What an incredible day celebrating Rebekah and Luke’s Wilder Mansion wedding in Elmhurst, IL! From start to finish, their big day was filled with so much love, laughter, and a touch of elegance that made it truly unforgettable.

Rebekah and Luke’s story began like many modern love stories: they swiped right on Bumble! Their first date at Maggiano’s turned into an epic 8-hour conversation—the kind where you lose track of time because everything feels so effortless. It was clear from the start that these two were meant to be. Fast forward to their wedding day, and their connection was undeniable.

Getting Ready

The day began at Rebekah’s home in Des Plaines, where her bridesmaids were in high spirits as they got ready. There was such a fun and relaxed vibe as the hair and makeup team worked their magic. Once everyone was ready, we made our way to the stunning Wilder Mansion. It was the perfect setting for their romantic and elegant celebration. Walking through the mansion, I couldn’t help but admire its historic charm. The white pillars outside made for a beautiful backdrop for Rebekah’s bridal portraits.

The Ceremony

The ceremony took place outside under a grand white tent on the mansion’s property. It was a heartfelt ceremony with lovely music, and you could feel the excitement in the air as Rebekah and Luke exchanged vows. After they said “I do,” we jumped into family photos, followed by wedding party and couple’s portraits. The wedding party was an absolute blast—full of energy and laughter—and capturing Rebekah and Luke’s chemistry was such a joy.

The reception took place inside the mansion, with dinner served upstairs. Before heading up for dinner, guests enjoyed cocktail hour downstairs, where the couple shared speeches, cut their cake, and had their first dances. The flow of the evening felt seamless and intimate. One of the highlights was a choreographed dance performed by Rebekah and her family to kick off the dance floor. It was the perfect way to set the tone for a night full of celebration.

Rebekah and Luke’s Wilder Mansion wedding was everything they dreamed of: fun, elegant, and romantic. It was an honor to document their day and witness the love they share with their closest family and friends. Congratulations to the happy couple!
