Nora and Richard’s wedding at Old Orchard Country Club in Mount Prospect gave us a full story to photograph: getting ready, a first look, portraits along the pond and willow trees, an outdoor ceremony, and a reception filled with speeches and dancing. Every image here comes from their real wedding gallery, showing the work we made at this northwest suburban Chicago venue.

Is Old Orchard Country Club a good wedding venue?

Old Orchard Country Club can be a good fit if you want an outdoor ceremony and wedding portraits near water and trees in Mount Prospect. Nora and Richard’s photographs show the pond, willow branches and stone bridge alongside their ceremony and reception. Ask about access to those portrait spots, your rain plan and the time available between the ceremony and dinner.

Getting ready and a first look by the water

We began with Nora’s bouquet, shoes, and dress, then followed the anticipation of getting ready. During the first look, the trees and water provided a quiet setting for Nora and Richard to see each other before the ceremony. The nearby pond fountain, stone bridge, and willow branches gave us several distinct portraits without needing a long trip between locations.

Nora arrived with her escort, and the ceremony continued with vows, a unity moment, and their first kiss beneath the arbor. We photographed both the full scene and close expressions, including family and guests who were part of it. These are the moments that make a gallery personal long after the day.

Old Orchard Country Club reception photos

The reception room, tables, cake, toasts, and first dance gave us a second part of the story. We aim to photograph the room and its details before guests settle in when the timeline allows, then follow the laughter, emotion, and energy as events happen.

There was more than one dance to remember. Nora and Richard shared time with loved ones, their guests filled the floor, and they stopped to greet people at the tables. Those candid connections are as important to us as the formal portraits outside.
