Mike and Briana say their vows in this stunning Chicago, IL Wedding captured by Sarah & Rachel.

The story of how we met Briana starts 5 years ago. No, her and Mike hadn’t even met yet, but we had just met Briana and her family at her twin sister Elyse’s wedding.  Falling in love with Elyse, and their family, it was so exciting to see an email from Briana asking us to spend another day with them documenting her own vows.

Mike and Briana met online (just how Sarah met her hubby)! They hit it off and began their journey where Mike finally proposed with the best Christmas gift ever, a Packers jersey (her favorite team) with the words “willumarryme” written on the back and a vintage ring passed down through Briana’s family.

We set off to Chicago for the big day, and Rachel and I only had 1 minor panic attack while navigating through Chicago traffic, and only missed one toll!! Thank goodness for online toll pay.  Thanks Chicago traffic and weird toll roads. It is always an adventure with the Sarah and Rachel duo travel anywhere!

Thanks so much you two for inviting us to share in your day. Congrats and welcome to married life!
