I showed up to photograph Kelsea at the awesome Blackstone Hotel in the south loop. The rooms were perfect!
The beautiful bride…
Some accessories…
The groom with some advice for the big day!
And it was time for Kelsea to get in her dress…
Killer shoes!
And a party foul before we even get started!
Kelsea’s mom helps her with some last minute adjustments while her father takes in the incredible view from the window…
Loving this wallpaper!
Ryan gets a call from me to let him know we are headed his way for their first meeting!
And they start their day together…
Yes, he brought a unicycle. You can only imagine how excited I was!
Love this one!
We jumped on the shuttle for our journey around town…
Some well wishes from below…
Look! We ran into Kate and Drew. I am shooting their wedding later this week!
I love this shot of Kelsea.
Kelsea’s mother was not a fan of the Jameson!
We had to bring out the unicycle again…
I am not sure what is going on here but I had to post it!
We made our way to the ceremony and reception site…
A quick shot before we headed inside.
The South Shore Cultural Center was amazing! This was my first time shooting there and I can’t wait to go back.
The ceremony…
One of the usher’s was standing in some amazing light!
The ceremony site…
Ryan makes his way down the aisle…
The view from the Solarium.
Ryan gets a hug from Kelsea’s mother as she makes her way down the aisle…
Kelsea’s brother had a hard time getting through his reading…
She had a hard time too!
So did mom…
Her father and a few friends performed a special song for the couple.
The beautiful room!
Ryan’s mother…
I really like this shot of the unity candles!
And with the rings, they did it!
Kelsea waiting outside for the family photos to begin.
And her mother jumped in for the first shot! I love this one.
Ryan gets his cocktail on!
A few details from the day…
What a great name. Lucille Lipe! Love it.
I am a huge fan of the terrarium centerpiece!
Mmm….Hot Chocolate!
Kelsea purchased these cute wedding toppers from The Small Object. I had the pleasure of working with them at Indie Wed. I love their stuff!
Time for the party to start!
The first dance…
This room was killing me!! So cool!
One of Kelsea’s bridesmaids made her wedding cake. Time to make a mess of it!
Some speeches…
Some tears…
The maid of honor put together a photo montage for Kelsea. The bride and groom went to prom together and she included that hilarious shot in the collection!
Her brother toasted himself! =)
Some dancing!
A cumberbun dance!
She was not a fan of the shot she got from the photo booth!
We start the day with the unicycle and we end the night with it!
Thanks for the fun!!!
