julie + sean: Wedding at Bergmann’s on Lombard

Julie & Sean’s wedding at Bergmann’s was definitely a photography highlight for me this summer – these guys know how to throw a great party with great style! As a guest, this is definitely the type of wedding you’d love to attend. We started the evening with a quick half-hour couple portrait session on the streets outside Bergmann’s, followed by family formals. We then headed straight into the evening wedding reception. It was a casual stand-up reception, all while keeping it classy and fun. Half-way through the evening Julie and Sean got married in a romantically-lit room off to the side in front of all their friends and family, followed by some dancing and partying. I was particularly thrilled to hear that DJ Mama Cutsworth was going to be there. So fun! She played some Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Bobby Darrin, and what I thought was the best wedding first dance song ever: Slow Show by the National (I love that band!). Oh, and did I mention the DRESS?! I’m a big fan of short wedding dresses, and I was pretty excited to see Julie in hers. It looked amazing on her! All in all, everything totally reflected them as a couple and it made for a perfect Friday night wedding celebration! There were a lot of awesome people behind the whole event, some of which I thought were worth mentioning: Venue: Bergmann’s on Lombard DJ: Mama Cuttsworth Bride’s skirt and top: Jason Wu, Belt: Oscar de la Renta Shoes: Jimmy Choo Hair: Kitty, Berns and Black Make up: Joanne, Edward Carriere Groom’s suit: Harry Rosen, Shoes: Ferragamo Wedding planners and decor: Soirée Event Planning Wedding Commissioner: Patricia Simko Flowers: McDiarmid Flowers Congratulations Julie and Sean! I had a lot of fun with you guys and I’m so glad to have been a part of it. All the best to you in the many years to come!
