Katy and Seth

Katy and Seth had a beautiful day for their sweet summer wedding a few weeks ago!  Katy and her girls got ready at the The Freehand Hotel, which was absolutely amazing.  We had so much fun with them and their bridal party, as we hit up a few spots around the city for portraits. 

Katy was absolutely stunning, and Seth could not keep his eyes off her.  We loved their style, their incredible florals by Life in Bloom, and the way their entire day reflected who they are as a couple. 

Jordyn, and her team from Bliss Weddings & Events kept the day running smoothly and perfectly timed.  We loved all the thought that was put into every detail, and we were so honored to be a part of their day.

Please take a peek through a slideshow of some of our favorite images!

Best wishes to Katy and Seth

Lauren and Alex's Wedding

When Lauren and Alex asked us to shoot their wedding at Discovery World in Milwaukee, WI, we were thrilled!These two have a laid back kind of love that just sort of wraps you up and leaves you with all kinds of feel-good vibes. Days before the wedding, Lauren suffered a tragic loss in her family, and it was wonderful to see their strong love hold them together throughout their day. It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with them, and capturing every moment of their sweet wedding.

Julianna and Tim's Wedding

Julianna and Tim had such a beautiful and timeless wedding this past year. Their colors of navy, gray and black were the perfect choice for their Chicago affair and we love their amazing floral selections! Julianna and Tim were married at St.Clement's Church with their reception following at The Women's Club of Evanston where they danced the night away.

These two had infectious smiles and were such a joy to be with.   We loved being a part of their day!

Please take a look at a few of our favorite images from their wedding:

Gwen and Patrick's Wedding

It's been a while since our last post, but we have a good excuse!  Meet Milo Joel, our perfect and beautiful third-born son.  He was born on December 12th, weighing 8lbs and measuring 21.5" long.  We are completely over the moon for him and have been enjoying our time getting to know this precious little man. milo

We are now ready to get back into the swing of things, and bring you more wedding prettiness!

So, without further adieu, take a peek at Gwendalyn and Patrick's wedding that was chock full of gorgeous inspiration!

Gwen and Patrick had a sweet, heartfelt ceremony filled with love and laughter.  We had so much fun doing their outdoor portraits, despite the wind!  They and their bridal party were so much fun to work with!

Their pretty reception at Blumen Gardens was overflowing with all the things we love, including twinkle lights and macaroons!

Take a look at a few of our favorite images from their sweet day:
