From their romantic first look overlooking the stunning Chicago skyline, to their sweet and emotional ceremony in Bridgeport Art Center’s Skyline Loft with the summer afternoon sun shining in from above, to the lively reception filled with laughter and dancing, every detail of the day was absolutely perfect. As a Chicago wedding photographer, documenting a couple’s love for each other that is so genuine and evident in every shot is what makes my job so incredibly rewarding.
