These two East Coasters made their way to the Windy City to celebrate their nuptials! Sharon’s mom officiated the ceremony, and a trolley transported these “foodies” and their guests to Spiaggia for a delicious dinner reception!
Surprise engagements are always such an adrenaline rush! Jeremy and I were in cahoots the whole day, and the engagement went off without a hitch despite the gloomy weather. Family and friends were waiting in the background as he popped the question to Alissa!

Faye and Joseph met overseas while Joseph attended school in the UK. Faye’s family flew in from Europe, and we had a blast taking pictures all over Chicago!

Just being around Colleen and Kevin, you can see the love they have for each other. Starting at the Nature Boardwalk of Lincoln Park and ending the night at North Avenue Beach, we had a blast during this engagement session!

What made Natalie and Jin’s wedding so special was all the love their friends and family showed. The intimate details made the day so special, but my most favorite part was when Jin played his own prelude for the ceremony!
