Christine + Tom met at a friend’s surprise party in September of 2012. Their wedding day was a few weeks ago on a perfect Saturday in Chicago. Aside from being excited to marry her love, Christine was super excited about all of her little details. The floral decor at the reception, the cake from Amy Beck, and especially the sparkler send off at the end. And I think it all turned out beautifully. It was a stunning day – exactly what Christine + Tom had envisioned. Liven It Up Events and A Stem Above put it all together and made it work without a glitch. Congratulations to the newlyweds – thank you for being the sweetest to work with – and for envisioning pretty, pretty details that came to life for me to photograph – so much fun!!
