Sonia and Dario's wedding was laid-back, meaningful and beautiful - much like Sonia and Dario are. I'm completely in love with Sonia's childhood church, St. Alphonsus. It is such a gorgeous cathedral. I also had a piece of their cake, which was the best I've ever had. Almond flavored with chocolate chips then brushed with apricot filling and buttercream frosting with chocolate ganache. OMG!!!
There's something about Sonia and Dario's relationship that moves me. They've been together for a long time and initially thought that marriage wasn't for them. But just like my own husband, they finally got to that place where they knew it was right. During the ceremony, Dario brimmed with emotion during his vows. Let me tell ya, there wasn't a dry eye in the church as he spoke through tears.
Sonia and Dario, thank you for allowing me to be part of your momentous day.

Rachel and Billy braved chilly winds (What? Chicago?) for their engagement session, which started off in my neck of the woods near Andersonville. I just love engagement sessions, because they allow me to get to know a couple before their wedding while at the same time easing their photography worries before their wedding.
Rachel and Billy are so easy to like and it's easy to see they are very much in love. Rachel, who visits my blog regularly, was game for any location during the shoot and never complained about the wind. Of course, she had Billy to snuggle against for warmth.
Rachel and Billy, I'm really looking forward to your wedding next year. Thanks for hiring me!

I love, love. love that wall at the Foster underpass. I've never taken a photo of it but so many times have thought it would make such a good backdrop. And clearly it has. Beautiful photos!
