Maria and Peter met when they were students at DePaul University. After dating for 8 years they got engaged and were officially ready to tie the knot! These two are such a fun and goofy couple. They wanted a simple wedding (they were all good with getting married at City Hall but their families wanted something a little more traditional). So their City View Loft wedding was the perfect fit for that relaxed feeling while still being a more intimate wedding.

Maria started off the day getting ready at a gorgeous apartment in the city. But it wasn't the decor that blew us away. It was all the personal touches that were incorporated into her wedding attire. From the custom-made wedding dress from one of her best friends to her hair inspired by a copy of a Picasso her mom gave her for a gift, there was so many things on their wedding day that made Maria and Peter's wedding truly special.

With an early springtime wedding, Maria and Peter knew that rain and/or cold weather was a maybe so we came up with a plan to still have an outdoor feel for their photos while planning for the potential spring showers. Enter Garfield Park Conservatory! It was a wonderful spot and really matched the happy and joyful dispositions of Maria and Peter. 

This City View Loft wedding ended with some of the greatest speeches we've ever heard and some very precious moments, including a mother-daughter dance that then opened up the dance floor to the rest of the guests. It was a night that was full of love, extra giggles and of course a view of the Chicago city skyline that just could not be beat. So three cheers to this wonderful couple as they start their life together!
