What a better way to end the year than with an amazing intmate wedding?! No better way!

I met Karen and Alan a couple weeks before the big day and I instantly loved them. I couldn’t wait for their wedding day where they would join their two families together. I me them and their 4 daughters at The Drake Hotel before heading to city hall for their ceremony. I’ve never seen marriage court so busy! It was wild in there, but we used the wait time to take some family photos upstairs with the beautiful architecture.

It was very very cold during the day, but they braved the winter crazyness for some outdoor photos.

After that we  were joined by a few more family members for lunch at Disotto Enoteca.

Thank you to Karen and Alan for allowing me to capture your wedding day!

Since it was New Year’s Eve they had all their decorations up for the party at The Drake so we took advantage!

Time for the ceremony!

Love this shot of the girls checking out Dad’s new ring!

And then it was a very quick stop at the LaSalle Bridge (like jump in and jump out of the limo quick)…. and very windy!

From there we headed to Millenium park where they went to a concert on their first date… still cold, but definitley less windy!

And then it was off to Disotto Enoteca!
