HYATT LODGE OAK BROOK WEDDING: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY: SEAN + CHRISTINA

If you frequent my Instagram @melissamariephoto (ok, you barely need to be on my Insta feed) to know I love me some coffee, donuts, (or cupcakes! Generally, anything with frosting. They had both!) and brunch. So to have a gorgeous brunch wedding at Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook with the sweetest couple, was the perfect fit. Another reason I love brunch weddings is the couple often has the most private of a first look. The sun is freshly rising, (thus soft glowly light) and the people have yet to. So it's all the more a feeling of it being "just them." There's plenty of time to celebrate through the day, but starting those first moments together ends up being really special.

Oh, and I'm totally stealing the idea of serving brunch right out of my Le Creuset, so cute & creative!
