These two lovers first met on an airport layover, both on separate business trips… and now these two exchange wedding vows on a beautiful wedding at Trump’s tower, with an intimate ceremony overlooking the river walk in Chicago, IL. 

While the design of the wedding breathed simple elegance, from the cut of Kristen’s dress to the layout of the ceremony, Kristen and Rich made sure to include some quirky details unique to their relationship. Just a few weeks before, Rich had gotten Kristen two puppies. The family dressed them up in tiny wedding outfits, oh it was rather cute! They even got to be the official ring bearers at the wedding ceremony. Talk about starting a family!

With plenty to talk about President Trump, we were in awe of the little special details from the hotel to both our bride, doggie treats and a special monogramed pillow for her pups, but also to us the photographers ;) they were so sweet to arrange for a delightful dinner buffet on a separate room, including 100% fruit juices to keep the energy going.

During the reception, one of Kristen’s triplet sisters gave a speech that incorporated lyrics from the couple’s favorite band, Coldplay… it was hilarious! She laughed and cried every time she began a new paragraph lol You must listen to her speech!

Kristen’s father in his speech brought matching monogrammed golf shirts for him and Rick to wear when they went out on the green together. The rest of the evening was warm and welcoming, and the wedding finished up by dancing with a live band. We photographers didn’t want to leave!
