrored with the gents custom scarves. LOVE THE POP OF COLOR, GUYS!!! From start to finish, the glam squad was on point at this wedding. So much so that when push came to shove, quite literally, our henna clad, bedazzled bridal party pitched in to move a very large obstacle out of the way of our first look!#SQUADGOALS. With a crew like that, dressed to the nines in such a stunning venue, it's no wonder we are ga ga over this set of wedding day photos!

Dearest Jenna + Ajay  ( and your amazing SQUAD, too!!) we were sincerely honored to be a part of your gorgeous wedding celebration. We cannot wait to capture more of your story and share all the photo love!
