Rainy Chicago Rooftop Conservatory Wedding | Loredana & Isaac

Jennifer Boris — Tue, 04 May 2021 20:21:40 +0000

On a rainy spring day, Loredana & Isaac were married in a historic church in downtown Chicago. Their original wedding plan was a destination wedding in Sicily with family & friends from the US & Italy joining in to celebrate, but with the pandemic, they decided to pivot and get married in the city they call home. The couple got ready in their perspective suites at the Waldorf Astoria while rain fell down outside. Loredana’s mom buttoned her into her beautiful deep v beaded lace floral wedding dress with a detachable train from Leah da Gloria and Loredana placed her beautiful pearl drop Chanel earrings in her ears. After the church ceremony & photos on the Loop Bridges & at the Civic Theater, guests arrived to the rooftop glass conservatory at Gibson’s Italia along the Chicago River for the reception to toast to and celebrate the newlyweds!

Romantic Detroit Wedding | Courtney & Angela

Angela & Courtney wed in early April just outside of Detroit. Angela, in a beautiful Essense of Australia dress from Kleinfeld Bridal & Courtney, in a chic custom designed white jumpsuit with train, shared a sweet first look in their hotel suite in Detroit that had Angela wiping back tears. The couple also added a fun element to their wedding style – matching sparkly Jimmy Choos! Silver & pink ombre heels and pink bow flats for Angela & gold bow mules for Courtney. The Detroit Public Library’s beautiful Italian Renaissance style architecture served as an elegant backdrop for their couples and bridal party portraits. While a Colony Club wedding in Detroit was plan A, the pair had to pivot not once, but twice, and ended up celebrating with a beautiful waterfront wedding in Wyandotte. Both of their dads walked them down the aisle and their sweet dog also took part in the celebration wearing her own white wedding dress with long train! After vows were exchanged under a gold hexagon floral adorned arbor with a sleek neon sign bearing their married last name and champange was popped out by the water, there were happy tears all around as their nearest & dearest toasted the newlyweds!

Intimate Royal Park Hotel Conservatory Wedding Photos | Lindsey & Andrew

After a crazy 2020 year, love prevailed in late February. Surrounded by immediate family & their closest friends and flanked by columns of lush, fresh white garden roses and greenery, Lindsey & Andrew exchanged vows in the beautiful green glass conservatory at their Royal Park Hotel wedding. French blue touches dotted the clean, crisp white & gold color scheme. While Lindsey was the definition of a timeless bride, her stunning pearl illusion sleeved wedding gown and matching veil designed by Hayley Paige modernized the classic bridal look. The Ambrosia Rabbit designed a stunning, luxe stationery suite for the couple that delighted their guests senses via touch by incorporating different textures, including embossed velvet, smooth golden wax seals bearing the couples wedding monogram and a pearl dotted band tying everything together. A personalized touch on the cake was a replica statue of their dog nibbling the bottom layer, complete with the tiniest piece of missing cake & frosting on his nose. Emotion filled the day as tears were wiped & laughs were stifled as loved ones joined together and celebrated the start of Lindsey & Andrew’s legacy together. And one of the most adorable parts of the day, Lindsey’s flower girl getting caught in her veil when a wind gust blew through.

Magical Winter Masonic Temple Detroit Wedding | Ashleigh & Bill

Jennifer Boris — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 01:10:33 +0000

On a chilly December afternoon, Ashleigh & Bill said I do surrounded by just their nearest & dearest in the stunning multi-story chapel at their Detroit Masonic Temple wedding. Covid forced them to cut their guests list down and then their reception portion of the day had to be cancelled just a few days before the wedding due to changing guidelines, but love prevailed & Ashleigh & Bill still had the most stunning day in the city. The bride wore a timeless dress from The Wedding Shoppe with modern touches: a deep illusion neckline v and a removable train of lace appliqué flowers woven into the different layers while the groom donned a custom Oliver Wicks tux. Massive amounts of white roses adorned Ashleigh & her bridesmaids’ bouquets from Viviano Flower Shop and they popped against the sleek black bridesmaids dresses… the perfect chic and elegant winter wedding color combo! Despite the scaled back wedding day, Ashleigh & Bill’s Best Men & Maid of Honor still toasted them with champagne after the ceremony & the two of them snuck away from their guests to the beautiful soft pink and gold ballroom where their reception would have been held to share a private first dance before we were escorted up to the roof for twilight photos with the city lights sparkling in the evening glow behind them. But my favorite part of the day, seeing Ashleigh & Bill exit to the cheers of love, excitement and well wishes from their immediate family & bridal party while confetti flew in the air. The most picture perfect moment to commemorate a picture perfect day.

Basilica of St. Mary Intimate Wedding | Angela & Dave

Jennifer Boris — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 01:29:02 +0000

Angela & Dave were married in November surrounded by just their closest family & friends. They moved their big Detroit Athletic Club wedding to next year, but still wanted to get married on their original wedding date and not have to wait to become husband & wife! Angela chose to save her actual wedding dress for the big wedding celebration next year and instead wore a beautiful puff sleeve chiffon gown to their church ceremony while Dave wore a super sleek and fashion forward blue windowpane suit! After a first look outside of the church (isn’t that arched entryway stunning!?) and capturing bride & groom portraits, we headed inside to get these two married!! Angela’s dad walked her down the aisle to where Dave was waiting for her with the biggest smile on his face! After a beautiful ceremony, they were pronounced husband & wife and officially married!!

Angela & Dave, I hope you love these images from your wedding day!! I’m so excited you were still able to get married this year and cannot wait to capture round two for you next year at the DAC!!! It’s going to be amazing! Much love, Jen. xx

Romantic, Dusty Rose Grosse Pointe War Memorial Wedding Photos | Calsey & Ken

Calsey & Ken were married at the end of October at a beautiful ceremony at the historic Ste. Anne de Detroit church in Detroit followed by a gorgeous tented Grosse Pointe War Memorial wedding reception out on their back lawn. Even though the July Colony Club wedding they dreamed of had to change shape, plan B was just perfect & so beautifully done!! Ines & Marie designed a beautiful dusty rose hued reception with smilax and bistro lights draped from above and a stunning watercolor cake from Bella e Dolce shined in the center! Studio Terrain designed exquisite, unstructured floral arrangements that tied everything together!

The wedding day started at the Westin Book Cadillac downtown where Ken & Calsey got ready with their wedding party! Calsey’s mom & bridesmaids helped her into her dress and my favorite moment of the morning was the sweet first look Calsey shared with her dad & the tears he shed upon seeing her in her dress for the first time. After capturing photos of Ken & his groomsmen downtown, we headed to the War Memorial to photograph Calsey & her bridal party on the iconic back steps of the estate! Their ceremony took place at one of the most beautiful, historic churches in Detroit, the Ste. Anne de Detroit and after they were pronounced husband & wife, they excited the church to cheers from their bridal party & family members!! After capturing some bride & groom photos of them in front of the church’s beautiful arched doors as the sun set, it was time to head to the War Memorial to continue the celebration!

Calsey & Ken, thank you for trusting me to capture your wedding day! It has been such an honor to get to know you both, from your DIA engagement photos with the cutest coffee date after to your beautiful wedding day! Wishing you both a lifetime of love & happiness!!! Much love, Jen. xx
