Summer Shoreline Ceremony

Private Residence | Chicago, IL

Claire and Patrick's summer wedding began with a lakeside ceremony and tented cocktail hour at Claire's family home on Lake Michigan. They continued the festivities at The Arbory, with a vibrant color palette and whimsical wildflower-inspired florals reflecting their bright personalities.
