Corinne and John have some wonderful friends and family. Not only were they incredibly excited for the wedding, they were all really friendly and made me feel more like a guest than the photographer. Corinne got ready at the house she grew up in, and I met up with her there in the morning. The ceremony was held at Holy Family Catholic in Palatine. Afterwards, I got on the trolley with the bridal party and we were off to the reception! The reception took place at the Esplanade Lakes in Downers Grove, and while en route, we found a huge, empty field to stop at for some pictures. During the cake-cutting, Corinne and John were serenaded by some family members, and both Corinne’s maid of honor and John’s brother delivered emotional, thoughtful toasts. Thank you Corinne and John for letting me be a part of your day, and congratulations again!

My favorite shot is the prep one with the bride getting made up and the strong dramatic lighting. Very well executed imo.
