Jen and Bobby- Architectural Artifacts Wdding- Day After Session

Jen and Bobby's day after session couldn't have been more fun. We started out at their home to get a few photos with their boxer Megan.

And then off to take a few photos on their scooter!

If you can't tell, someone is holding a dog treat behind the camera :)

Cheers,

Esmeralda & Bryan Engagement

These are some of my favorite pics of Esmeralda & Bryan's engagement session. We are looking forward to capturing their big day on May 13, 2011! To see more, check out our facebook fan page.

As with many of our couples, when it comes to Chicago baseball they root for different teams. Esmeralda is a Sox fan and Bryan is a Cub's fan....just goes to show that they can get along. 

But they do fight occasionally...

Esmeralda & Bryan adopted two rescue dogs, Samson and Hutch. Here is their family showing their Bears pride!

Congratulations, Esmeralda & Bryan! We look forward to your wedding in May!


Cheers!

Stephanie & Brad's- Fulton's on the River Wedding Chicago

Capturing Stephanie & Brad's day was so much fun! They wed at the Madonna dell Strada Chapel at Loyola, which only recently began hosting weddings for alumni. Their reception was at Fulton's on the River. Here are some of my favorite photos of the day!

I absolutely loved the bright oranges and purples of Stephanie's bouquet by Flora!

Brad's is a Hawkeye fan through and through, but his groomsmen traveled from all over. He decided to have each groomsmen's cufflinks be of their favorite sports team. I thought it was a great way to personalize the guys' style and favorite teams (of course).

It had started to sprinkle ever so slightly, but Steph was able to stay dry!

The beautiful Madonna della Strada Chapel at Loyola. 

I had to add this in here. When Stephanie left the church, her veil was blown by the wind and danced it's way into a nearby tree. Her cousin's son, Alex saved the day by climbing the tree and rescuing the runaway veil.

Stephanie & Joleen met at Loyola when they were both RA's at Lakefront. I loved this photo of them racing to their former stomping ground.

Stephanie is such a Cub's fan that her something blue was a little Cub's pin. It was only fitting that we went to Wrigley to get this shot!

Next, the bridal party headed to the place where it all started - Merkle's, the Iowa bar in Wrigleyville. This is where Brad & Stephanie met thanks to her bridesmaid, Kristine. They had a champagne toast awaiting them along with a bar full of Hawkeye fans!

Bridesmaids drinking out of the same fishbowl!

After having some fun at Merkle's, we headed down to get some city shots.

The reception was held at Fulton's on the River with Carrie Ann from Toast & Jam as the DJ.

The speeches had Brad & Stephanie cracking up laughing.

A great end to a wonderful day!

Congratulations, Stephanie & Brad!

Cheers!

Carolyn & Brian Engagement Session

Here are some of our favorites from Carolyn and Brian's engagement session.

They brought their puppie, Noriko along for some fun pics! 

This picture reminds me of a still from a romantic movie. This street happened to be a street where they both used to live before they knew each other. 

Noriko looking at her parents...perhaps thinking, what's with the camera - can we go for a regular walk already?

We ventured to Oz Park, one of their favorite parks in the area. They really are kids at heart. They had so much fun playing on this thing.

As a kid, Carolyn liked to swing so high that she could feel the swing bump..

Brian had to slide down to get this picture.

It started to rain so we sought refuge at Old Town Social Club, where Brian proposed.

We had a blast working with Carolyn and Brian and look forward to photographing their big day next September!

Cheers!

Sarah and Heather
