emmalinebride.com <--- Great new wedding site!

I happened to stumble upon this site the other day, EmmalineBride.com.   It has everything from DIY wedding ideas to recommended wedding vendors (like me! chck out the illinois vendors section).  A fun place on the web to lose yourself for a while....

Katharine & Ro

Kathie and Ro had a gorgeous Chicago wedding on August 29th. Kathie got ready with her Mom and Bridesmaids at the Hyatt Regency Hotel downtown, where the reception was to be held later that evening. Everyone was so relaxed and just eased right into the day!  Once Kathie was all ready I took a few portraits using the beautiful window light and we were off to the ceremony to get them hitched!

The Ceremony was held at Holy Name Cathedral, such a beautiful choice of location.  We followed up the ceremony by heading out for a photo outing! We started on Michigan Avenue by the Wrigley building and made our way around the city from there.  It was a gorgeous day, sunny with a few clouds, perfect for shooting. Kathie and Ro are always so great to shoot and they are always up for anything!  (I shot their engagement photos in the winter on a very cold and snowy day, but because they were such troopers their shots were beautiful!)

Once we finished our photo safari we headed back to the Hyatt Regency so they could enjoy cocktails with their guests and listen to the Mariachi Band!  And after cake, they danced the night away...
