michelle & jared :: chicago, il

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!


Michelle, ready to see her groom.









Time to head to the venue for more photos! They had a fabulous get away car.



When I saw these golf carts all lined up, I couldn’t resist!





Time for a few more photos with Jared & Michelle…





They held a traditional (pre-ceremony) ketubah ceremony.












I just adored the blue accents everywhere. Chandler’s in Schaumburgh didn’t miss a beat!

















Congrats you two!!


Jared and Michelle’s vendors … coming soon! (if you were one, feel free to email me your info, I’m happy to link you!)
Wondering where the beautiful flowers came from? My daughter is getting married, and her colors are blue and purple, these are amazing.
I’m getting married next year and love those flowers. Who was the florist?
