Laura & Dante


Laura & Dante married on November 20, 2010 at St. Andrews Church and had their reception at the W Hotel on Lakeshore.

Though it was a little cold, it was a gorgeous day! Here are some of our favorite photographs! To see more photos from their big day, please visit our facebook fan page.

We ventured to the top of the Sear's Tower (Willis Tower) for this shot.

Laura & her bridesmaids look like they just walked off the Sex in the City set!



Laura & Dante love ice-skating together, so it was only fitting to get this photo by the Millenium Park Ice Rink.

Every wedding seems to have a moment where something doesn't go perfectly to plan. It's one of those moments that are great to laugh about later. Laura & Dante's big day happened to also be the night of the Lights Ceremony downtown. With a wrong turn in the limo, we were stuck and unable to get to the reception. We decided to make way for the bride through the crowd and convince the police to let us cross in the middle of the parade. Thankfully everyone was able to make it safely to the reception. 


One thing we absolutely loved about the reception was the use of purples and blues. We created this color palette to show off all the beautiful colors. We also loved the candy table, which was provided by Chicago Wedding Candy Buffet

Laura & Dante enjoyed the wonderful speeches that were both funny and sweet. Including Laura's love of Christmas (Dante proposed under the Christmas tree last year) and her need to listen to the New Kids on the Block's Christmas album every year. 

The beautiful cake, by tipsy cake with Laura & Dante dancing! 

Everyone continued to dance the night away!

Congratulations Laura & Dante!

Cheers!

Sarah & Heather

Here are some of our favorite images from the night!







































































Bern & Keith are fans of the pinky hand hold..too cute!
























The dance lessons paid off as Keith spun Bern all around the dance floor!







































































Keith saw how much fun the band was having, that he had to jump in on the drums...
























The Connexion Band, rockin' in out!















































I had to post these next photos - too funny!






































































All in all - it was a great night!

Congratulations Keith & Bernice!
