I’m so excited and honored to share Jessie and Eric’s anniversary vow renewal with you guys – I hope I do it justice! Jessie and Eric are photographers here in Chicago, and I feel lucky to have gotten to know Jessie, Kelly from Fleur, Jaclyn, Jennifer, and Suzy from Lily Red Design this year! Jessie is an adorable person, inside and out, and the intimate anniversary shoot that this talented group of ladies put together is so special, I just know you are going to love it!
Jessie and Eric wanted to re-create a little bit of the magic from their wedding day 5 years ago. The group went to Michigan to celebrate, and Jessie and Eric renewed their original wedding vows on the beloved rug that was a wedding present from Jessie’s parents. Jessie’s bouquet, created by Kelly from Fleur and hand-tied with yarn, contained thistle (from the song that Jessie walked down the aisle to), cotton (from the Southern plantation where they were wed), and rosemary (to remember).
Suzy of Lily Red Design made paper treats, including a beautiful personal logo, a booklet of the wedding vows, and adorable chipboard menus.
The following Chicago wedding vendors contributed to Jessie and Eric’s anniversary celebration:
Photography – Jaclyn Simpson Photography and Jennifer Kathryn Photography
Floral – Fleur
Stationery – Suzy Rohan
Location – Michigan, near the Warren Dunes

It was such an incredible honor to witness the renewing of Eric & Jessie’s vows, and to play a role in capturing how their day unfolded. So thankful to have met two more amazing people in the industry and to call you friends. Kelly’s creativity continues to astound me, and it is always such a treat to see her artistry in every aspect of a shoot. Loved Suzy’s stationery, and was such a joy to shoot with Jaclyn on another project– she is such an inspiration! Amazing post Ami- you totally captured the spirit of the day. Grateful for everyone involved!! xoxo
