Amy and Matt's Fourth Presbyterian Church and The Drake's Gold Coast Room wedding is featured on Carats & Cake.
Enjoying Chicago and having fun with their friends and family was a top priority for Amy and Matt. The couple spent time with their bridal party before the ceremony, which turned into a private party full of siblings, close friends and lots of laughter.
Their wedding day was full of color, Chicago history, and lots of celebration. Close friends and family helped Brooke get ready in the breathtaking Princess Diana Suite at The Drake Hotel. The wedding party enjoyed the same beautiful views of Lake Shore Drive and Lake Michigan that many dignitaries have experienced in this historical suite over the years.
We feel fortunate to live and work in the beautiful, Chicago neighborhood of Logan Square, among many talented artists and entrepreneurs. We believe in the beauty of blending historic with modern. Built in 1916, our European style live-work building, is land-marked by the city of Chicago, full of character and modern style. It is a dream come true to have a charming studio, surrounded by beautiful boulevards, as the foundation of our creative endeavors.
"It is a pleasure to get to know our couples, become part of their inner circle, understand their connections, and hone in on what matters most. Every celebration has its own personality, vibe and feeling. To interpret and translate the feeling, love and joy, we look for the split-second glances, tender touches, belly laughs and genuine smiles. Emotionally connected, we sense magical moments; one must first feel, and then see to be able to interpret. This is the foundation of our creative process."
"Inspired by all art forms: paintings, architecture, fashion, cinema, music and food, we incorporate our sensibilities into everything we do. Blending emotional imagery with a modern and elegant viewpoint is how we tell very personal stories in a nuanced way. We do this so that you may savor your celebration, long after it ends, and remember those feelings forever. It would be our privilege to interpret your unique story."
