This Chicago South Asian wedding was absolutely beautiful!! The moment Qunoot contacted me, I knew we will have such a special relationship. I felt so loved and appreciated during their two days celebration, like I was part of the family!!
We started the first day at the Bird Haven Greenhouse in Joliet. Qunoot and Akbar had wrote their own vows and they exchanged them before their first look. It was such a beautiful, emotional moment.

After their portraits, we went to Ashyana Banquets in Downers Grove for their Nikah ceremony and reception.

On their Walima day, we went back to the Bird Haven Greenhouse for more indoor photos. On their way to the reception, they wanted to stop at Five Guys for a burger, and if you guys know something about me, then you know I never say no to a good burger!!!

During their reception, they changed outfits, and had a second entrance. This time they were  followed by the Dragon. The dragon represents good luck, strength and health. And this dragon definitely knew how to put up a show!!! We ended the night with special dances and a packed dance floor.
