Mary Ann & Jordan’s fall wedding at The Joinery Chicago was an absolute pleasure to be a part of. From the beginning, they had envisioned an intimate, candlelit evening surrounded by friends and family. These two planned their entire wedding themselves, working with local vendors and even incorporating some DIY aspects. I loved seeing their vision come to life!

It was important to Mary Ann and Jordan that their wedding day feel like a true representation of themselves as a couple. Similarly, they wanted to find a way to honor those who were there in spirit. Every detail had its purpose! In other words, much thought went into making this day what it was.

Mary Ann’s words:

“We’re figuring out a way to get married that feels really good and natural for us. So far, that means getting married near our home in Logan Square, planning a really great dinner, lots of drinks, including one in honor of my dad using his super cheap scotch, live music – ideally, a great big, fun, loud dinner party.”

We spent the afternoon taking photos around the neighborhood, including at Gaslight Coffee Roasters where they had their first date! A night photo at Logan Theatre was also a must. That evening, Mary Ann and Jordan exchanged vows by candlelight, officiated by Jordan’s uncle. The celebration that followed continued well into the night! It was a big, fun, loud dinner party indeed… in the best way possible!

Mary Ann and Jordan: Thank you again for having me in November! I really enjoyed getting to know you both and wish you nothing but happiness in your future together 🙂
