The Pines Wedding & Events | Fall Wedding

Ally and Tommy’s wedding at The Pines was an absolute dream day!  Kari of White Loon Events was wonderful to work with, and ensured everything was flawless from start to finish.  The morning began with the ladies as they prepared with Sara of Saloni, Ashley of Hide Out Salon, Kirsten of Hive Salon, and Brandi of Opal Halo Studio.  We documented the details including rings from Your Day by Nicole, and captured photos of the bridesmaids in their matching PJs before Ally put on her stunning Sassi Holford gown from Annika Bridal.  She shared first looks with family and friends before heading out to meet her groom.

These two are the sweetest couple, and from the moment we met for their engagement session in Minneapolis last fall, we couldn’t wait to be a part of their big day!  Ally and Tommy exchanged private vows together, and we captured portraits including a few with their adorable puppy Peanut.  The wedding party joined us looking amazing in their Jenny Yoo dresses from Your Day by Nicole and their Calvin Klein suits from Men’s Wearhouse.  We headed inside for family photos before guests began to arrive.

It was a complete joy documenting Ally and Tommy’s beautiful ceremony surrounded by family and friends!  Afterwards, we captured group photos and stepped out for golden hour with the newlyweds before gathering for social hour and the reception.  The Event Center looked gorgeous with arrangements by Love Always Floral and decor from The White House Co.  Guests enjoyed dinner from Chef’s Table Catering, speeches, and a delicious array of desserts by Paisley and Dash.  The night came to a close with dancing hosted by Take the Leap Entertainment.  Ally and Tommy, your wedding was nothing short of perfection!  We hope Chicago was amazing, and that Europe will be an incredible adventure this coming summer!
