Emily & Rickys Timeless Wedding at Armour House in Lake Forest, IL

This June celebration at Armour House has lived rent-free in our minds ever since — a day defined by timeless elegance, heartfelt details, and the sweetest couple. Photographed on both film and digital, it perfectly blended refined artistry with romantic storytelling. From sentimental red roses to heirloom jewelry and handwritten vow books, every design choice reflected intention and grace. The morning unfolded against marble architecture, where soft light highlighted classic Louboutin heels and delicate accessories, setting the tone for understated luxury.

The moment of their first look felt straight out of a storybook. Emily floated down the grand staircase as sunlight poured through the tall windows, wrapping the room in a soft, golden glow. When Ricky turned to see her, time seemed to pause — a quiet, emotional moment that spoke volumes. We continued with portraits throughout the estate, capturing both candid exchanges and timeless, editorial compositions. From the drama of the staircase to the romantic gardens outside, every frame told their story with elegance and authenticity. Emily’s cathedral-length veil trailed behind her like poetry in motion, its lace dancing softly in the overcast light — the perfect reflection of a day filled with beauty, meaning, and love.
