A Romantic Wedding Day at The Bridge Lemont

Love Story Wedding Photography at The Bridge Lemont | Sara + Anthony

As a Chicago wedding photographer, I’m blessed to capture so many beautiful love stories, but Sara and Anthony’s day at The Bridge Lemont was truly one for the books. From their heartfelt first dance to their magical sparkler exit, their wedding was a perfect blend of romance, joy, and unforgettable moments.

A Romantic Wedding Day at The Bridge Lemont: Sara & Anthony’s Love Story

Their journey began on a crisp Fall morning in 2015, where they met briefly at a Phi Gamma Delta football tailgate in Iowa City. Fast forward to 2017, when a spontaneous 16-hour road trip to Colorado brought them closer than ever. That trip was the spark that set the stage for a love story built on fate, connection, and little nudges from the universe.
Let’s dive into their wedding day and relive the magic together!

Starting Their Journey with Engagement Photos at North Avenue Beach and Lincoln Park

Before we even stepped into The Bridge Lemont, Sara and Anthony shared another special milestone: their engagement photos. We spent a golden afternoon capturing their love at North Avenue Beach and Lincoln Park. The way they laughed and moved together was effortless, a reflection of their deep bond.

These two have a natural chemistry that shined through every frame. The city skyline was breathtaking, but nothing could outshine the warmth of their love. It was the perfect prelude to their wedding day.

A Rustic-Chic Celebration at The Bridge Lemont

Walking into The Bridge Lemont, I could feel the energy in the air. This venue has such a warm, rustic charm with its exposed beams, glowing chandeliers, and cozy wooden accents. Sara and Anthony filled it with details that spoke to their personalities—soft lilac and grey tones, lush greenery, and golden touches that added an elegant sparkle.

Sara looked absolutely radiant in her lace gown with its flowing train. Her hair, styled in soft waves, was adorned with a delicate floral pin. Anthony, dashing in his tailored dark suit, couldn’t keep his eyes off her.

A Ceremony Full of Love and Meaning

The day began with an emotional ceremony at a grand, historic church. As they knelt together in prayer, surrounded by their closest family and friends, it was clear this moment was everything to them. Sara’s veil cascaded beautifully down the aisle, and Anthony held her hand tightly, promising to always be her partner and best friend.

The Dance Floor Came Alive

When it was time for the reception, The Bridge Lemont transformed into a glowing celebration of love. Their first dance to “Old With You” by Chuck Wicks had everyone smiling, but it was the way they looked at each other that made the moment unforgettable.

The guests cheered as they twirled across the polished wood floor, surrounded by glowing chandeliers and candlelight. The energy was infectious, and soon everyone joined them, dancing the night away.

A Magical Sparkler Exit

The night ended with a stunning sparkler send-off. Guests lined up outside The Bridge Lemont, creating a tunnel of golden light. As Sara and Anthony walked through, hand in hand, they stopped for a kiss that felt like the perfect punctuation to their incredible day.

This moment was pure magic. The laughter, the cheers, the glow of the sparklers—it was a beautiful reflection of the joy they bring to everyone around them.

Why Their Wedding Stood Out at The Bridge Lemont

What made this wedding truly special was the thought and heart Sara and Anthony put into every detail. From their engagement at Lake Geneva to the way they incorporated their families into the celebration, it was a day filled with love, connection, and meaning.

Their story, from a chance meeting in Iowa City to a lifetime of love, reminds us that fate works in wonderful ways.
