Meet Dena and Poonam! They have been together for 10 years and thankfully they were finally able to get legally married last month!  As soon as I met them I knew working with them would be a blast… and I was right! There were lots of laughs, smiles, and  a few tears (not going to lie I teared up during the ceremony) and the best part is we get to do all over again in September for their reception/party in Michigan!

I met them at the train so we could ride downtown together and sneak a few photos in while doing so which was quite the adventure thanks to some “interesting” fellow passengers. From there it was a quick stop at the LaSalle bridge before meeting their parents and a couple of friends at city hall. City Hall on a Saturday = madness. The line was literally down the hallway and out the door. Thankfully their parents had already secured a spot and by the time we got there we were at the front.

After their short but sweet ceremony we went upstairs for some group photos. Most of the city hall weddings I’ve done have been on weekdays when all the offices are open and there are a bunch of people coming and going. It was nice to be able to take some photos with the gorgeous architecture without strangers in the background!

We then made a quick stop by the Chicago theater and fnished up in the south garden in the Art Institute.

Here are a few of my favorites!
