I LOVED this session! I met Gina and David out at the Naperville Riverwalk on a gorgeous fall evening. It was my first time to this location and I could have shoot here forever. It was the perfect time of year where all the leaves have started to change and the colors were amazing. A big thanks to Gina and David for spending the evening with me and letting me shoot a TON of photos! Can’t wait for their wedding in Summer of 2013!

Welcome to Jenn and Brian’s most excellent wedding! My wonderful associate Allie shot this wedding in Indianapolis at the super cool Speakeasy. I had never heard of this venue for a wedding as it’s usually a members only place. I love the urban vibe and feel of the venue. And it’s in the heart of Broad Ripple!
Jenn and Brian kept things low key with just two members of their wedding party and Brian’s three boys joining in the fun.
Here are some of my favorites from their big day!
** If you’re getting married in Indianapolis or southern Indiana in 2013 keep in mind that Allie is available to shoot in addition to me! Contact me for more info – becky@beckybrownphotograpy.com**

Becca and Mike were married on a gorgeous Friday in Fall at Loft on Lake in their west loop neighborhood. I’ve been so excited about this wedding as I knew Becca was going for a classic romantic theme and boy did she deliver! From her stunning lace gown, to the soft golden glow of the candles at the reception it was the perfect mix of classic and modern.
I met the girls at the hotel after hair and makeup for some finishing touches. From there it was off on the trolley to meet the boys for the first look and some shots around the city.
They had both the ceremony and reception at Loft on Lake so while they were flipping the room the guests enjoyed cocktail hour and we snuck out for the last few minutes of daylight near the Board of Trades.
All in all it was an amazing day. The only thing I would change is how short I am! Mike is the tallest groom I’ve ever had so my step stool got a workout that day! Congrat to Becca and Mike. Here are a few of my favorites from their big day.

If I can I always try to sneak my couple outside for some night photos. In this case we were right under the L tracks – it doesn’t get much more Chicago than that! Thanks to my previous bride Emily for being my lighting assistant for these shots! Warning to all my brides, I might put you to work if your a guest at a wedding I’m shooting! haha

And last but not least me and the happy couple! Thanks to Mike for going into a deep squat for this photo so I didn’t look like I was 3 ft tall!
