Reception and Ceremony: Bristol Court Banquets
Well, this was my last wedding of 2009 and it could not have gone better. I originally met Blaire and Trevor when I shot their engagement session in Lincoln Park this Fall so I was already familiar with how the posed together and knew that we’d get some great shots on their wedding day. The weather was beautiful with fresh snow on the ground which fit perfect with their winter wonderland theme of silver and navy. Blaire got ready at Trevor’s house with a talented team of hair and makeup artists for the bride and her attendants. Trevor got there as they were finishing up so that I could capture their first look at each other which we did in the front yard and then it was often to the ceremony!
The reception and ceremony were held at the same location in Mount Prospect, Bristol Court Banquets. The ceremony was held in one room while the staff set up the reception in another. Afterwards we headed outside into the freezing weather to get some formal portraits of the couple and bridal party. Since the temperature outside was below freezing, we did them fast and efficiently and were done in 15 minutes with plenty of time left over for the bridal party to get ready for their grand entrance to the reception.
After a great meal, Blair and Trevor had their first dance as husband and wife before the dance floor was open for everyone. When guests weren’t dancing they enjoyed the chocolate fountain that was set up with different goodies to dip in the chocolate, such as pretzel sticks, marshmallows, and strawberries. Congratulations Blaire and Trevor!!
