Real Weddings 2010 :: Michaela & Jim 10.16.10 {Part 1}

On October 16th, we had the great pleasure of working with Michaela & Jim, a fun loving couple from Chicago. When I first looked through the photos from their day, I was in complete and total awe! Thanks to their phenomenal photographer, Joey Kennedy, there are way too many good photos to share in just one blog post; therefore, Michaela & Jim's wedding will be a two part series. 

Michaela and her bridesmaids started the day off with hair + makeup at Caruso's hair salon in Upper St. Claire, PA. Following hair + makeup, the ladies made their way to the church to assist Michaela with putting on her gorgeous wedding gown. I don't use the word "gorgeous" lightly here either...her gown was absolutely stunning, and Michaela looked fantastic in it! Incase any one is wondering, her gown is a San Patrick Edimburgo. And as if her gown wasn't gorgeous enough, take a look at those killer "something blue" shoes!

Their heartfelt ceremony took place at St. Louise de Marillac, Michaela's family church. After the ceremony, guests were shuttled over to The Fairmont Hotel, where the reception was set to begin.

Stay tuned tomorrow for their must-see reception details, including a complete list of their wedding day vendors.
