Only a few Chicago wedding venues offer discerning couples the best of both worlds.  The Ivy Room is a modern oasis in the heart of downtown Chicago.  The timeless elegance of an ivy enveloped garden was the perfect setting for Diana and Matt’s fall wedding.  The refined asthetic of April Joy Events used white and green floral arrangements to enhance this chic and modern venue.

I am always flattered when a photographer chooses me the photograph their wedding.  Diana’s photography is all about capturing special moments with friends and family.  One of the most exciting wedding day moments is when the bride and groom see each other for the first time.  Being a photographer, Diana knew the importance of making time for this moment and taking advantage of the early afternoon light.  Many wedding professionals prefer that the bride and groom schedule a “first look.” Diana and Matt devoted an hour of their wedding day to simply enjoy one another.
