Natalie and Brendan’s wedding took place on November 27th in Lemont, IL. Despite being a blustery day, their wedding couldn’t have been more beautiful! We started the day at Natalie’s house, where she and her bridal party got ready. The ladies were troopers as they agreed to head outdoors into the cold for some bridal party photos. They don’t even look cold — you all rocked it!

Next we headed to the church to meet Brendan and his groomsmen. We were greeted by the sound of bagpipes (Natalie’s surprise to Brendan). The following ceremony was lovely and the raw emotion as Natalie walked down the aisle was palpable.

We finished up their day at the beautiful Cog Hill Golf and Country Club. The cozy fireplace, wood walls, and beams made for the perfect wintery backdrop for their reception. As the guests began to arrive, the room filled up and newlyweds were introduced! Cocktails, dinner, dancing, and hours of merriment finished off this gorgeous day.

Congratulations, Natalie and Brendan!
