Last week we shared the photo set of John and Allison's beautiful outdoor wedding at the Morton Arboretum (you can read about it and see the photos here), and now we're thrilled to share their lovely wedding day film as well! Now you can see what we were talking about: these two are crazy about each other, and it was truly a joy to be a part of it all. Enjoy!
It isn't often as a wedding photographer that you get to walk to work. Or that you met the bride in high school but haven't seen each other for almost ten years until she (and her new fiancé) walk into the bar you're working at on a random Friday night in Chicago. But that's a story for a different post...
Chris and Emily's wedding day was the perfect hometown (even "home-neighborhood") celebration, all in our favorite Chicago locale: Logan Square (just a few blocks from our apartment, hence the walking to work). And we use the word "celebration" to the fullest extent of its meaning. It was a joy to be a part of Chris and Emily's wedding, we hope you enjoy these images that reflect what a fantastic and special day it was!
As a city-dweller, it's important to have sacred spaces outside of the urban hustle and bustle. And for the last two years, that place for us has been the Morton Arboretum. With beautiful gardens, manicured hedges, and enough forest to walk through to truly feel lost in nature, it is a diamond in the western suburbs of Chicago. And so when John and Allison asked us to photograph their autumn wedding at the Arboretum, we swooned. It was an incredible day, with a sun-filled outdoor ceremony, a garden party to top any and all other garden parties, and a couple so deeply in love it was tangible. We hope you enjoy these images from their lovely day, and we look forward to sharing the video of John and Allison's wedding in the next few weeks!
A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of sharing with you the joy-filled photos from the wedding of Pavan and Shilpy, and today we are thrilled to post their video! To see more about their day, click here. Enjoy!
Where better to take photos of a newly engaged couple than at a place with years of meaning and memories for the two (and not to mention some of the most beautiful sunsets and lakeside bonfires)? Such was the case for our engagement session with Sean and Amanda in and around the town of South Haven, Michigan, and at the lakefront property near Amanda's family cottage.
And be warned: beyond just the aforementioned beautiful couple, some photos may contain an adorable golden retriever, running through the sand, at sunset, by a breathtaking lake. We know, it's hardly fair.
A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of sharing with you some images from the stunning rooftop wedding of Oren and Danielle in Chicago's West Loop. And without further ado, we're thrilled to share with you the video of their day! To see and hear more about the wedding, click here.
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!
The images below speak for themselves as to how much fun we had with Andrew and Lauren at their Montrose Harbor engagement shoot, and to how lovely a couple they are. And as excited as we are to share these with you, we're even more excited to photograph their wedding later this year!
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!
We say it all the time: we LOVE Chicago weddings. And when the couple is this in love, it makes our job easy. From getting ready at the historic Palmer House hotel, to the first look on the Lincoln Park bridge and photos in the gardens of the Art Institute, to the ceremony at First United Methodist church, all the way through the lively afterparty at the Chicago Cultural Center, it was a beautiful day. Here is Patrick and Kate's wedding day film, enjoy!
