Timeless elegance, lush outdoor beauty met fun, spontaneous moments of laughter and joy at Keya and Austin’s summer wedding at Midlothian Country Club.
I bounced back and forth between the bride and groom until they both made their entrance on the beautiful outdoor ceremony deck overlooking the rolling golf course.

This outdoor ceremony beautifully honored the groom’s Persian heritage by incorporating meaningful traditions. Persian weddings are rich with symbolism, emphasizing love, unity, prosperity, and the joining of two families.
Austin and Keya’s humorous and emotional vow exchange is one I will always remember. The couple did a masterful job of weaving the time-honored customs and Persian traditions alongside these wonderful stories of how they met and where they plan to go from here.

Vibrant greenery and colorful seasonal flowers were all on display for outdoor portraits of the newlyweds at this premiere Chicagoland wedding venue.
I made sure to take a large wide shot to commemorate the venue for the couple along with a mix of elegant editorial styled wedding portraits and more candid and intimate moments of Austin and Keya interacting.
