This selection of photos is my first-reaction favorites. Normally this isn’t how I do a sneak peek but because I left shortly after the wedding for my much-needed summer vacation in Vancouver (!!) I just picked a bunch that stood out to put into this blog post…I can’t WAIT get at the rest of them!
I have been looking forward to Chad & Andy’s wedding since I first met with them about a year ago – I knew they were going to have a fabulous, classy Chicago wedding…and I was right! Everything about the day was perfect.I could not stop taking pictures of the adorable flower girl! Such a sweetie.Goin’ to the chapel! I’ve been wanting to shoot a wedding at this church for a while now, just love those red doors!
It was supposed to rain…and look! I guess God smiled on the wedding day cause it was beautiful outside.Time to celebrate!Something about the whole look of the day was sort of old-style classic to me – I love these next photos……especially when we found this boat! Luckily (and with the help of a persuasive groomsmen) the lifeguards allowed  Chad and Andrea to get IN the boat rather than just beside it.
The reception was held at the Southshore Cultural Center …which is also the venue where Barack & Michelle Obama were married! Gotta admit, I was even more excited about the venue when I heard that little fact…it was an incredibly ornate, beautiful setting…and again the Parks District never disappoints! P.S. I’m on Vacation right now! In beautiful British Columbia, in between camping trips in Ucluelet and Nelson…can’t wait to share photos from this trip!
