Ali & Quan | Chicago Wedding at Cafe Brauer » Heather Cook Elliott Photography

In writing this blog post for Ali & Quan I keep trying to come up with a more solid way to describe their wedding day but the word that keeps rising to the top of my mind is magical. Ali & Quan hosted their wedding on March 2nd in Chicago, not a day known for sunshine and perfect weather, and yet, that is exactly what they experienced. From the rooftop of their city hotel to the colonnade of the Lyric Opera and onto Lincoln Park, every spot they graced with their presence shown just a little brighter, sparkled a little harder and generally showed off Chicago as a magical city of light, love and clear blue water & skies. Their ceremony was touching and personal, a perfect way to invite family and friends to be forever a part of their love story and really is there any better way than a floral chandelier to accent the historic grace and beauty of Lincoln Park’s Cafe Brauer? In the end, the toasts were emotional, the party was epic and the couple at the center of it all deserved every magical moment. So grab a glass of bubbly and take a deep breath because this one will have you believing that magic really does exist ~
