It had been nearly a year since I last saw Taylor and Patrick at their Chicago engagement session, but I still remembered them well. Aside from learning some new information about my dog Charlie (Taylor is a veterinarian), these two were so much fun to be around! The big day had finally arrived, and I couldn’t wait to work with them again at their Prairie Production wedding. I started my day with Taylor and the girls as they got ready at their home. Since Patrick was getting ready at a friend’s place only a few minutes away, we did our first look outside the apartment before jumping into a limo for wedding party photos. After a couple stops downtown, we headed the west loop to Prairie Production. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, so the ceremony was outdoors in the courtyard. Taylor and Patrick’s dog, Finn, was a part of both the ceremony and reception, which I loved! I’m done talking – onto the photos!
I loved Taylor’s green shoes:
Finn was resting up, since he was going to be a part of the wedding day, too!
Patrick got ready at his friend’s apartment only a few blocks away.
This may the first time that I’ve ever had a bride washing dishes before the wedding.
Time for the first look:
The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony!
The outdoor courtyard at Prairie Production:
I loved that Finn recessed down the aisle with them!
Loved how Prairie Production looked:
Time for some dancing. I love the lanterns at Prairie Production!
I snuck outside at the end of the night with just Taylor and Patrick for a couple quick photos:
Congratulations again Taylor and Patrick; thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day. I wish you both nothing but the best!
