Melissa and Andrew

It’s always such a humbling, and amazing experience to be asked to shoot the weddings of our friends. Melissa and Andrew were married a few weeks ago in a beautiful ceremony at Independence Grove. Melissa and I (Jennifer) work together at Second City Canine Rescue, and it was so fun to see these worlds collide. Melissa’s pup, King, was mentioned throughout the day, and even made an appearance on their signature cocktails, in their vows, and in speeches throughout the night!

Fun fact: every time someone books us for their wedding, we make a donation in their honor to Second City Canine Rescue!

Jake and I loved getting to know Melissa and Andrew’s families, their fun group of friends, and to be a part of their day.

We were so glad the rain held off so that we could do all of our portraits outside, before the skies opened up and stormed!!

Melissa, you were absolutely stunning. Andrew, you are a lucky man!

Cheers, you two!

Peter and Sarah

It's always a special honor to be included in the weddings of our family.  Jennifer's cousin Peter, and his stunning bride, Sarah, had the sweetest DIY wedding at the Farnsley Moremen Landing in Louisville, KY a few weeks ago.  Their beautiful, heartfelt ceremony was filled with laughter and love, and we couldn't be happier for the two of them.

We loved all their delicate and simple details, and the way Peter couldn't take his eyes off of his new wife - or the smile from his face.  Our kids loved the ice cream bar, and exploring the beautiful grounds of the property!

Many congratulations to this amazing couple as they start their life together.

We love you!

Christy and Greg's Wedding

Christy and Greg had such a sweet and simple wedding in Chicago this past Fall!  Jaci Weber of Clementine Custom Events made sure everything was seamless and beautiful!  Their ceremony at Galleria Marchetti was the perfect choice of location! Can we talk about their flowers for a second, though?  Sarah of Vale of Enna absolutely blew our minds with her stunning floral creations!  Take a peek at her work!  Amazing!

Please enjoy a few of our favorite images from Christy and Greg's sweet wedding day!

Pepsi and Andy's Wedding

Pepsi and Andy were such a joy to work with, only a few weeks ago, at the County Line Orchard.  They couldn't have ordered up a nicer day for their wedding, and we were so happy to be able to spend the day with them! We loved their beautiful florals by Phillip's Flowers, and sincerely enjoyed the company of everyone in the bridal party!

We can never complain when a wedding ceremony is performed in the shade of a giant Oak Tree and the reception ends with S'mores.

Simply perfect.

Happy Wedding Day to Pepsi and Andy.

Thanks for letting us be a part of it!

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:
