Jon & Clare got married on March 22, 2014. Their wedding website had a quote, that I believe explains this couple so perfectly.
"With our love, we could save the world." George Harrison."
You can see through their images, how their love for one another is unconditional and you cannot, not smile while you look at them with each other.
We started off the day with the Clare, her mom & her bridesmaids getting ready at the Double-Tree Alsip. Everyone was so calm & collected!
Being a Chicago Blackhawks Fan, I obviously loved Clare's garter!
Jon, the Groom, quickly got ready at their apartment in Lombard, and then headed to a local favorite bar (Jt's Porch Saloon & Eatery) to finish off groomsmen photos.
Ceremony was extra special, the Groom's Father was the Priest that married them.
The moment before the Father of the Bride walks his daughter down the aisle, is one of my favorites. Clare, stopped at the beginning of the aisle, and took it all it. You can see below, how amazing it was. It's your day, take your time, and do what you want!
Bridal Party consisted of Friends & Family Members.
It's always great running into past Bride & Groom's. {Sarah & Brian, November 2013}
First Dance Song: God Gave Me You- David Barnes
Clare is apart of The Dennehy School of Irish Dancing, some Irish dancers & bridesmaids took part in the dancing as well!
The Bride is an Irish Dancer. How awesome is it that she even danced at her own wedding & in her wedding dress! It was definitely a crowd pleaser! Everyone loved it! Clare did an amazing job, and her husband Jon, was cheering for her the whole time!
Even the Groom loves to dance!
At the end of the night, Buddy's Special Events was a big hit! Thanks to Mary for letting us capture you checking out the fabulous hot dog stand!
