Lauren & Sam’s Colorful June Wedding at The Adler Planetarium

It’s such a treat to reminisce about Lauren and Sam’s June Adler Planetarium wedding! These two truly had a wedding day adventure, and I’m so happy to have been there to capture it. The day began with them getting ready separately at The Gwen, and their joyful first look on the hotel’s terrace! Once Sam and Lauren were together, it was ALL smiles for the rest of the day 🙂

Rolls Royce Wedding Photos

Shortly after their first look, our own private car pulled up to the hotel and our adventure began! Driver Peter took us on a downtown tour in a classic 1957 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud I, stopping for photos in a few iconic spots along the way. We even had time to swing by Sam and Lauren’s home for photos with their pup Flora! Isn’t she the sweetest?! Finally, it was time to arrive at the venue in style and for these two to make it official!

Adler Planetarium Wedding

Lauren and Sam were married in under a golden sky on Chicago’s lakefront, steps outside the Adler Planetarium. A family friend officiated the ceremony, which included personal vows and the most vibrant spring florals. That evening, the Newlyweds got to celebrate with loved ones inside the Solarium and outside overlooking our city’s epic skyline. The dance party did NOT disappoint, and Lauren and Sam were as in love as ever. I’m so lucky to have been part of this happy day!

Lauren and Sam: Thank you again for trusting us to capture your memories this year! I wish you the very best in Married Life!!!

Colorful Indian Fusion Wedding in Humboldt Park – Amrita & Patrick

To say Humboldt Park is in my backyard is… not an exaggeration at all! You can find me there on a weekly basis either running, bicycling, or chasing alligators (what’s up, Chance?). So, when Amrita and Patrick told me about their Indian fusion wedding in the park, my head filled with ideas!

Because they had already officially tied the knot, all these two wanted was to celebrate. Amrita designed and created the decor herself, and even made personal gifts for their family! One of the many ways she chose to honor her late father was by repurposing his wedding band as her own.

Humboldt Park Wedding

Something I truly love about wedding days is the unexpected, and this is one I’ll never forget. Just as the outdoor ceremony was about to begin, Mother Nature decided to join us! The sky burst open, rain fell down, and guests raced inside to take cover. As a result, Amrita and Pat exchanged vows under a tent to the romantic sound of summer rain. Kudos to planner Rachel from Ohana Events for making it happen!!

Guests celebrated all night with food, drink, dance, and so much love. I’m lucky I got to steal them away for a few newlywed photos in the park before dark! Pat and Amrita were on cloud nine through it all… I mean, what’s not to smile about?!

Amrita and Pat: Thanks again for having us in July! Your wedding day was a blast to capture, we wish you all the BEST 🙂
