Adam + Sarah were married on a summer evening in an outdoor ceremony on the grounds of the Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook, Illinois. The ceremony took place as an intimate group of family and friends surrounded them on the terrace overlooking the lake. Adam and Sarah stood under a lavishly decorated chuppah as they exchanged rings, stomped on the glass, and had their first kiss as husband and wife.  Continuing after the ceremony, the reception was held on the grounds as loved ones shared with the newly wed couple in a traditional Jewish Hora dance and lavish celebration at the campus’s reception venue beautifully decorated by Avant Gardenia.

Below are a few of my favorite from the images captured. Having known Sarah since college, this was an especially joyous wedding to celebrate and witness. Knowing Adam just a short time in comparison, he's everything and more one would wish for a good friend.  Congrats Sarah and Adam on starting your life as Mr. and Mrs.!
