These two are huge lovers of outdoor activities. From wakeboarding and boating on the lake in the summer, to snowboarding and skiing in the winter, they do it all together and that is something they love doing as a couple! (just wait until you see their cake topper!!) But one snowboarding trip in December of 2018 would become one of their most memorable trips ever. They got to the top of the ski hill to get ready to descend down the hill and John got down on one knee to asked Rayanne to spend forever with him. The rest is history and they started planning for their summer wedding in August of 2019!
Rayanne and John said their I Do’s at the St. Agnes Church and held their reception at the gorgeous Chateau Del Mar in Hickory Hills, Illinois! This was my first time at this venue and it was jaw dropping! Floor to ceiling windows, marble floors, white walls, gold crystal chandeliers and with stunning views of the golf course! It was so gorgeous and their navy and silver table details just pulled it all together! From their wedding cake that was tiered with cannoli’s, the surprise dance from their wedding party, emotional speeches and everything in between, these two had a very memorable day! Thank you so much Rayanne and John for inviting me into your wedding day celebration! I had an absolute blast capturing these sweet memories for you and hope you love these images from your wedding day just as much as I do! Enjoy!
Pups on wedding days make my heart melt!! He wanted to be the star of the show, and he totally stole our hearts!
These bouquets were stunning!! I love the peach and blue colors!
^^ That GLOW!!! Love love love this one!!
^^ A HUGE favorite of mine from their day! This was moments before entering their wedding reception and this hallway was too gorgeous not to snap a photo in it!
After their first dances were over, the DJ called them back out onto the dance floor and sat them down. We all heard the first tunes of the song that started playing and everyone cheered! Their amazing wedding party surprised them with a choreographed dance to The Get Up by Blanco Brown and it was hilarious!!
What an amazing celebration!! Thank you again Rayanne and John for letting me be a part of your special day! It was incredible! Cheers to FOREVER!!
