I photographed Sophie and James wedding a couple of weeks ago at Kathryn Legge Memorial Park. The first thing I noticed when I got there was the display of the elements earth, air, water and fire. I got excited because it’s not often that I see alternative spiritual principles invoked in a wedding ceremony. One of the first things I do at every wedding is check in with the nature spirits of the place and I spent a few moments looking up at the beautiful pine trees that were overhead and I noticed Sophie glance up a few times during the ceremony and I was all like “I know…they’re lovely aren’t they?”. After their exchange of vows we did a flurry of group portraits in the park and then travelled to Il Poggiolo Ristorante in downtown Hinsdale for a few candids during their reception. I really enjoyed being a part of Sophie and James’ wedding and I wish them all the best with their future together!
