a UNIQUE AND ECLECTIC DOWNTOWN CHICAGO WEDDING

 

 

Alex and Elizabeth are a beautiful couple. I’ve been looking forward to capturing their day since their engagement session earlier this fall when I realized just how photogenic they both are! Not only are they natural in front of the camera but they are incredibly genuine and kind.


Alex and Elizabeth's day didn’t feel like a mid-October wedding day. The temperature was perfect and the sun was out in full force! There wasn’t a cloud in the sky! Jordan and I loved being surrounded by their family and friends. One of my favorite moments of the day was during the daddy-daughter first look. Elizabeth and her father had actually seen each other beforehand so we staged everything purely to document their day. In my mind, I had envisioned a simple sweet encounter, but goodness was it emotional!! As Elizabeth told her dad to turn around, they embraced and wept. It was an incredible and beautiful moment that I was honored to capture. 


This wedding was a joyful celebration of a beautiful couple!! Alex and Elizabeth, congratulations on this special new season of life! I have had so much fun getting to know you two. Thank you for allowing me to be your engagement and wedding photographer!! Now please sit back and enjoy as you scroll through over 200 of my favorite images from your day.
