Katie & Sean’s Gorgeous Morton Arboretum Wedding

Dec 21

Katie and Sean met in high school during their Freshman honors geometry class, where Katie was very confused and Sean kindly let her copy his homework. They remained friends and only started dating in 2021 after spending time talking over Zoom during the pandemic. In November 2023, Sean surprised Katie by proposing in front of Mount Fuji while they were vacationing in Japan. Sean and Katie now live with their two cats, Zoey and Pedro Purrscal, and enjoy spending time with friends and traveling together.

I had the best time getting to know Katie and Sean at their pretty engagement session last Fall at The Morton Arboretum. Katie is so full of life and laughter and the love she and Sean share is so special, it was wonderful exploring the trails and spending time with them at the same spot where they would get married less than one year later. When their big day arrived Conrad, Ryan and I were all excited to celebrate this sweet. couple with their family and friends! Spirits were high when we arrived for getting ready photos and Katie looked absolutely gorgeous, she is one of those people who just radiates beauty from the inside and looked truly radiant as a bride. We left the hotel and made our way to the Thornhill Education Center at the Morton Arboretum where Katie and Sean had their first look and sweetly shared private vows with one another.

It was just a perfect Fall day and everything looked so beautiful, we were obsessed with the bridesmaids’ jewel-toned dresses and the stunning florals by the talented team at Piscasaw Gardens. Katie shared a really sweet moment with her Dad when he saw her for the first time as a bride not long before he walked her down the aisle. After the ceremony we were blessed with a gorgeous sunset before settling inside for an unforgettable night of food and dancing to celebrate the newlyweds. Katie and Sean treated their guests to a round of trivia during dinner hosted by Gabe Ortiz – Conrad, Ryan and I had so much fun playing and answering questions while we ate our delicious meal! This perfect day was filled with so much laughter and joy, we only wish we could do it all over again!
