Jaclyn and Paul met when she was a sorority girl and he was the "house boy" in college! Although they knew of each other, they didn't actually start dating till they reconnected after college. After their reconnection, the two felt like old friends and their romance quickly bloomed. They spent their days enjoying breweries around Chicago and spending time with their puppy, Kobe. These two incorporated this as a unique wedding experience into their big day!

As soon as we starting chatting with them, we knew that Jaclyn and Paul were some of the most joy-filled people we had met. Paul was a self described "cry-er" and we knew that there wedding day would be a day filled with happy tears and the biggest smiles!
The day started with Paul's emotional reading of Jaclyn's letter to him while Jaclyn shared intimate moments of joy with her mom during getting ready. And when Jaclyn's dad walked into the room for his first look with his daughter there was not a dry eye to be found. Of course, during portraits Kobe made an appearance!
One of our favorite moments of the day was the time that Jaclyn and Paul built into their timeline to grab a beer from the tavern down the street. Sharing beers together has been such a big part of their relationship so they took some time to connect and do something that they loved when they were dating! Carving out some "you" time during your wedding day is something that I recommend to all of our couples. Your wedding day goes so fast and so even taking 15 minutes together to just be excited and do something that is meaningful to you can bring into focus your whole day.
Laughter, love and SO much joy permeated the reception. They ended the night dancing with all of their favorite people and celebrating. It was a day to remember for a lifetime. What a fun day and we loved getting to see their unique wedding experience at the brewery unfold!
