Sara + Rob: Meaningful, Cozy, and just-plain-happy Chicago Wedding

Sara + Rob are the absolute best. They are the kind of people who acknowledge everyone in the room and make sure everyone around them is happy and comfortable. They are incredibly close with their families and have tight friendships. They have been through the ringer over the last few years, but they are grounded in who they are, what and who they love, and in their relationship with each other. They got married on a cold, crisp January day in 2020, and celebrated first at St. Alphonsus Church, and moved to Galleria Marchetti for a fabulous evening of food, candlelight, and dancing. I shed a few tears during their ceremony, and even more during speeches, and it was an absolute pleasure to be part of their wedding. It is such a joy to share these images with you. Congratulations to The Sheehans!

Chelsea + Drew: Whimsical, Dreamy Chicago Wedding

Chelsea + Drew love each other and their families fiercely. They are loyal, kind, and crack some of the best jokes. They are both so open and warm - most of our meetings happened in their beautiful home, where the wine would flow and their pups would join right in. Their wedding was on a perfect August Saturday in the garden at Salvage One, a lush, green space nestled right behind the well-known antique shop. There was a stillness to their ceremony that was so moving. It was our pleasure to be part of their wedding day, and it is such a joy to share these images with you. Congratulations, Chelsea + Drew!

Emily + Jorge: Passionate, Intimate, Candlelit Chicago Wedding

Where do I even begin with these two? Emily + Jorge are two college friends of mine, but have grown into some of my most favorite adult and couple friends. Jorge is hilarious and genuine, and Emily is determined and absolutely brilliant. They are college sweethearts with a flame for life and for each other. They planned a beautiful November wedding at Chicago’s Bridgeport Art Center, surrounded by their best people. The wedding was situated around Día de Muertos, a holiday important to Jorge’s Mexican heritage, and the couple wove his Latin culture in with her Jewish roots, culminating in a colorful, joyful, and seriously fun wedding. They even had a (all-female!) mariachi band play the Hora… it was spectacular. A huge, huge congratulations to The Silvas.
