Last Sunday, Elizabeth and Rexford celebrated their love in the most beautiful intimate wedding ceremony at Meson Sabika in Naperville, IL. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the day was filled with warmth, joy, and unforgettable moments. While there were so many memorable highlights—like Elizabeth toasting the day with her mom and sister, her jaw-dropping wedding dress, and the sweet mentions of their dog Archer (someone even brought him a gift!)—here are my top three favorite moments from their special day:
1. The First Look
Before arriving at the venue, Jordan and I took Elizabeth and Rex to a quiet part of Riverwalk Park in Naperville for their first look. The excitement was building as we drove Elizabeth to the park while Rex awaited her arrival. After setting up Rex and giving him instructions on when to turn around, I brought Elizabeth to meet her groom. As she walked up behind him and gently tapped him on the shoulder, the moment he turned around was pure magic. The joy and love in their eyes were unforgettable. We took advantage of the serene setting to capture some stunning bride and groom portraits before heading to Meson Sabika.
2. The Ceremony
Rev. Dave Angle conducted the ceremony, and I must say, it was one of the most engaging and fun ceremonies I have ever attended! Rev. Dave had a unique talent for entertaining the guests while maintaining the ceremony's personal and sweet moments. His humor and charisma had everyone in stitches, making the ceremony not only a celebration of Elizabeth and Rex's love but also a memorable experience for all who attended.
3. The Florals
The floral arrangements were a standout element of the day. They were simple yet elegantly crafted, resembling a beautiful mix of wildflowers with roses, dahlias, and ranunculus. The stems were left to flow organically, curving and drooping in a way that created a free-flowing garden aesthetic. This natural and unstructured look perfectly complemented the intimate and relaxed atmosphere of the wedding, adding an extra touch of beauty to the day.
Every moment of Elizabeth and Rex's wedding was filled with love, laughter, and beauty. It was a joy to capture these memories and be a part of such a special day. Congratulations, Elizabeth and Rex!
