I’m excited to share the unforgettable story of Carly and Mike’s wedding at Cantigny Park, a day filled with love, laughter, and resilience. Despite an unexpected storm, their celebration remained as beautiful as ever, proving that love always finds a way.

A Rainy Wedding Day Turned Magical

Carly and Mike originally planned for an outdoor ceremony on Cantigny Park’s picturesque grounds. However, as rain clouds gathered, they had to make a last-minute change. While Carly initially felt disappointed, the overwhelming support from family and friends reminded her that the setting wasn’t as important as the love they shared.

The Cantigny Park staff quickly executed Plan B, moving the ceremony to the Visitors Center. Thanks to their swift action, Carly and Mike exchanged vows in a warm and intimate setting, surrounded by their loved ones.

Capturing Love in Every Moment

Despite limited time for portraits due to the weather, we made the most of every shot. Carly, Mike, and their lively wedding party radiated joy, turning rainy-day challenges into unforgettable moments. Their energy and love for each other made every frame special.

A Celebration to Remember

Even with unexpected changes, Carly and Mike’s wedding was nothing short of magical. Their ability to embrace the moment showcased the true essence of their love. It was an honor to capture their story and preserve these cherished memories.
