Luxurious & Elegant Wedding Video at The Armour House

Jordan + Zach

Jordan and Zach’s summer wedding at The Armour House in Lake Forest, Illinois felt classic in a way that doesn’t try too hard—clean, elegant, and really well thought out. With white florals, black accents, and a timeless design throughout, their day fit the space perfectly. As a Chicago wedding videographer, The Armour House is one of those venues that always delivers—between the architecture, the grounds, and the way everything flows, it’s an ideal setting for couples planning an elevated, estate-style wedding just outside the city.

Jordan and Zach met at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, sitting in the same algebra class freshman year. What started as a friendship slowly turned into more—something her friends definitely saw coming before she did. By sophomore year, they were officially together, and they got engaged right back on campus years later. After nearly a decade into the relationship, their wedding day didn’t feel like a beginning as much as a continuation of something long established.

Their outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour at The Armour House made the most of the estate’s gardens, while the reception brought everything inside for a more formal, black-tie feel. A champagne tower added a classic, celebratory moment, and Jordan’s outfit change later in the night was the perfect shift into a more relaxed, party-ready energy. Weddings at The Armour House in Lake Forest always have this balance of structure and ease, and Jordan and Zach’s day was a great example of that. For couples searching for a luxury wedding venue near Chicago or planning a summer wedding at The Armour House, this one is full of inspiration.
