A big thank you to Keli Fayard, Co-Chef and Co-Owner at Vanille Patisserie in Chicago. I photographed one of Kelli&#8217;s cakes last year that she used in an ad shortly after the wedding. I asked her for a blog posts and she went above and beyond. I know you will find her tips useful!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>St. Michael Catholic Church will always be a special place for me as it was the church that Sue and I were married in 9 years ago. I&#8217;ve been to quite a few weddings at St. Michael but Brittany and Zach&#8217;s came with a surprise from Father Sonny. You&#8217;ll notice him playing guitar in the middle of this movie. He stopped and sang them a song while he played mid ceremony. From the look on their faces it was pretty special for the bride and groom. </p>
<p>Post ceremony we headed west to the St. Charles Country Club. If you have not been, it is a Country Club worth visiting. Tucked back in the trees and on a rolling hill, the club provides wonderful backdrops for wedding pictures. Lookout for pictures of the dessert trays that came out late in the evening. They really spent a lot of time making all of the details perfect for Brittany and Zach. </p>
