Joyful Chicago Wedding at Harborside International – Abeni & Antoine

Abeni & Antoine’s September wedding at Harborside International Golf Center was a day I will never forget! When I first heard from Abeni, they were most excited about celebrating with family, friends, and each other. She told me of Antoine’s theatrical Valentine’s Day proposal at a Blackhawks game (…I got to see photos, he did great!!). Abeni’s family pastor even flew in from Los Angeles to perform the ceremony. It was a joyful day for all!

As tradition will have it, the couple did not see each other before the ceremony. Antoine and Abeni got ready separately at the venue, and their first look coming down the aisle was all smiles 🙂 The wedding party stunned in burgundy and gray – not to mention their adorable Ring Bearer and Flower Girl! From the fashion to the florals and decor, their signature style and color palette were on point. Check out their stunning four-tier cake by Sugar FixĂ©!

Guests dined and danced the night away, keeping our Photo Booth busy, too! I had a chance to sneak outside with the Newlyweds for a romantic photo in the rain, and couldn’t be happier about it! These two were a joy to photograph and clearly loved by so many. What an absolute honor to be a part of this wedding day.

Abeni and Antoine: THANK YOU again for having me in September!! Wishing you nothing but happiness in the years to come!
