Rachel + John 11.24.08
Café Brauer | Chicago, Illinois

What an honor it was to photograph Rachel and John's beautiful wedding. The details of the big day were incredible! The letterpress materials, Rachel's purple shoes, the hanging votives, gorgeous flowers everywhere... the list goes on. Thank you to the lovely Katie from Dettagli Weddings for coordinating the evening.




















Heidi + John 11.17.08
Newberry Library | Chicago, Illinois

Heidi and John had a lovely autumn wedding at Newberry a few weeks ago. After some toasting and roasting, their amazing DJ, Spencer from Style Matters, got everyone dancing.



















Auste + Matt 11.03.08
Our Lady of Pompeii + BOKA | Chicago, Illinois

We said it before and we'll say it again: Auste and Matt are hilarious! We knew we were in store for an amazing wedding when we found out many of Auste's Lithuanian traditions were going to be woven in (her beautiful head wreath, sashes, etc.) and Occidental Brothers Dance Band International was going to play at the reception! They also had an old school film photobooth, courtesy of 312 Photobooth, which made us envious. Many thanks to Marcia from An Urban Affair for coordinating such a fabulous event.






















Thanks Southern Weddings! 10.30.08
There are so many great wedding planning blogs out there - you could spend hours looking for inspiration. We're honored to have Anna + Scott's wedding details be featured on the fabulous Southern Weddings Magazine Blog! Check out the first and the second posts!




Amy + Adam 10.26.08
We had fun cruising around downtown and enjoying the beautiful fall weather with Amy and Adam. What was the best part of the session? When they told us they could do handstands... we suggested they do them in front of the shiny bean. Amy and Adam, thanks for the good times and we look forward to the wedding next summer!











Featured: Alison + Joel and Alice + Keith 10.22.08
It's no surprise that Alison and Joel's fabulous wedding is currently featured in The Knot Fall 2008/WInter 2009 national issue! Who could forget such a wedding... lovely bride and groom, impeccable details, Chicago Cubs Dixieland Band... the list goes on.


We are also excited to see Alice and Keith in the current issue of The Knot Chicago. Their beautiful wedding at the Newberry Library reflected their stylish, fun, and creative personalities.




Emily + Jim 10.21.08
It's been crazy busy with weddings and sessions because who doesn't love this time of the year? Perfect for walks in the park and snuggling. :) We had a good time with Emily and Jim, and look forward to photographing their winter wedding in January!









JT + Rebecca 10.15.08
JT and Rebecca are a hoot to be around, and we had a good time retracing their walk from home to work. Love their energy, sense of humor, and Shooter McGavin moves. :)









Bobby + Jessie 10.13.08
Another gorgeous fall afternoon in Chicago and a great e-session with Jessie and Bobby! We walked around Lincoln Park for a laid-back, romantic session.









Anthony + Lauren 10.10.08
Ascension in Oak Park, Illinois + Arrowhead in Wheaton, Illinois

Anthony and Lauren are hilarious - these two had us laughing the whole day. Between the beautiful ceremony, kind family and friends, the amazing emotional toasts, to some of the best dancing we've seen at a wedding in a long time - what a party.
