Wedding: Lauren & Brad

The day was perfect! The sky was blue, the temperature just right, the Patrick C. Haley Mansion in Joliet was filled with laughter, and Brad & Lauren were absolutely beaming! Lauren and Brad chose to have a “first look” and see each other before the wedding, and I am so glad they did! We were...
