Tera and Michael
On a bright and sunny early September Saturday Tera and Michael got married downtown Chicago at TheWit hotel. After a few getting ready photos they had a private first look on a rooftop patio before we did some portraits with the bridal party. TheWit is within walking distance to some really great scenic backgrounds. We started with some photos in front of the iconic Chicago Theater sign and then finished up with photos on the state street bridge. They had a sweet ceremony in the ballroom followed by cocktails on the rooftop. Their reception was full of excitement and this group loved to dance! Here’s a preview of their wedding day. Congrats Tera and Michael!!

Timothy and Julie
I photographed Timothy and Julie’s wedding a few weeks ago on a beautiful August day. I started the day with them at the Oakbrook Hilton Resort for some getting ready photos before heading over to their venue at Glen Oaks Country Club in Glen Ellyn. Before the ceremony, Julie did a first look with her dad and Timothy and Julie did a private exchange of vows with just their bridal party in attendance. Their actual ceremony took place outside on a cute little patio with their dinner following right afterwards. Julie and Timothy were so much fun to photograph and I swear they were laughing and smiling the whole time! Congrats!!

Julie and Eric
Julie and Eric got married a few weeks ago at the rooftop cupola at London House downtown Chicago. It was a sweet and intimate ceremony with just their immediate family and it was followed by a champaign toasts and photos around the city. Some of my favorite pictures were with their puppy at Lincoln Park. Their reception was held at the fabulous restaurant Gibsons Italia right on the Chicago River with all the buildings lit up at night as the backdrop. Thank you Julie and Eric for having me be a part of your wedding day!
