So, what can I say….this wedding was crazy. Crazy is good. I met Christine and Dan at a vendor showcase that I took part in at Asrai Garden. Elizabeth, the owner, is so cool. I really appreciate her telling me great things about Christine and Dan. It was a blast getting to know them and shooting their big day!
This was one of the first things I noticed…

The dress!

Christine was getting ready when I arrived…

Her mother!

And she blows a kiss to her mother when she headed down to the ceremony…


And the ceremony took place in Asrai Garden! Jenny got this great shot. Love it.

Tears all day… LOVED it.

And the ceremony really looked amazing…








A big group shot!

And the guests had a SWEET spread from Mindy at Hot Chocolate…

Dan and Christine stepped outside to celebrate the marriage!


And then we headed in for some fun…



Another Jenny shot!

And one of their friends rode by the ceremony site!

Thanks to Elizabeth for a cool new venue!! Ha!

I had to get a shot of JoJo in Wicker Park on his way to the gay pride parade…

Dan chose the locations. Dan knew. Dan rocked.


I NEED to go back here…

The outfits and tattoos! AH. I loved it.



And then we stopped by Avec in the West Loop. Christine works there a few days a week and that is where she met Dan. It was nice being able to just swing by for some quick shots!

This is the exact spot where they met…


And then we headed to the alley for more shots…


And we ran into this guy… Yes, a dead rat. Classy, I know.

And then Avec set up a photo studio on the sidewalk. =)


More cool spots…




WHAT! Yes, this place exists.

Some graffiti artists in action…

The reception was at The Violet Hour in Wicker Park…

Some details…


Some food…

More food!


Some photo booth fun…



The rings!

And then we headed out for some night shots… Dan built this pavilion in Millenium Park. It was great to be able to go down there and shoot!

This one is my favorite…

Another spot that Dan wanted to shoot at!

And probably one of my favorite shots ever! I really love this one.

Thanks for having me! It was so much fun to do photos for such a long time. It was well worth it!!!
