Naperville, IL Wedding Photography

When I envision what my 5-year-old daughter's wedding is going to look like far (far!) into the future, I imagine it looking much like Geoff & Stephanie's wedding: full of class and glam, and all that is pink and sparkly!! Stephanie's details were a perfect reflection of who she is, a balanced blend of fun, beauty inside and out, and nostalgia. Stephanie is warm and bubbly, with an infectious joy and enthusiasm that is hard to resist (amiright, Geoff?? ;) ;) ;) ). It's impossible to not have a good time around her and Geoff, and throw in the people from their insanely fun wedding party (some of whom were in Marta & Anthony's wedding last year!!) and it was no surprise that their wedding day was a rockin' good time!!

Congrats again you two!! Blessings!

Favorite wedding day memory?

We had so many favorites! During the ceremony, Deacon Joe read aloud the love letters we had written to each other before our wedding day. They were so heartfelt and our family and friends loved hearing them. Another great part of the day was when we were on the party bus going to and from photos. Despite the lack of A/C on our sweltering wedding day, our bridal party still had a blast. We have such an amazing group of friends and it was wonderful to spend some time just hanging out with them.

Is there anything you would have done differently?

Stephanie: Definitely not. It was perfect.

Geoff: I don't think so. Nailed it!

Best piece of advice for brides and grooms?

Stephanie: Stress happens. Not everything is going to be exactly how you planned or envisioned your big day together. Make the choice to let problems and hurdles roll off your back those last two weeks before the wedding and the day of. The end goal is to marry your best friend and you want to enjoy every moment.

Geoff: Get stuff done early. It'll make the end of planning way easier and less stressful.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

Riviera Maya in Mexico! We decided to take a serious vacation instead of traveling. After all of the planning and the big day, it was wonderful to arrive at our all inclusive resort, Valentin Imperial Maya, with everything paid and taken care of. We did check some items off of our bucket list though! A whole day was dedicated to exploring Chichen Itza's Mayan ruins and cenotes. We also learned how to scuba dive in Cancun!! That was probably our favorite part. Take us backkkkk!
