A wedding in Chicago is like a dream come true for a girl like me.  Having lived there once upon a time for a year, going back was unbelievable.  Especially to document a couple so completely head over heels in love with each other.  You may remember Jared & Michelle from their New York City engagement session back in May.  Hard to believe how fast time has gone by!

Michelle’s details were amazing!  I’m glad I don’t have to choose which I liked best between her shoes, dress and blue bouquet!  This is one bride who doesn’t have to worry about something blue.

Jared is a HUGE Illini fan.  Clearly.  This garter was necessary.

Brides always ask me what the boys are up to.  When I tell them “oh not much” they usually think I’m hiding something.  But no, this is proof.  Thanks to my fabulous 2nd photographer, Clarissa, for these great shots!
