Caroline + Ricky started dating their junior year of high school at Lake Zurich. Their ELEVEN year anniversary was this past June 27th just about a month before their new anniversary for the rest of their lives. They made it through years of long distance, and finally Ricky’s residency brought them back home to Chicago two years ago. On a trip with their pup, Cooper, at Caroline’s family’s lake house in Michigan – Ricky surprised her by proposing on the beach where the rest of her closest friends and family were waiting to celebrate along with them.

Their wedding was at one of our favorite wedding locations – Chicago Botanic Garden, and planned by one of the best in Chicago, Clementine Custom Events. The JTP Team (Nicki), took lead on this GORGEOUS day, and all of the photos are just stunning. I’m so happy to share some of our favorites from the day. Congrats and all our love to Caroline + Ricky!
