Nina & David’s Fall Elegant & Timeless Wedding

Nina & David’s Fall Elegant & Timeless Wedding

Umm, hello Mr. & Mrs. Babb 😍 Nina and David’s day was everything timeless fall weddings are made of — elegance, emotion, and a whole lot of joy. Their ceremony took place at the historic Baker Memorial United Methodist Church in St. Charles, IL, where candlelight and soaring architecture set the stage for their vows. Afterward, family and friends gathered at Venuti’s Banquet Hall in Addison, IL, for a celebration that can only be described as unforgettable. From Mama Mia on the dance floor and Nonna showing off her moves, to Nina’s dad dancing on a chair and David’s little brother bringing everyone to tears during speeches — every moment overflowed with love, laughter, and legacy.
