Jaclyn and Jay’s RPM Italian Chicago Wedding
There were so many reasons why Marty and I were so excited to photograph Jaclyn and Jay’s RPM Italian Chicago wedding! First of all, these two planned this wedding in record time, and every single detail was perfect! Jaclyn, how did you do it?! From the stunning details, to Jaclyn’s incredible gown, to the beautiful, sentimental accents (including Jaclyn’s grandmother’s wedding dress ribbons and grandfather’s cufflinks, attached to her bouquet), this wedding celebration was thoughtfully planned from beginning to end.
Second, as you can see, Jay is a highly decorated officer, and Jaclyn’s career is equally impressive. Their family’s military legacy and their commitment to integrity make these two an especially special couple. I loved photographing the photographs and memorabilia from Jay’s grandparents. Marty and I are so thankful for the women and men of the military who give so much for our country. To say that we were honored to capture this wedding day is a huge understatement.
And finally, Chicago is such a meaningful place for Jaclyn, and it was so much fun to watch her plan her wedding day around so many of the city’s landmarks that have played an integral part of her life! From the former CNA building (where Jaclyn’s mom worked for 40+ years), to the Financial District (where Jaclyn always dreamed about bringing her husband on their wedding day), to RPM Italian (her go-to restaurant when she lived in River North)… Jaclyn and Jay’s wedding day was a tribute to their past, as well as a welcoming of their future together as husband and wife. What a dream!
Jaclyn and Jay — I’ll say it again: we were honored to have the chance to photograph your beautiful wedding day! Thank you for welcoming us into your lives. We are so excited for you two as you start this new adventure together!!
