This wedding will forever go down as one of my favorites and one of the hottest of all time! With the heat index near 100 I was worried that we’ve have some issues convincing anyone outside for photos. Amazingly I didn’t hear a single person in the wedding party complain all day about how hot it was! A big shoutout to all the families and wedding party for being troopers!

I started the day with Kimmy and the girls at her parent’s house while Carrie headed to the hotel with the guys. From there we ventured to Cantigny Park for some before photos. At the time of their outdoor ceremony the heat was still in the 90’s. Thankfully water bottle were supplied and the clouds were coming in and out providing some relief.

I have always loved Cantigny for outdoor ceremonies. It’s such a grand outdoor venue with the long staircase and walk down. It’s definitely a favorite! They said I do and we took some group photos and a few moments with the couple before heading to Cantigny Golf for some much much need AC.

This day was filled with so many emotions. I think I cried during dad’s speech! And then things kicked off on the dance floor and it was packed from that first moment on. I didn’t want to leave!

We managed to sneak Kimmy and Adam out at sunset for what are some of my favorite shots of the day!

Congrats to Kimmy and Adam!
