This wedding was pure elegance from beginning to end. Lauren & Jake’s story is special… they moved up their original wedding date to have a small ceremony in Lauren’s home so that her grandmother in failing health could see them married. Because of this, one of the themes for the day was “I Do x2″ since this was their “second” wedding. There was a palpable excitement around the activities of the wedding and I could tell through all of it that Lauren & Jake are partners. True friends, true loves. The exclamation point on the beauty of the day was the gorgeous Cafe Brauer decked with floral creations by Stems and window coverings open to let the beautiful Lincoln Park Zoo lights shine in.
