It was so humbling when Lauren reached out to me saying that she had been following my work and desired for me to capture her and John’s wedding. Lauren was a good friend throughout college back in the suburbs of Chicago and to know she had been following my work meant a ton. She has an incredible heart, loves others so well, and knows how to mix a great cocktail. Seriously though, that’s what she’s known for.  Check out her blog here and if you’re ever in Chicago, go say hey to her at either the rooftop or lobby bar at the Loews Hotel. I’m so proud of all that she’s accomplished!

From knowing Lauren, I knew that John had to be something special. After watching them together for only a day, their love is so evident in how they look at one another, laugh together, and support one another.

One of the aspects I loved most about their wedding was that it was not your typical wedding day. It really just seemed like a big group of their closest friends were hanging out for the day playing mini golf at Novelty Golf, grabbing a hot dog and fries at the Bunny Hutch, and taking pictures in the photo booth. Their ceremony and reception took place at Monasteros.

Thank you Lauren and John for trusting me to capture your wedding day and bringing me back to my favorite city on earth to do so. Hope you enjoy this quick glimpse!
