Norah & Lewis’ Romantic Redfield Estate Wedding

Aug 12

Nora and Lewis share a remarkable connection, a love that knows no boundaries. When we had our first meeting about wedding photography Lewis came alone on behalf of his fiancé – in all the years we have been doing weddings we have NEVER had a groom come to a meeting without his bride! That tells you what kind of a guy Lewis is, he adores Nora and would do anything for her. She was busy studying for finals and Lewis wanted to help ease some of the wedding planning stress, from that first meeting I loved Lewis and was so excited to be a part of this wedding!

When the day arrived for Nora and Lewis’ wedding we met at the beautiful Redfield Estate at The Grove and met Nora upstairs with her bridesmaids and Mom getting ready. I took Nora’s bridal details downstairs and was so surprised when I unzipped her wedding gown garment bag and found her stunning black celestial gown by Flora & Lane. I knew from that moment that we were in for a special day celebrating Nora and Lewis, I just love that they honored their relationship and chose to do things their way!

The moment when Nora and Lewis first saw each other on their wedding day was filled with sweetness and emotion. We took pictures with their wedding party before lining up for their ceremony by the gazebo. It was really special to watch Nora and Lewis exchange their vows and participate in a traditional hand-fasting ceremony before they were pronounced husband and wife. After their first kiss they walked back down the winding path and shared their secret handshake together, it was just the cutest!!

After we finished with pictures at The Grove we made our way to Top Golf in Schaumburg for their reception. Conrad and I love a good challenge when it comes to making beautiful wedding photos, and we were pretty excited to do some couples photos of Nora and Lewis in and around Top Golf! We found plenty of beautiful light and reflective surfaces to play with, we love how those photos turned out! It was a great night spent celebrating this wonderful couple, we were happy to have been a part of this unforgettable day!
