Welcome to my first Chicago wedding of 2014! I was so excited to spend the day with Emily and Tony. After meeting them at their engagement session last year (you can see that here) I knew it was going to be a day filled with smiles and love! We had absolutely perfect weather which was lucky considering it seemed like winter would never end!

Emily and Tony are two of the sweetest people I’ve worked with and after meeting their families I know where they get it from! Everyone was so helpful and welcoming that I wish I would work with them all the time (hint hint to the younger siblings…. call me when you get engaged 🙂 .

After first look at the hotel we headed out to get some shots around the city before their evening ceremony and reception at Embassy Suites. I highly recommended doing this if you are having your ceremony and reception in the same location. It will bring the stress level way down, allow time for photos at different locations and best of all you don’t have to miss cocktail hour!

As they wern’t wonderful  enough I also got to work with my friend Jesse from Love’s Reel and the guys from Luxe Productions who rocked the reception and lighting….. or as I like to call us “The Dream Team” haha.

Here are some highlights of their day!
