Meet Emily & Joe! I went to college with Emily’s brother Ben so I was thrilled when he reached out to me about shooting his sister’s wedding in Chicago (Thanks Ben! ). I had a chance to meet them at Indie Wed and was so excited when they booked me!

We started the day out at Emily’s parent’s house for getting ready, first look, a blessing and tea ceremony. From there we headed to Chinatown to Ping Tom park for photos before their ceremony (my new favorite photo spot!). Glessner House Museum has such an amazing history and beautiful courtyard space for ceremonies. It doesn’t hurt that it’s next door to Women’s Park which I love as well. Guests were able to enjoy the space after the ceremony with a short cocktail hour before heading to Phoenix restaurant for dinner. And boy did we have dinner! We don’t always get to eat what the guests are eating, but in this case Emily and Joe were kind enough to include us in the meal and we were stuffed!

Congrats to Emily and Joe and thank you again for allowing us to be a part of your day!
