Andrea and Roberto picked The Crawford in Naperville for their reception, and our Chicago wedding photographers had a blast there. This modern venue sits in the western suburbs, a short drive from downtown Chicago. It mixes clean, elegant style with a warm and welcoming feel. Big windows fill the space with natural light all day long.

The building has a fun backstory. When the Abbott Hospitality team found it, the space was neglected and forgotten. They gave it new life and turned it into one of the most talked about event spaces in Naperville. Today it shows off exposed brick, industrial lighting, and a touch of Art Deco flair.

The Crawford offers a ballroom that can seat around two hundred and fifty guests, plus a charming outdoor courtyard. Couples can say their vows in the courtyard and then dance the night away under sparkling chandeliers. The open layout lets guests flow easily from cocktails to dinner to the dance floor. It is a stylish choice for couples who want modern elegance with a classic touch.

Andrea and Roberto’s Greek and Mexican Celebration

Andrea and Roberto met six and a half years ago at community college. A mutual friend introduced them, and they have been together ever since. They share an adorable beagle puppy and love relaxing together or spending time with friends and family.

Their biggest inspiration was blending their two cultures. Andrea is half Greek, so their church service took place in a Greek Orthodox church, with Greek dancing planned for the reception. Roberto is Mexican, so their celebration also included Mexican food, dancing, and traditions. Their colors were olive green and burgundy, with pretty lace accents. It was a true celebration of two families coming together.

We love weddings that honor family roots. Traditions bring so much meaning and energy to a day. When we photograph a wedding like this, we watch for the dances, the family moments, and the details that show where a couple comes from. These images become treasures that families pass down for years. We feel lucky every time we get to witness that.

Our team is based in Chicago, and we photograph weddings all over Illinois. Every wedding photographer on our team works to keep couples relaxed and having fun. That way, the photos look natural and full of joy. We also like to meet couples before the wedding, so we can learn about their families and plan the photos around what matters most to them.
