Spring weddings are always beautiful, and Margaret and Kyle’s wedding at the Monte Bello Estate just outside of Chicago was no exception. First, their big day started with a gorgeous church ceremony, followed by a lively reception at the estate. Not even the rain could keep the timelessness away from this day. The bridesmaids looked stunning in champagne-colored dresses, while the groomsmen looked sharp in classic tuxes. This rainy timeless wedding in Chicago was truly exceptional.
Margaret and Kyle’s love story is the stuff of fairy tales. From kindergarten classmates to neighbors, and after a decade of dating, “FINALLY” was the buzzword of the day. Witnessing childhood friends walk down the aisle to each other is a rare and special experience, even as a Midwest wedding photographer. The joy on their wedding day was implacable, and it was a privilege to capture every moment of their rainy timeless wedding in Chicago.
The unrelenting weather forecast said there would be rain, and oh, was there! But Margaret and Kyle embraced it with open arms. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: rain on your wedding day can truly be the best. Margaret leaned into it and embraced it as any good Irish woman would do, saying, “It feels like Ireland.” Despite the rain, their spirits were high, and we got some great photos of this rainy timeless wedding outside of Chicago!
The couple’s friends and family celebrated their union with touching speeches, delicious food, and lots of dancing. Of course, rain didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits; instead, it added a unique charm to the day. The joy and excitement of Margaret and Kyle’s wedding were infectious, the memories timeless, and it was clear that everyone was having a wonderful time. It was truly a rainy timeless wedding Chicago could be proud of.
Photographing Margaret and Kyle’s wedding was a delight. From childhood friends to lifelong partners, their story is a beautiful reminder of the power of love and friendship. The Monte Bello Estate provided the perfect setting for their special day, and every moment was filled with happiness and celebration. These two are perfect. No notes!
