Tessa and Louis

Venue: Parkway by the Lake

On Friday, I shot my last wedding before my big move so it was a bittersweet day for me, but I had a great great time. Tessa and Louie are perfectly suited for each other. They literally could not stop laughing the whole time I was with them. Here is a taste of their day.

Amy and Ryan

Venue: Arrowhead Gold Club

During the maid of honor speech, Amy's sister said that Ryan and Amy fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Even though I've only known Amy and Ryan a short time, I have to say, I totally agree. Totally in love, totally excited to spend the rest of their lives together.




Arrowhead Golf Club was top notch--a beautiful setting with wonderful service



Gorgeous light...



See what I mean about their happiness??

Cristina and Christopher

Venue: The Odyssey at Navy Pier

What do you get when you have a couple totally smitten with each other, really cool blue shoes, and the fun rides at Navy Pier? A really cool wedding! Cristina and Christopher were married on Sunday and couldn't have asked for better weather!



How cute are they?


This was only my second wedding aboard the Odyssey...what a great, unique venue...

The light was beautiful on Sunday.

Max discovers nature and the joy that is the University of Colorado--Boulder

We went to my parents place in Boulder last week. Max had a great time. He's been several times but this is the first time we really had time/weather to spend outside...

Stacy and Pat

Venue: Galleria Marchetti

Pat and Stacy were married on Friday at Galleria Marchetti in Chicago. Stacy is my eye doctor and Pat is a golf pro at the Diversey Golf Range here in Chicago. He looked really familiar when he walked in and I realized that I took a lesson with him around three years ago. I was horrible and never played golf again! So I knew both the bride and the groom and I love shooting weddings for people I know.

I've had lots of receptions at Galleria but never a ceremony. What a gorgeous garden! They were married outside on a perfect day.

Stacy looked so gorgeous. Her dress was a dress that few can wear--you have to be slim to wear this gown.

She managed to borrow some beautiful jewelry from a jeweler for the big day


Something tells me these two are really happy to be getting married!





When in Chicago, you must show the "el"....

Since Pat is a golfer, there was a certain theme to the reception. That theme, of course, was golf. And with golf comes lots of grass and golf tees!


Another fabulous dip at the reception...

Matt and Rosie

Venue: A New Leaf, Chicago

Matt and Rosie were married on Saturday at A New Leaf in Chicago. It's a great venue that I have had many weddings at. Matt is a consultant and, as such, is an incredibly organized person. Everything went great and they had a fantastic wedding!


Rosie, looking beautiful!


A New Leaf's amazing ceremony space....

The rings...

Don't they look happy?
