I can’t imagine kicking off 2017 with a more fun and amazing couple than Ananda and Rob! You may remember them from their fall engagement session (see that HERE).
I met the ladies at Hotel Lincoln where Ananda was all smiles and laughs before heading out to meet her groom. To say it was a cold day would be the understatement of the year. With the windchill it was single digits. It was cold. It was very very cold. But that wasn’t going to stop up!
We met Rob around the corner were he was waiting for his bride with a horse and carriage. We jumped on board and headed over to Cafe Brauer where they had their first date for a few photos. Thanks to Pickles the horse for being a trooper!
After a very quick run outside with the bridal party we warmed up at A New Leaf where they had their ceremony and reception. Being the incredibly crafty people that they are, most of the decorations and sign were made by them! And a hot chocolate bar?! Yes please!!
Congratulations to the newlyweds! Here are some of my favorites!

I figure since these two are getting married this month I should finally blog their engagement session! You may remember them from their proposal (see that here). This time was a little easier as I wasn’t trying to hide behind trash barrels so Jackie wouldn’t see me!
We started out at Map Room which just so happens to be their neighbor so let’s just say they’ve spent some time here! And it’s a super cool bar!
From there we wandered around the neighborhood stopping here and there. And they didn’t even blink an eye when I suggested we hang out under the train tracks!
Can’t wait for the big day! Here are some of my favorites.

Meet Andi & Jaan! Andi and I go way back to our high school days, so I was thrilled when she reached out to me about shooting their wedding! You may remember them from their engagement session (you can see it HERE).
Although they now live in Texas, they decided to marry in the Chicago area where they used to live and were closer to family. We had a beautiful summer day for their outdoor ceremony. And of course we had to take advantage of the outdoor options at the venue and the bridges (hence the name seven bridges!). This was one of the most gorgeous sunsets of the year!
Here are some of my favorites from the big day!
