Michelle and Nick had one of those wedding days that I just felt proud to be a part of. They did things differently than usual and I loved the explosion of color and texture that lit up the Fairlie in Chicago. A big congratulations to these two who had us smiling all day and dancing along with the best band in the business all night. Enjoy this look back at a one of a kind celebration. xoxo ..read more

Nothing makes me feel more warm and fuzzy than when I get asked to photograph the second wedding in the same family. Elaine’s sister Gail got married first at a beautiful wedding at Cafe Brauer, and when it came time for Elaine to tie the knot with Dan, we were absolutely flattered to receive the inquiry. I feel so lucky to do what I do, and it’s families like this one that really make me pinch myself that it’s real. Check out this look back at July 2022 and tell me you aren’t just as in love!

One of the nice things about blogging this wedding more than a year later is how quickly seeing these photos makes me feel all the feels. AND we were lucky enough to see Megan and Janna just recently for the Atlanta wedding of two of their dear friends. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to photograph multiple weddings in the same friend group, same family, etc. It’s incredible to see familiar faces and have those faces happy to see yours. This wedding in New Orleans was the highlight of last year, and getting to hug these two just a couple of weeks ago was the inspiration to get my stuf ..read more

Doesn’t get much better than Abby & Michal. They have great taste in just about everything, and really know how to throw a party. It seems everywhere we went we were greeted by people who just wanted to make the day easier for them, and I’ll take that! It was a joy to watch Chicago celebrate these two out in the streets, and a true pleasure to spend the evening amongst their family and friends who felt the exact same way.

This wedding was a breath of fresh air! Megan and Dennis kept things simple and intimate for their wedding day, and we loved the vibe. We’ve been seeing a lot more couples skip the wedding party and limiting formal speeches and traditional dances in favor of a sophisticated dinner party with dancing. We loved working with this couple and with Big City Brides! Enjoy a look back at this beautiful wedding day from August. Congrats, guys!
