Alex and Courtney got married this Fall and it was so much fun to photograph their wild and colorful day.  We started out at Hotel Allegro where Courtney and the bridesmaids were mixing mimosas and getting done up.  I jogged down the hall where the dudes were having a TV party and priming up for the big day that was ahead.  Our lovely couple caught their first glimpses of each other outside of the hotel and in front of the Cadillac Theater and then we jumped on a trolly and headed to the lakefront to catch a breeze and an eyeful of that endless Chicago Skyline.  Away we went to Carvivale, where the ceremony and the rest of  the evening’s festivities were about to begin.  After smiles, tears, cheers and a surprise Hall and Oates sing-a-long, the marriage was official.  Now it was time for everybody to wine, dine and dance.  Ruby, from Toast and Jam, provided the soundtrack to a nonstop dance party that worked the crowd in to a wilder and wilder frenzy as the night moved on.  I barely made it out in one piece!  Alex and Courtney’s wedding ruled!  I’m so glad to have been a part of it.

FRANK AND KEVIN

Frank and Kevin’s wedding was off the hook!  I met up with them at their place, where they were helping each other tie ties and clip on cuff links.  Then, we strolled a few blocks to Grace Episcopal, where the ceremony was about to get underway.  After some heart melting words and a few cheerful serenades, our handsome couple were married.  With tears of cheer and ear-to-ear smiles, we made our way to the church’s lower level to eat, drink and party!  The cozy vibe of Frank and Kevin’s celebration shined like the television snack trays that they buffed, brought and dined from in lieu of a head table.  After the guests chomped through a mountain of Southern style comfort food, it was time to hit the dance floor.  The whole room shook, shouted, shimmied the rest of the night away.   It was an honer to shoot such a fun and cheerful day!
