I had a blast working with Brad, Chrissy and Brutus (their boxer) during their engagement session. I was really excited about their wedding and the very cool reception at Volo in Roscoe Village.
I started with Chrissy…



The dress…

And the very cool JCrew shoes!

Her earrings… I was a little detail crazy at her place!

Her mother helps her get into her dress…

A last minute fix and we were on our way to the ceremony…

I love the elevator ‘paparazzi’ shot!

And Aaron was with the guys as they left for the ceremony…

The ceremony was at the Cancer Survivor’s Garden downtown. I was excited to see that too! I love shooting at new places.

A shot of her mother…


And then we arrived…

Chrissy and her father…

Brad watching her head down the aisle…

Her mother…




They had a friend perform the ceremony.

The light was SO great…






I would have to say it was one of the quickest ceremonies I have ever photographed! I snapped FAST. =)


I love the way she is looking at Brad in this one!

We grabbed a few shots before we jumped back on the trolley!


Someone took a post ceremony nap…


I think this may be one of my favorite trolley shots!


And then…a bridge!



And we were off again! We were heading to their ‘hood…




We shot here for their engagement session too! Now they have an informal and formal shot. =)

And these guys were ready to head to the bar!

A great way to end the photo spree!




Pink polka dot socks!?! Come on! STYLIN’…

One more shout out to their home turf!

And then it was party time!

Some details…


Mmmm….food!


Her bouquet…




Brad’s mother arrives…

And the guests keep coming!

This place was such a cool and unique venue for a wedding AND they have some amazing food!

Some random cocktail hour shots…



The first dance…



Chrissy and her father…

A quick speech…


The cake!

And then just plain craziness…


Someone sat a little too close to the candle!


PARTY FOUL!

I think this one is pretty funny.

And this one too!


Brad and Chrissy with their ‘Hawaii’ friends!

The guys headed outside for a cigar…

And so did this ghost! WHAT THE H@#$??!

How cool are Brads cufflinks? Brutus (their dog) WAS there. Kind of. =)

Thanks for having me!
