Pavan + Shilpy: Wedding at Bridgeport Art Center, Chicago, IL

There are few more colorful events than an Indian wedding, and as was the case for Pavan and Shilpy, few more loving and joyful couples to be wed. Old traditions mixed with new, family and friends from all over, good food and enthusiastic dancing: these are things that truly make for a fantastic celebration, and that's exactly what the day held. Enjoy these stunning photos from their wedding day, and look for the lovely couple's wedding video in the next few weeks!

Oren + Danielle: Wedding at Morgan Manufacturing, Chicago, IL

Few things make for a more glamorous day than a sunset wedding and cocktail hour on the rooftop of Chicago's Morgan Manufacturing in the city's West Loop neighborhood. It was a detailed and finely curated event, from the bride's personally designed dress, to the ornate table arrangements, all the way to the late-night party snacks, catered by Chicago's very own Weiner's Circle (and if you haven't heard of them, do yourself a favor and go get a truly authentic Chicago-style hot dog). We're excited to share these images from the day with you, and look for the video to follow in the next few weeks!

Andrew + Kaitie: Wedding at First Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh

When "Gatsby" is the standard, there's a lot of class and elegance to be lived up to for a wedding. But the degree of taste and sophistication (not to mention the flood of white, black and gold) would've done F. Scott Fitzgerald proud, and was a dream to capture as photographers.

Andrew and Kaitie had a thoroughly Pittsburgh wedding, getting married at First Presbyterian Church in the downtown area followed by a reception overlooking the cityscape at Le Mont restaurant. And through spats of drizzling rain (which did nothing to deter the beauty of the day) we took wedding party photos on the steps of the magnificent Mellon Institute of Industrial Research. It was a black bow-tie and gold sparkling dress affair, not to mention a day filled with boundless joy as we celebrated our dear friends and newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Stoddard. Here are some of our favorites from the day:

Anthony + Carly: Wedding at Promontory Point, Chicago

To introduce you to Anthony and Carly, I think we just need to start at the end. The ceremony was over, the dancing was just wrapping up, people were roasting s'mores over a bonfire down by Lake Michigan...and the groom was changing his pants so that he and his newlywed bride could wade out into the freezing cold water. Just for fun. Because that's the adventurous joy in life and love you will find in Anthony and Carly.

It was a beautiful, fun-filled wedding at Chicago's Promontory Point on a spring Sunday afternoon, with the sky over Lake Michigan putting on a show in the background. And it was an honor to take part in capturing the marriage of Anthony and Carly, a couple we've known for quite some time, and whose family feels like ours. We hope you enjoy these images from their day as much as we enjoyed taking them!

Tim + Tiffany: Wedding at Dunham Woods Riding Club, Wayne, IL

When one hears the name "Dunham Woods Riding Club" it begins to conjure up images of elegance, class, intimacy, and a sophistication that comes with a long history of good taste. And you would not be far from the truth.

Tim and Tiffany's sunny wedding at Dunham Woods was truly all of those things, and more. From getting ready in the main house's private rooms (that date back to 1932), to portraits around the grounds and inside the private barroom, to dinner overlooking the spacious properties, we couldn't have asked for a more lovely day, or a better couple to photograph. Here are a few of the images from Tim and Tiffany's wedding below. Enjoy!

Heath + Jenn (Video)

It's been a bit since we've posted some of our recent video work, but without further ado, here it is! Heath and Jenn got married earlier this spring, and were some of the loveliest people we've ever worked with. It was a laid back, intimate and elegant affair, and to our delight, it was 100% a Chicago wedding: they got ready at the Blackstone Hotel on Michigan Ave., had their first look just south of Grant Park, took photos with the cityscape background at Montrose Harbor, were wed in St. Paul's Lutheran Church, and had their after party at the award-winning Sepia. 

It is one of our greatest joys in life to work with people who, you can just tell, truly adore each other, and this day was no exception. We look forward to sharing the photos we took of Heath and Jenn's wedding next week, and hope you enjoy and can see the love we captured between these two in the video below. Cheers to the newlyweds!
