Monday, May 28, 2012 at 8:00 AM Happy Memorial Day! It is officially time to break out the summer outfits. Guys, we're talking to you today. For summer weddings, especially afternoon affairs, we suggest linens, light fabrics and light colors instead of traditional dark and heavy suits. If the wedding your attending is not strictly formal, try these numbers, and add a little flair to your casual-formal style.
Friday, May 25, 2012 at 3:55 PM Newlyweds Michelle and Mathew asked us to create custom photo "Thank You" cards to send to their guests after the wedding. We were excited to incorporate their spring blush and purple colors and bicycle wedding theme. As a full-service photography studio, we offer custom designed cards and save-the-dates, which can also be included in a package or ordered separately from wedding photography.
We were thrilled to also be a recipient in their wedding thank-yous too!

Sunday, May 13, 2012 at 12:40 PM Happy Mothers Day! Congratulations to our newest mother Tabitha (and papa Matthew), who had their first child born this spring, a baby girl named Adaline Rose. Tabitha is a dancer, so we loved making these dance-inspired portraits during her maternity portrait session.
Friday, May 11, 2012 at 8:00 AM Tony Mantuano is an internationally acclaimed executive chef/partner of several restaurants, including Terzo Piano at The Modern Wing of the Art Institute, and Spiaggia, which has the distinction of being Chicago's only four-star Italian restaurant.
The Kenosha, Wisconsin native was awarded the 2005 James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef Midwest, and was one of the champions on the Bravo television series, "Top Chef Masters." Mantuano specializes in Italian cuisine, and was even presented with the keys to the city of San Martino, Italy in recognition for serving authentic Italian cuisine in America. Spiaggia is also a favorite restaurant of President Barak Obama, who celebrated his election win there in 2008.
Spiaggia also has private events, and one of our recent newlyweds Rebecca and Christopher celebrated their wedding reception with a wonderful dinner by Chef Mantuano and Spaggia's impeccable staff.
Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at 8:01 AM Did you know that many "courthouse" weddings in Chicago actually take place in one of the city's most treasured architectural landmark buildings? On select Saturday mornings judges from the Marriage Court of Cook County perform weddings at The Chicago Cultural Center. Couples need to register in advance for their date and time.
This is exactly what newlyweds Carly and Mat did when they got married on a lovely sunny Saturday morning with a few guests in attendance. We also enjoyed strolling around Millennium Park for their wedding portraits.

For those planning a stylish courthouse wedding we made this inspiration board.
Friday, May 4, 2012 at 7:32 PM Mother's Day is almost here! We suggest framing a special moment between mom and daughter as a lovely gift idea. Candid and emotional moments are a nice complement to any home or office, and can add some variety to wall displays that may have more traditional posed portraits. Mix it up with some spontaneous moments and formal portraits!
Wedding Creativo offers a wide selection of frames with our Creativo Couture services, including custom framing like the samples shown below.
By the way, congratulations to several of the brides shown here who are now new moms!
