Saeri and Brent were wed at Evans Field, a forest preserve just outside of Chicago. Saeri wore a persimmon-colored dress (to match her ink), they both wore Converse, and they had a ceremony filled with geek references to dinosaurs and zombies. They had steamed buns from Wow Bao (a delish Chicago joint known for their “hot Asian buns”).
An aunt performed a hula dance, while another aunt read an English and German poem that Saeri's grandmother wrote for them. It was definitely a mix of cultures and interests that blended so well together. Rebecca at Studio Nouveau photographed the wedding said, “You know those weddings that are just dripping with special details that give you a sense of the couple? This wedding was one of those.”

We were so proud to be a part of this day. They are such a loving, caring couple. Brent could not have been more attentive and involved in this wedding and it shows as a perfect representation of their lives together. It helps that Rebecca can capture those moments so easily as well. Thanks for letting us be a part of your day Saeri and Brent.
