The last time I saw Jiyoun and Keunsuk was at their Millennium Park engagement session. I had a ton of fun with them the first time around, and I couldn’t wait for their wedding at the Chicago Botanic Garden! I started off my day with Jiyoun as she got ready at the Westin North Shore. Carley from Sonia Roselli did a great job with Jiyoun’s hair and makeup. When she was ready, we went downstairs to the lobby to do our first look. After Jiyoun and Keunsuk saw each other, we all jumped in a limo and headed towards the Chicago Botanic Garden. We had plenty of time before the ceremony, so we walked around the beautiful grounds doing some fun photos along with the best man and maid of honor. Afterwards, we headed back to McGinley Pavilion for the ceremony. The bride and groom did a sand ceremony before their vows. Once the ceremony was over, it was time for the reception! Everyone had a fantastic time celebrating, and Brent from Fig Media kept the dance floor packed all night. Congratulations again, Jiyoun and Keunsuk! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day; I wish you nothing but the best!

OMG! Love these pictures! I told you you were awesome Steve!~ I love that split pic of the two rooms in the hotel with Jiyoun’s parents in one and Jiyoun with Carly in the other getting ready… And of course the “No crying after makeup” pic… :)

Gorgeous couple, they’re so cute together! There’s so much positive energy radiating from them :)
