Old Hollywood. Take me BACK, amiright?

Rachel and Kevin did an amazing job of transporting their guests (and this lucky photographer!) right back to the gilded age with their winter wonderland extraordinaire wedding. Think soft candlelight, warm golden hues. Rich greens, puffs of baby's breath. A dashing groom and a bride so exquisite it's as if Jean Harlow herself dressed her. And all of this was perfectly situated against Lincoln Park's art deco, historic venue, Cafe Brauer.

It was, in a word, a masterpiece.

Rachel and Kevin's love story is quickly becoming the modern-American tradition. They found each other online after careful consideration. When their eyes locked for the first time, that was it. They swept each other off their feet and swiftly down the aisle.

Elegance aside, the day was cold. COLD. Chicago February in full blast. The bridal party was, however, fearless as they braved through their portraits, all seemingly unfeeling of the elements thanks to their lux furs and the couple's contagious, radiating love.

I'm going to stop before I cheese myself out (though it's hard to do) and let the photos speak for themselves.
Thanks to this wonderful couple for the exceptional honor of capturing their perfect day!
