Chicago Wedding Photos!
Jenny + Chris living in New York, but returned to Jenny’s hometown of Chicago for their wedding! She had been referred to me by her childhood friend and former wedding client of mine…Elizabeth! Jenny really enjoyed the photos from Elizabeth + Dan’s wedding and I was excited to to do a great job for her as well! A quick shout out to Christine from Tying the Knot…who did a great job at coordinating this wedding and I’m excited to be working with her again this weekend!

We started the day at her parent’s home in the northshore suburbs of Chicago. I found a creative spot for her wedding dress in between a pair of open french doors.

Jenny has remained close to her childhood friends and it was touching to see them support the bride in the morning
And the dress is on!

Once he was standing there…I think the emotions hit him a little as Jenny began to walk down the aisle!
A beautiful church in Winnetka – perfect for a wedding!

The happy couple having a good time during the toasts-
Jenny + Chris LOVE sunsets and we made sure to get a photo with the setting sun in the background!
Chris played baseball in college and currently works for Major League Baseball- and while he loves his Boston Red Sox…I’m a loyal White Sox fan! Sorry Chris! =) BTW…the Chicago South Siders LOVE Youkilis!
Their cupcakes!
And Jenny changed into a white party dress! =) I’m sure it was easier to dance in!
Congrats again to Jenny + Chris! What a great time with friends and family! I love your energy and the way you guys compliment each other and I am privileged to be have been apart of it all!
