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!

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!

Rhian and Cameron's Wedding

Rhian and Cameron had a beautiful early-Autumn day for their wedding at the Emerson Creek Pottery and Tea Room.  Their rustic theme was accentuated with the perfect amount of glamor and sweetness.  Their wedding colors of ivory, navy and gray were beautifully complimented by their choice of flowers.

We loved the personal touches they added throughout their day, and who can resist a dapper groom with a bolo tie and a bone ring?

Rhian and Cameron's short, sweet and heartfelt ceremony was held outside and we simply adored the wagon that their beautiful one year old daughter was wheeled in with!!

We had so much fun with this couple, and are excited to share a few of our favorite images from their day:

Krina and Kevin's Wedding at the Chicago Botanical Garden

Krina and Kevin were a blast to work with on their wedding day!  They were a relaxed, easy-going couple and so full of love!  Their adorable 1 year old son, Karter, absolutely stole the show -- and absolutely no one minded! These two had a fairly short engagement and made a great decision by choosing to work with Clementine Custom Events, who pulled their beautiful day together seamlessly!  We love that they decided to do their sweet, heart-felt ceremony and fun-filled reception at The Chicago Botanic Gardens in Glencoe, IL.  This location has so much to offer, visually and creatively and is definitely one of our favorite places to work!

Please take a  peek at some of our favorite images, and leave Krina and Kevin some love!
