Lisa and Sam's wedding reception was held at the same location, Hotel 71, where the movie, "The Dark Knight" was filmed (Harvey Dent's party pad). It's a lovely venue with gorgeous Chicago views.
The entire day was lovely, especially with the addition of Lisa and Sam's two-year-old daughter. While at times, she stole the show with her cuteness, I enjoyed watching Lisa and Sam's superb parenting skills.
Later during the reception, Lisa and Sam took a stroll outside as my second photographer, Maggie Rife, held lighting and I captured Lisa and Sam's romantic embraces. It was such a beautiful scene to behold.
Thank you Lisa and Sam for allowing us to be part of your special day.
Cake: Bittersweet
Florist: Asrai Garden
Venue and Caterer: Hotel 71
Dress: Vera Wang
Make-up: MAC (the MAC counter at Nordstrom's)

(07.07.10 @ 10:48 PM)Thanks Sam and Lisa for sharing these beautiful glimpses of your memorable moments. The composition is incredible. No doubt the background in each picture is perfectly framed to accentuate the mood, but it is the happiness in your eyes, the sweetness in your smiles, and the warmth in your embraces that really stood out. We FEEL your love for each other...
