I adore chicago for weddings and engagement sessions! There are so many hidden gems throughout the entire city and you can get so many different types of shots within a small area. I had a lot of fun getting to know Megan and Karl. Derby was also adorable 😉 .jpg "Olive Park_Chicago Engagement Session_LaSalle Board of Trade_River Walk")

I have no clue where the time went, but somewhere along the way wedding season began and I can’t tell you how happy I am that it’s here!
I’m at the age where everyone around me is getting married and I was lucky enough to photograph an old high school friend’s wedding… aka… LorEllen 🙂 She looked amazing on her wedding day and I adored her dress that was made by her grandma! Just look at the details that went into it. I’m so happy for them and I’m excited to see where they go together in the future!

I laugh every time I see this picture because I love that LorEllen’s brother is laughing hysterically. Thankfully he didn’t drop her!

Amy and Jason had a beautiful wedding at the Morton Arboretum on December 17th, 2010! I went to where they live in New Lenox for their engagement session. Amy and Jason are both english teachers and I got to hear their adorable story about meeting in grad school. Their wedding was an ideal winter wedding and the only thing missing would have been actual snow on the day! I was super excited when it snowed a couple of days before to cover everywhere with fresh white snow.

Jen and Daniel were married on February 6th, 2010! I’m extremely behind is blogging about this amazing couple and their wedding because of the blog change, but there is no time like the present! Jen and Daniel were married at the Union League Club of Chicago. It was an intimate ceremony and reception that was a blast to shoot. They were even up for going outside on the street in February! I was recently in my friends wedding and I can say that going outside is extremely cold in a dress 😉

This was right after the ceremony! I love Daniel’s expression. It shows so much joy and happiness and they told me later they didn’t even remember me there taking the pictures!
