Catherine and Robert’s Chicago engagement session was one of my all-time favorites. All we did was shoot in their home and around their neighborhood, but I just had so much fun getting to know them better! I absolutely could not wait for their wedding. To make it even better, their ceremony was at beautiful Bond Chapel on the University of Chicago campus, and their reception was at Prairie Production, one of my favorite venues! I started off my day with Catherine and her bridesmaids at Art and Science salon in Wicker Park. Deb from Honey and Light Photography was my fantastic second shooter, and she started off with Robert and the guys at the W Hotel Lakeshore. We both made our way down to the University of Chicago campus for the ceremony at Bond Chapel, coordinating our trips so that Catherine and Robert wouldn’t accidentally run into each other! After the ceremony, we walked around the campus for a few minutes to get a few fun portraits of the newlyweds. We made our way to the bus to meet back up with family and friends, and then we headed north for Prairie Production. The reception was a blast, and both family and friends danced the night away! Enough writing already – you’re here for the photos!

Emergency kit, shmergency kit. Catherine had taken little bits of hair from their cats and dog to sniff if she became stressed out. Love!
This game is sitting on my DVR because I hate sitting through a game when I know the result:
