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!
