Wedding Stylist Erin Carpenter

A-New-Leaf12 Wedding Stylist Erin Carpenter

I am so honored to introduce my amazing friend, stylist Erin Carpenter.  Along with makeup artist Sonia Roselli we photographed this engagement inspiration shoot at one of my favorite wedding venues. A New Leaf combines floral design with a unique event space.  Their urban garden is an oasis in the middle of a bustling city neighborhood. Kelly Whitesell and Elizabeth Del Castillo of the clothing boutique Eskell were gracious enough to provide the clothing for our shoot.

Erin offers special styling services for the bride-to-be. From engagement photo session to the “Big Day,” Erin’s bride is the picture of her most stylish self…just in time for the most photographed days of her life. Whether you need a fashion-forward, figure-flattering look for your rehearsal dinner, a shopping strategy for your head-to-toe wedding ensemble, a style advocate at your bridal salon appointment, or the perfect “not your grandmother’s sequined suit” ensemble for the mother of the bride, Erin delivers with style and a sense of humor.

Chicago Weddings: The Peninsula Hotel

Peninsula-Wedding31 Chicago Weddings: The Peninsula Hotel Mollie and Jeff Had a gorgeous wedding.  They are an elegant couple, who chose some of the finest venues in Chicago to reflect their style.  Decor and atmosphere are important aspects to a wedding day.  However, they quickly lose their prominence when you consider what a wedding celebration is really about.  The above photo of Jeff watching Mollie come down the aisle is one of my all time favorite moments.  You can see everything about their love and commitment in his expression.  Authentic moments of joy and the love shared by family and friends are what make your wedding day an extraordinary experience.

The Peninsula Hotel in Chicago is an exquisite location for a classic Chicago wedding.  Guests are treated to spectacular views of Michigan Avenue during the terrace cocktail hour and also when the panoramic views from the ballroom are revealed.   Perfect summer peonies and hydrangeas from Dilly Lilly completed the look of  this sophisticated and summery affair.Peninsula-Wedding8 Chicago Weddings: The Peninsula Hotel Peninsula-Wedding9 Chicago Weddings: The Peninsula Hotel Peninsula-Wedding10 Chicago Weddings: The Peninsula Hotel

My wedding day is coming up quickly!  One of the things I am most looking forward is walking down the aisle with my dad. I am so excited for “the big day!”
