Meet Liz & Ted! Liz and I played on a volleyball team together here in Chicago a couple years back and I remember her talking about this wonderful guys she met named Ted. Ted lives in Virgina so it was long distance for a long time! Hello frequent flyer miles!

When I saw that they had gotten engaged I was so happy for her despite the fact she’d be leaving Chicago. And I was even more excited when she contacted me about shooting their winter wedding!

They married in the church Liz attends and had their reception at the gorgeous Danada House in Wheaton. They chose to have just a best man and maid of honor for their wedding party which kept things nice and intimate. Although this was a December wedding it was almost 50 degrees! I have no complaints as we were able to do some outdoor photos without freezing!

After their ceremony in which Liz’s dad married them we headed out to Danada House. The reception room was a gorgeous mix of reds and whites provided by Kio Kreations.  I love the added touch of 2 extra cakes with their favorite sports teams!

After a toast, cake and some dancing we snuck out for a few night photos with all the Christmas lights that were up outside. The dance floor was still rocking when we left! Congrats to Liz & Ted!

Ceremony Venue : St. John’s Luthern Church
