GCE Real Wedding Spotlight: Annie’s and Pete’s Lake Forest, IL Wedding Reception

li-wedding-reception-img-1
Annie and Pete were married outside of Chicago, IL in Lake Forest, at the home of the bride’s grandfather. The couple traveled from NYC to the bride’s hometown for their fall nuptials, and what a wedding it was! Planned by KKM Designs, Music and Entertainment provided by Gulf Coast Entertainment, and Photography by The Day Collective by Joanna Toto, the dream team was in the house for this special bride and groom. Despite the rain that meant their outdoor reception would be tented, guests partied all night long, busting out their best moves on the dance floor. A little rain can’t kill a party, and these beautiful pictures from Pete and Annie’s big day prove exactly that! Congratulations to our dear bride and groom, Annie and Pete! Cheers to you!
