RHIANNA + RUBEN│A Sage Green Wedding at Concorde Banquets | Kildeer, Illinois

What a way to close our wedding season for the year. As they say "We went out with a bang!"

Rhianna and Ruben celebrated their "I Do's" in the most beautiful way. Who knew that sharing English class together in high school would turn into a Happily Ever After. Ten years and Two daughters later start a whole new beginning for our couple.

As Rhianna walked down the isle of Irving Park Lutheran Church, Ruben couldn't help but let his eyes fill with tears of love and joy as soon enough he would be holding his beloved bride's hand. Rhianna wore a beautiful white gown with the most perfect lace-trimmed veil.

Our bride and groom wrote and read their own vows. Something so beautiful yet intimate. As they read, it was as if no one else was in the same building. At that moment, it was just the two of them.

After a beautiful ceremony, we had the pleasure to be able to capture the fun and loving couple in a more natural environment. Showing off how they love being themselves with each other and of course accompanied by their gorgeous little blessings, Haley and Emma.

Seeing those photos of their little family was near perfection, almost as if they were the family models you see in-store frames. Only their happiness was real and raw.

The venue, Concorde Banquets in Kildeer, IL was something out of a dream. When looking for a place to have their reception, Rhianna and Ruben knew this would be the place the minute they laid eyes on it. They say a little goes a long away, and we think that when it comes to decor it, simple goes along away. The natural greens that both Rhianna and Ruben chose to decorate the venue were absolutely stunning.

Accents of gold highlighted every corner in the room. From table cards to the most unique guest book. There was nothing short of beautiful.

As the night continued the bridal party approached the microphone. We heard emotional speeches from both maid and matron of honor as well as the best man. These speeches only showing us that our bride and groom are not just lived by their family, but by their friends too.

Both daughters, Haley and Emma surprised Rhianna and Ruben with a cute surprise dance. After showing off their moves the dance floor lit up with friends and family dancing.

Its always sad knowing we shoot our last wedding of the year, but we couldn't have imagined capturing any other wedding than Rhianna and Ruben's.

Cheers to the Newly Weds!
