Rebecca + Brad :: Morton Arboretum Wedding

Posted on:
23 September 2009

Becca and Brad were my last of three wedding weekends in a row at the lovely Morton Arborteum. I was surprised by how different the events at Morton felt for each couple—a really relaxed outdoor ceremony and fun reception for Jill + Mike, a beautiful chic and preppy vibe for Meg + Mat and a reception that was punctuated by both touching moments and an absolute party for Becca and Brad. Becca and Brad both have lovely families and friends, and the day was filled with such a sense of excitement and joy, despite the day starting off with a dress malfunction involving salad dressing. Add in an incredibly fun birdseed sendoff and a jam-packed dance floor, and you get a wedding that was a pleasure to shoot.

Such a beautiful wedding!  Love the shot of the bridal party on the steps.

Does anyone know where the mother-of-the-bride dress in the photo with the high-fives is from?  It’s gorgeous and would look great on my mom too!

A beautiful wedding indeed, and lovely pictures!  The mother-of-the-groom got her gorgeous dress (Nine West) at Carson Pirie Scott, off the rack.  Looks like it was custom made just for her!

In it something is. I agree with you, thanks for an explanation. As always all ingenious is simple.
