Tesla and Eric journeyed from Minneapolis to Chicago via train for a destination wedding and hired me for their wedding portrait session. Doesn't this sound so romantic?
We couldn't have asked for better light and these two were soooo happy and into each other. You'll quickly see why Eric is in love with Tesla. She radiates warmth and was careful even to the little bug that landed on her during the shoot.
I can't seem to find the words to tell how special this portrait session felt. What Eric and Tesla have is so beautiful to witness firsthand. I especially love the last photo where they are both dreamily smiling to themselves. Congrats!!

By the time Lisa and Daniel's brunch reception wrapped up, it was around noon and the sun was bright overhead - not the ideal time for a portrait session. Fortunately, we were near Berwyn Avenue in Andersonville, which is such a lovely shaded street with meticulously landscaped lawns.
Lisa and Daniel, thank you for the honor of photographing your wedding. It was such a pleasure!

Laurie, thank you so much! We are honored as well. You are so patient and sweet, and we so enjoyed that afternoon session. We were both relaxed and savoring the feeling that started with our ceremony that morning.

First off, I want to give a couple shout outs to the lovely vendors I didn't mention last time. For Lei Lei's lovely jewelry, check out Heatherly Designs. For the cute little birdies on top of Lei Lei and Steven's cake, check out Minori Design.
So now onto the "Trash the Dress" or "Rock the Dress" session Lei Lei and Steven did after their wedding. The entire session lasted less than an hour, but boy did these two work it. Funny side story: I asked Lei Lei what her favorite color is so we could find a door she'd love. In little less than 2 minutes after my question, we found it. Moral of the story: Ask and you shall receive. :)
This shoot is very urban, yet you could easily have one of these sessions in a park or nature preserve. Totally up to you.
Enjoy!
Because we all can't get enough of Lei Lei and Steven, here's a slideshow of more images from their wedding.
Also, feel free to check out my wonderful second photographer, Steve Koo, to see the images he captured.
