Anny + Eddie’s wedding at Wilder Mansion was just perfect. The skies were blue, the breeze was gentle and you’d be hard-pressed to know we were in the middle of a global pandemic other than this group was SO respectful of wearing their masks and partying ever so responsibly.
intimate pandemic wedding in arlington heights
So, the world changed a little bit last year, but that didn’t stop Amber + Chris from having a blast at their intimate pandemic wedding! When Covid hit, they switched their original plans and made way for a backyard soiree at their home in Arlington Heights. They proved once and for all that all you need is love (and clear skies doesn’t hurt either).

Believe it or not, 2020 wasn’t all bad. There are some sweet moments where we got to party like it was 2019, and Miriam + Bobby’s glamorous Assyrian and Palestinian wedding at Galleria Marchetti was definitely one of them.

When Covid hit, every couple planning a wedding had a tough decision to make. Katie + Matt were one of those couples and they couldn’t wait to get married! Their big Thalia Hall reception may be postponed until next year, but that didn’t stop them from tying the knot — and celebrating! They went full steam ahead with a sweet, little Covid wedding ceremony in Pilsen followed by an outdoor gathering at a family home in Highland Park and we couldn’t love it more.
