Read MoreIt was such a joy working with Blaine & Sean at the classic Meson Sabika for their beautiful wedding day. For their day we started at The Indigo Hotel followed by their romantic first look and bridal portraits along the Naperville Riverwalk! The Naperville Riverwalk is such a great spot for wedding party photos with its bridges, florals, and river views.
For their ceremony, Blaine & Sean planned a beautiful ceremony with the mansion as their backdrop followed by their reception in the stunning pavilion. Their reception had such gorgeous florals, gold tones, and classic touches.
Some of my favorite moments from their day were the rain holding off (thank you), Blaine & Sean’s first look, and Blaine’s first look with her grandparents (10/10 recommend). Enjoy!
