Jacqueline and Adam : Loyola University & Mansion at Valley Country Club Wedding

Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-104There are some weddings where I can feel the amount of love and dedication that went into planning it.  Jacqueline and Adam’s wedding was one of those weddings.  Their ceremony was held at the Loyola University chapel, where Jacqueline went to school, and the reception was at the gorgeous Mansion at Valley Country Club.  It was obvious that they wanted their day to be classy and elegant, while having the perfect amount of party thrown in, and I think they achieved exactly that.
Jacqueline and Adam met at an Irish pub during college, the same one that Adam took her back to for dinner on their 3-year anniversary….the night that he would ask her to marry him.  After dinner that night, he drove them to the same parking lot on the Loyola campus where they shared their first kiss.  When Jacqueline hugged him she could feel his heart pounding out of his chest.  He pulled out the ring box and said “I have a question for you”.  Obviously the rest of that went great because these two are now married!!
There were so many great moments throughout their wedding day.  From the daddy/daughter first look, to mom joining and the three of them standing there all holding hands, hanging out with some of the most awesome bridesmaids and groomsmen, Jacqueline sharing a moment of prayer right before walking down the aisle, the moment she appeared in the dooryway of the chapel and Adam saw her for the first time, the moment Jacqueline and Adam exited at the end of the night and saw the surprise vintage Rolls Royce waiting to take them away…..the list goes on and on.
Jacqueline and Adam are two smart cookies….with Jacqueline working for a law firm while awaiting her Bar results and Adam being a systems administrator for a small tech company….their smarts combined with their beautiful love for each other, I can only imagine what amazing things they are going to do in this life.  Jacqueline and Adam, thank you so much for sharing your love and wedding day with me.  It was truly an honor.  Now enjoy your photos!!  🙂Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-9Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-11Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-12Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-13Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-16Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-18Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-21Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-22Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-23Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-24Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-25Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-26Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-1Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-2Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-3Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-4Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-7Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-19Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-34Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-35Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-29Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-30Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-32Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-37Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-38Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-40Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-42Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-43Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-45Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-46Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-48Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-49Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-50Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-52Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-53Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-54Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-56Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-57Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-61Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-63Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-65Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-67Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-68Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-70Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-71Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-72Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-75Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-78DSC_6922Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-79Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-82Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-83Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-88Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-89Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-90Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-93Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-95Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-96Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-97Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-98Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-101Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-102Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-103Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-104Loyola Mansion Valley Country Club Wedding-107
