You may remember Thao and Tim from their engagement session. We walked around downtown Chicago in the early evening shooting, and I had a great time getting to know these two better. After having such a good time with them the first time around, I couldn’t wait for their wedding at the Evanston Woman’s Club! I started out my day with Thao and her bridesmaids as they got ready at their condo in Evanston.
Tim, meanwhile got ready at a nearby hotel. He had a little bit of trouble with… well I’m not quite sure what he’s doing here.
I loved Thao’s wedding shoes!
When the girls were all ready to go, we headed towards the Northwestern campus to meet up with Tim and the guys.
The first look:
Thao and Tim had scouted out a secluded little garden for their first look, and it worked out perfectly!
One of Thao’s bridesmaids designed the bouquets herself; I thought they turned out quite nicely!
There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and there was a great view of Lake Michigan.
We headed over to the Evanston Woman’s Club to meet up with family and prepare for the ceremony.
Art of Imagination did an amazing job with the event design!
Time for the first dance:
Followed by the dance party! There were tons of kids at the wedding, and they were definitely having a great time on the dance floor!
Congratulations again, Thao and Tim. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day. I wish you both nothing but the best!
