Mary+Mike's Downtown Chicago Engagement Session

Downtown Chicago at sunset was the backdrop for Mary and Mike's Engagement Session.  We spent some time down by the river, and around the Chicago Theater. The couple is getting married in July 2015..... we're not sure of the details yet, but we bet it's gonna be great! 

Congrats Mary and Mike, we look forward to your wedding next summer!

Charu and Milap's Winter Engagement Session

We first met this lovely couple a few years ago and Charu's cousin, Parul's stunning wedding. When Charu reached out to us about her own wedding we were more than a little excited! She and fiancee Milap are getting married 4th of July weekend. They decided they wanted to do their engagement session in the opposite season. So we braved the weather and made some stunning pictures in the snow. Can't wait to work with you guys this summer!

Katey & Gordon's Maggiano's Wedding

Katey & Gordon - what a great couple!  After getting ready at the downtown Marriott, the couple made their way to Old Town's St. Joseph's Church for their wedding ceremony.  They made it official, then we strolled around the city for some beautiful photos with the sun was setting.  Guests had a great time partying down at the reception at Maggiano's.  

Kay and Gearin's Swissôtel Soiree

When Kay and Gearin first started planning their wedding they knew they wanted Chicago to be featured prominently. They saw each other for the first time at their ceremony at the Tiffany Garden at the south end of Buckingham Fountain. After a great photo tour we found our way back to the Swissôtel where their guests got to take in the AMAZING views of Michigan Ave and Navy Pier from the 43rd floor. Kay and Gearin threw down an awesome party with the help of Roberto Monastero spinning tunes and Kayla of Big City Bride making sure every detail was attended too. Check out some of our favorite pictures below and a BIG 'Thank You' to Kay and Gearin!

Natalia & Michael's Rookery Wedding

What a gorgeous spring wedding!  These two lovelies got married on one of the most beautiful days in April so far.  Both of them attended the University of Dayton, but met when they were brought together by the power of Facebook... Michael stalked her (hey, it happens!).  They got ready at the Palmer House Hilton and then had their ceremony at Assumption.  After making it official, we did photos at some iconic Chicago spots like the river, Michigan Avenue, and the Chicago Theater.  Their reception at the Rookery looked amazing with Vale of Enna Flowers' designs, went off smoothly with day-of planning by Dara of Simply Perfect Events by Dara, and Blue Plate's catering was amazing (as always).  Guests, including Natalia's family from Chile, partied all night long with the happy couple!
