University Club of Chicago wedding : Trina & Jeff
Posted Jan 18, 2012 / by Kevin / in Weddings / 7 Comments
Trina wanted a small, intimate Chicago wedding. Jeff wanted a WEDDING. The agreement was simple: Jeff had to handle dual roles at one time. While he was technically the groom, he also had to take on what typically is the bride's role and spear-head the planning and most of the decision making.

Jeff was fine with that. And it showed. It is rare I get a groom who is the thinker, planner and executor. He is well-organized, driven and knows what he wants. With the help of full-coordination from Melissa Phillips from Simply Perfect, the two transformed the University Club in Chicago into a beautiful space for a ceremony and wedding reception.
Trina? She was thrilled. Beyond belief. And as you will see, loved every minute of the day that her groom, Melissa and the slew of vendors threw for them. Congrats on the wedding, and a huge thank you for trusting me with the imagery.
Be well.
