So this was a fun one and a little reunion of sorts. I know Erin from when we were young (like 8, 9, 10 years old young) and did gymnastics together at the Oak Lawn Park District. We got back in touch via Facebook as adults and she approached me about her recent engagement to John. I met with them up in Lincoln Square back in 2011 and Erin and I chatted and took some time to catch up. It had been YEARS since I've seen her. No, not years. Almost two decades?!! Erin looked EXACTLY the same. Just taller. :)
Wedding :: Trisha + Phil [Rosemont Convention Center]
Trisha and Phil's attention to detail made their wedding at the Stephenson Convention Center feel beautiful and intimate, with a little bit of an edge. Phil is a bit a of a techie and created a way for guests to text well wishes to the bride and groom, which displayed on a giant screen throughout the reception. The couple not only danced their first dance to Yellow Card's 'Only One', they rocked out on vocals and guitar pretty hard. And it was awesome. :)
Wedding :: Caitlin + Dan [Holy Family Church; Pazzo's, Chicago]
I had the honor and pleasure of second shooting this wedding with one of my colleagues and friends, Tracy Petersen. Surrounded by great friends and family, Caitlin and Dan got married at Holy Family Church in Chicago, which was followed by their reception at Pazzo's. One of my favorite moments was the first look. Check out her expression below.
