Rolling greens, a calm lake, and big open skies make Ivanhoe Club one of the prettiest golf course settings near the city. As Chicago wedding photographers, we love heading north to Mundelein for a celebration here. The club overlooks Lake Ivanhoe and a beautifully kept course that ranks among the best in Illinois. It feels private, peaceful, and polished from the moment you arrive.

Couples choose this venue because it handles so much for them. Food, drinks, rentals, and setup are all part of the plan, so the day feels easy and calm. The ballroom has an open layout with windows on every side, which means guests can enjoy views of the course all evening long. Natural light pours in, and that is always great news for photos.

Outside, the patio has fire tables, string lights, and an outdoor bar, so guests can step out for fresh air and cozy conversation. The club seats anywhere from about one hundred to three hundred guests. An Ivanhoe Club wedding works well in any season, from bright summer evenings to crisp fall nights when the trees around the lake turn gold.

Meaghan and Jordan’s Hole in One

Meaghan and Jordan met in a very unexpected way. They matched on Hinge in Arizona, just a few months after Meaghan moved there. Their first date was a sweaty one, since the air conditioning at the restaurant was broken. Luckily, a redemption date at Top Golf followed, and the rest is history. Now they are getting married on a golf course, which feels like the perfect full circle moment.

Life together is full of things they love. They enjoy cooking, traveling, playing golf and pickleball, and walking their very energetic young mini Aussie. Their wedding style matched their easygoing personalities. They wanted a look that was classic, modern, and simple, with greens and creams throughout. Jordan chose a green suit, the groomsmen wore khaki and tan, and the bridesmaids wore a mix of greens like olive and sage.

Our team is based in Chicago, and we photograph weddings all over Illinois. From downtown hotels to suburban country clubs, every wedding photographer on our team knows how to find the best light and the most honest moments. We keep things relaxed and friendly, so you can laugh, breathe, and enjoy the people around you. Our videographers bring the same calm, fun energy to every wedding film.

Our Timeless editing style was a great fit for this day. It keeps colors true and natural, so all those greens and creams will look just as fresh years from now. We love catching the small details too, from a boutonniere on a green lapel to a quiet smile between two people who found each other in the desert. We also love meeting couples ahead of time, so we can learn their story and plan photos that truly feel like them.

Chicago Wedding Photographers at Ivanhoe Club

The photographers at Original Weddings love golf course weddings because there is so much open space to work with. At this Mundelein club, we use the lakeside views, the rolling greens, and the soft evening light to create portraits that feel natural and calm. Before the wedding, we help you plan a timeline that makes the most of the light, so you can enjoy golden hour photos and still have plenty of time with your guests. Our team gives simple, gentle direction and then steps back to capture real moments as they happen. We also love those quick, unplanned moments, like a laugh with your best friend or a hug from a grandparent, because they often become the favorite photos in the whole gallery.

Our studio is based in Chicago, and we travel all across Illinois for weddings. We often photograph celebrations in Mundelein, Libertyville, Lake Forest, Evanston, Schaumburg, and Naperville. When a wedding is outside the city, our team happily makes the drive, so you never have to worry about it. Wherever your day takes place, Original Weddings brings the same care and attention to every couple. You choose the editing style you love, and we deliver a full gallery of honest, joyful images that you will want to look at again and again with your family and friends.

Chicago Wedding Videographers at Ivanhoe Club

The videographers at Original Weddings love telling stories that feel warm and real. At a club wedding like this, we film your walk down the aisle, your vows, the toasts, and the dance floor, along with wide views of the lake and the course. We work quietly in the background and let the day unfold naturally, so you can stay present with each other and with your guests. Small sounds like laughter and happy cheers help bring your film to life. Our goal is a film you will want to share with family and watch together again and again.

Our video team travels from Chicago to weddings all over Illinois, including Mundelein, Lake Forest, Evanston, and Naperville. Original Weddings creates films that feel personal and true to your story. Years from now, you can press play, hear your vows again, and relive every moment of your day with the people you love most.
