Trudie+Mark

Trudie is pure grace, she seemed to be walking on air from the beginning to the very end of her wedding day. Mark was overjoyed and could barely keep his contentment from bubbling over. They were so excited to get married, you couldn’t help but get caught up in the moment right along with them! […]

Darlene+Bobby

Sometimes the world is just small enough to make it possible for two people from very different places to meet and fall in love. When this gorgeous Filipino girl met this strapping Bulgarian boy everything fell into place. Even though English is not Bobby’s first language, he knew just the right words to say when […]

Erika+Jim

You never know how you’ll feel on your wedding day. All the excitement rushes to the surface and it’s hard not to be anxious, wedding butterflies are inevitable. As Erika put her dress on she felt them fluttering in her stomach (she was so excited to see Jim!), and even her dad tried to fight […]

Jen and Matt have a lot of history together. They have seen each other through the formative years, lots of schooling, and now the launch of their careers. Sticking together as you embark on life’s adventures can create a wonderful foundation for a relationship, Jen and Matt have exactly that. Their bond is unbreakable, and […]

Kate+Imran- One Love

Kate was so excited to marry Imran she couldn’t wait to put on her dress. In fact when I arrived she answered the door ready to go (an hour early!), blushing and radiant. She couldn’t stop smiling, and the way they both lit up when they saw each other was incredible. These two love each […]

Jesseme & Mike

Mike comes from a family of Irish pranksters, always ready for a good joke and a lot of laughs. It’s hard to keep a straight face when you’re around him and his brothers, much less know when you are being fooled. Jesseme is a no-nonsense girl, she doesn’t fool easily, but nothing lights up her […]

Pran+Josh

Pran has the most wonderful smile, and she was wearing it all day. (Josh was smiling too, although he hinted that his grin was from thoughts about the honeymoon!) Whether he was whispering words of love or silliness in Pran’s ear, the laughter that followed created some great photo opps… these two were so happy […]

Lena + Ario

These two know how to party. I had the pleasure of meeting Ario at another wedding a few years ago, and I distinctly remember the groom throwing a glass full of water over his shoulder instead of the garter (much to the surprise of the guys standing behind him!). It turns out this was all […]

Ellie + Will

Although they have traded in Cubs games and their Lakeview apartment for the Red Sox and the East coast, Ellie and Will decided to have their wedding back in Chicago. Friends from college, high school, and even grade school gathered with family at the beautiful Fulton’s On the River, a perfect spot to take in […]

Emily + Russell

Fate was smiling down when Emily moved into Russell’s apartment building, living only one floor apart they were destined to meet. They couldn’t deny the butterflies in their stomachs, and only 2 short months later Russell knew he was in love. When you know, you know! They get each other’s humor, even when they are […]
