Noelle and David’s EPIC wedding at Riverside Receptions in Geneva Illinois was seriously just such a well-thought-out and fun day. When talking to Noelle and David before their wedding day, and asking them about what they’re looking forward to most on their wedding day, time and time again they just reiterated they were just looking to have a good time with the people they love the most. So keeping that in mind when planning out their wedding day, yes they wanted a lot of the traditional photos but, ultimately they cared about their guest’s experience as well as their own throughout the wedding day.

Geneva Winter Wedding

Noelle and David planned their day so that they could spend as much time with their loved ones as possible. We started off their mornings getting ready with their wedding parties before meeting at a cute little roadside chapel for their ceremony. I was able to spend time with both of them getting ready, and documenting some fun moments between friends before their ceremony. After the ceremony, we loaded up the party bus and headed to Riverside receptions for some wedding party photos and to drop off their things.

Their Geneva Wedding Reception

It just so happened that their Geneva wedding venue was only a few blocks away from their favorite bar. They spend many nights there with all of the members of their wedding party, so it only made sense to head over to the bar for part of their wedding day. We hung out at the bar in the booth they shared so many laughs with their friends and the owner of the bar who LOVES the two of them even let them come behind the bar and pour drinks for their friends!

The rest of their reception was a blur. We had SO much fun celebrating these two and they put together the best wedding vendor team I may have ever worked with. There was nothing but fun throughout the evening and I am just so happy to have been able to be a part of their wedding day.
