You may remember Mirjana and Matt from their engagement session in downtown Chicago. Due to busy schedules all around, we weren’t able to meet in person before the engagement session, but I was thrilled that both Mirjana and Matt were so much fun to be around! I knew that their wedding at the Odyssey Country Club would be even more fun, so I couldn’t wait to be able to document it for them. I met Mirjana at her parents home where she was getting ready. When she and her bridesmaids were ready to go, we jumped in a limo and headed for the ceremony at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Chicago. The ceremony was in both Croatian and English for everyone to understand! After the ceremony, I jumped onto the trolley with the wedding party and we headed for the Odyssey Country Club in Tinley Park. We spent some time taking some fun photos with the wedding party around the grounds, but eventually, the heat pushed us indoors to freshen up before the reception. Guests were offered a shot of Courvoisier as they entered the reception. I heard from some that it was tradition, but whatever it was, it got the party started! DJ Sound Sonic and Croatian band Ludi Ritam took turns keeping everyone entertained and dancing all night. Congratulations again, Mirjana and Matt! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to document your wedding day. I had so much fun, and I wish you both nothing but the best!

So much laughter in these photos – it looks like such a fun wedding!
Such emotion and beauty! I love the photo of them watching the toasts.
I love the gorgeous darkened room shot in silhouette. Nice work!
That last one is awesome with the moon and clouds in the background!
Some great moments capture, well done. Particularly like the first dance photos. Great work!
Love the emotion you’ve captured throughout this whole set – the bride coming down the aisle is a great example of that! The group shot on the bridge also works great, and that silhouetted shot of the reception is really excellent.
Awesome use of natural light in the morning shots – so dreamy – and then right back up at the same level with your own lighting in the evening. The back-lit first dance shot is wonderful.
I love the photo of the best man giving the speech. LOVE IT!
So many cool candid pics!! Your pics are great!
Steve the pictures are amazing!!!! I cannot wait to see the rest! You did such a great job! :)
