Tinley Park Winter Wedding

Chicago Gaelic Park

Jon and Jennie rang in the New Year at their Tinley Park winter wedding at Chicago Gaelic Park surrounded by all of their family and friends. What is better than having a new spouse to kiss at midnight?!!

I first connected with Jon & Jennie through Jon’s sister, Sam when our kids were in a musical together. I love when couples find me through mutual friends, because that usually means we have something in common and will get along well.

When we met up for their engagement photos, it was cold and windy but that didn’t stop them from having fun! They brought a few props to celebrate that they were getting married on New Year’s Eve, and Jennie’s coat was the perfect (warm) addition to the photos. Jon and Jennie laugh easily and have such a sweet, playful relationship. I knew their wedding day was going to be a blast.

I started the day at Jennie’s suite where she was getting ready with her girls. I photographed their details, complete with Jennie’s shoes embroidered with their dogs faces on them. Jennie’s tweed strapless dress from Anthropologie Weddings was stunning, and the perfect dress for a winter wedding. The ring bearers proudly surprised her with socks that has a picture of Jon and Jennie on them. Jon was getting ready at his grandmother’s home, where my second photographer captured all of the guys and Jon with his sisters.

While it was cold and raining most of the day, we were able to do almost all of their photos outside in downtown Tinley Park where Jon proposed to Jennie in front of the giant Christmas Tree. We were able to take a photo at the very spot of the proposal right before heading across the street to one of their favorite pubs before heading to the ceremony.

Officiated by a dear friend, the ceremony was beautiful with personal vows and the most adorable ring bearers and flower girls. The night continued with cocktail hour, dinner, and then the moment everyone had been waiting for . . . the dancing! We even got everyone on the dance floor before I left for the night for one giant group picture.

Jon and Jennie, it was such an honor to celebrate with you and capture your beautiful day. I wish you a lifetime of fun adventures with your favorite people.
