Lisa and Jesus had the most incredible Fall wedding celebration at Mistwood Golf Club. Capturing these moments and memories from their day was so much fun as both Lisa and Jesus are such a relaxed and go with the flow kind of couple. Even so, their wedding day was beautifully crafted and went off without a hitch and I can’t WAIT to share the highlights with you!

Getting Ready and a First Look

Both Lisa and Jesus spent the morning of their wedding day with their respective wedding parties, getting ready together and having an absolute blast to start the day. There’s no better way to get hyped up and excited for a wedding day than with your closest friends all gassing you up as you get ready to marry the love of your life. Once dressed Lisa and Jesus met up outside the reception venue of their Fall wedding, Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville. The club would end up being the perfect setting for their reception, but also lent itself perfectly as a backdrop for their first look and wedding party portraits! The Fall colors of the golf club really made Lisa and Jesus’ wedding attire pop for their photos which were SO gorgeous and the perfect start of their day.

Their Ceremony at SS. Cyril & Methodius Parish

After capturing plenty of wedding party portraits in the fall beauty of Mistwood Golf Club it was time to head to SS. Cyril & Methodius Parish in Lemont for Lisa and Jesus’s wedding ceremony. The inside of the church was simply stunning and an ideal location for their traditional catholic ceremony with it being only a 20 or so minute drive from the reception space. The ceremony went perfectly as Lisa and Jesus were positively BEAMING afterwards seeing all of their friends and family there to support the two newlyweds. Next though came the moment everyone was looking forward to, their reception!

Dancing the Night Away at Mistwood Golf Club

Their Fall wedding reception at Mistwood Golf Club was equal parts emotional and fun filled. With touching moments like Lisa’s sisters singing to the newlyweds for their speech, to a lively dance floor with plenty of salsa dancing to traditional Hispanic tunes, the night was seriously SO much fun. The two made the right call having their reception at Mistwood Golf Club’s indoor banquet hall. With plenty of space, simple yet tasteful décor, and a wonderfully helpful staff, the space was the perfect setting for them to dance the night away with their favorite people.
