Real Weddings: Madeline + Audie

Madeline and Audie chose the Chicago History Museum as the venue for their classically elegant Chicago wedding. The bride’s gown, designed by Ines Di Santo, is the crown jewel of this wedding. It’s simply unbelievable, and combined with her gorgeous bouquet and lovely pink Loubouton shoes, this bride look is an all-time favorite.

David has a talent for gorgeous, and classic, black and white photography. I love the emotion he captured in each of these photos. Happy brides never go out of style, and this bride is clearly happy.
