I also want to give a shout out to my friend Sandra for referring Sharon to my work- that’s how I get most of my business- through a referral!

Another quick shout out to wedding planner Cindy Kang from “Just the Little Things” for helping to keep everything running smoothly!

***There are more images posted on my facebook page – Feel free to ‘friend’ me if you can’t see all 70+ images there!***

We started the morning at Sonia Roselli Esthetique – one of Chicago’s premier cosmetic boutiques.

Wedding shoes: Pedro Garcia

And some photos of her earrings-

Having a moment with her Jinza Jin Couture wedding dress before putting it on-

The bridesmaids helping to button up-

yes…Sharon looked stunning!

Lawrence was having his GQ moment himself- =)

We spent some time in the downtown area of Lake Forest – I love this quaint little suburb!

Before the wedding ceremony and creative portraits, Sharon and Lawrence had a ‘first look’ moment to themselves. He was blown away!

The ladies were trying to stay out of the background of my shots while still trying to see what was going on! Look at the expression on their faces!

Some creative portraits-

You can see the joy in her eyes-

The reception was held at the Armour House at the Lake Forest Academy- an amazing venue! One of my favorites-

The Armour House at Lake Forest Academy has an amazing garden that has an ethereal feel to it.

Sharon surprised Lawrence by singing for him- he hadn’t heard her sing before- even though all her friends have told him what about her great voice- what a wedding day gift!

It was one of the more moving moments of the day-

And then during the first dance- they busted out the moves!

Sharon & Lawrence: Thanks for having me as your wedding photographer! The day was full of memorable moments and I am privileged to have witnessed it all- congrats again!

with love,
Kenny Nakai
