We can’t believe its been a whole year since this wonderful couple’s October wedding.  They began planning it in early 2020.  Then, like so many other couples, they had to pivot — adjusting their plans multiple times — due to Covid-19.  Still, they were determined to stick with their intended date.  So, instead of a chapel ceremony at Loyola University, they opted for a smaller gathering at Claire’s home church in Western Springs, followed by an intimate backyard reception with their closest friends and family.  The day was filled with bright florals, gorgeous autumn landscapes, soft light, joyous laughter, and truly genuine love.  Claire and Stephen made it incredible, because their love, determination, friendship, and flexibility made it possible.  So, happy anniversary Stephen and Claire!  We think you can do anything together!  See more at Chi Thee Wed.
