Last month, a very happy Megan and Taylor tied the knot at Kenilworth Union Church on Chicago’s north side. After postponing their group celebration to next year, I was so excited that they decided to honor the original date! Taylor and Megan wed in an intimate afternoon ceremony surrounded by immediate family. The joy on their faces is exactly what the day was about!

Some of my favorite details were part of their original plan… and some were brand new (note their clever Save the Dates!). Megan and Taylor had always envisioned a ceremony at Kenilworth Union – Taylor’s family church since childhood. His father has a stone in the beautiful Memorial Garden, where we spent some time before the ceremony.

After the knot was tied, we traveled to nearby Indian Hill Club for some stunning newlywed photos! Believe it or not, this venue was not part of their original plan! It was a perfect fall evening, the leaves were beginning to change, and the newlyweds were all smiles. What more could a photographer ask for?! Eventually, the sun went down, and it was time for me to say goodbye. I sent these two off to dine with their guests… and bask in Newlywed Bliss 🙂

Megan and Taylor: Thanks again for having me this October! I couldn’t be happier for you two… can’t wait to celebrate again next year!!
