Sarah & Marko | Patrick C Haley Mansion | Joliet, IL Wedding Photographer
I always think its great when couples use their cultural heritage to plan their wedding. Traditions and history are so valuable and it is someone with a strong sense of family and a beautiful soul that honors and respects these things. Sarah and Marko put a little bit of their Italian, Croatian and American heritage into their wedding and it made for a gorgeous and fabulous time! The more I see weddings however, and all their differences in decor, and individual touches (which are awesome), the more I realize that there is one universal thing that unites them all - love. Which seems obvious, but it really ties together humans as a whole. It is that energy that keeps us going, and what I love about being at weddings all the time. Sarah certainly felt her fair share of love that day -- she was hugged no less than 10 times by all of her adorable flower girls! I think they just knew what everyone else did - she was a ray of sunshine and beauty and positive energy and they just needed to be near it a little bit ;)
