African American Bride Chinell31

Real {Chicago} Wedding: Chinell + Nnamdi

Classic. Antique. Intimate.  These are some words we'll use to describe Chinell and Nnamdi's Chicago wedding.  We truly love the simplicity of this wedding. Chinell's reception decor included centerpieces of only baby's breath, vintage books and typewriters. Each place setting was represented by a book, for instance, Gone With the Wind.  The escort cards were actually library cards, with the guests' names and the book they were "checking out" written on them.   How unique!  One of the highlights of the ceremony was the foot washing ceremony, which you don't often see in most weddings because of logistics involved with achieving this.  Nevertheless, they pulled it off seamlessly.  Much thanks to Megan of Megan Chan Photography for sharing these gorgeous photos!  Be sure to check out her website and blog.  Meet the couple.
