Wedding Teaser Photos for Kristen + Hunter!

Post Covid Wedding Photos Here in Chicago!

The rain held off for Kristen + Hunter’s wedding today! Though it was forecasted to rain all day, the bride and groom were able to have their ceremony in the City Winery outdoor courtyard like they had always wanted! Right after guests entered the reception hall, the rain came pouring down!

I met Kristen + Hunter on the day they got engaged – as Hunter had me photograph his proposal! In case you missed it, be sure to see their Riverwalk Proposal Photos!

With COVID restrictions being lifted throughout our city, it felt great to capture their post covid wedding photos! Vaccinated folks are allowed to walk around outside without masks!
