It’s been more than a year since I’ve been able to blog another wedding post! 2021 was a wild year trying to get both 2020 AND 2021 events in. I’m finally just now being able to sit down and blog a beautiful SE Asian wedding I shot about 8 months ago in a beautiful resort styled forest, Hyatt Lodge Oakbrook !

Our beautiful bride was Anjali, who had dreamed of getting married at this location since she was a little girl, and watched her dad work on this beautiful campus. It’s so unique getting to explore different parts of Chicago and Illinois, and this is a stunning location to get married, as they have gorgeous gardens, and beautiful lakes!

Our day started very early, and we got to celebrate and dance with the groom at his baraat, and witness a sun- filled ceremony.

Here is the first half of their day, and can’t wait to show you the beautiful reception the bride specially designed in PART 2!!

And now time for the first look!!

BARAAT time!!! (Always my favorite part of the entire day :)!

Dance. your. heart. OUT! :)

Meanwhile, the bridesmaids wish their beautiful bride the happiest life with her soon to be husband!
