Megen and Tommy's Wedding

We've been a bit behind on posts lately, as we settle into our new home -  BIG MOVE - a whole mile and a half down the road from where we were!  We are loving it, and have launched full-force into the thick of Wedding Season! We thought we'd share this amazing wedding with you on this Monday morning, because this bride's smile will surely brighten your day.  Megen and Tommy were simply a joy to work with.  From their stunning and impeccable style, down to every last perfect hand-crafted detail, their wedding at City View Loft was amazing from start to finish.  These two had a dream team of vendors working to pull their big day together, including Kate from Chicago Vintage Weddings,  incredible florals by Pistil and Vine and catering from Bub City -- the end result was a wedding you will not soon forget!  We were thrilled to have Ryan Timm along to second-shoot on this wedding and love what he came away with.

Please enjoy a few of our favorite shots from their day, leave Megen and Tommy some LOVE and make sure to check out their feature in The Splash!

Kilene and Alex's Elopement

There was still snow on the ground as Chicago clung to the last of winter, but it was steamy and warm inside Lincoln Park's Conservatory during Kilene and Alex's elopement! These two have the sweetest love-story and we were so honored to be there as they exchanged vows in front of their families.

Please enjoy a few of our favorite images from their day:

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:
