I had the privilege of shooting an awesome wedding up in the Chicago area! You may remember Megan & LaMorris' super fun engagement session. After working with them at this session, I KNEW that their wedding photos would rock because they knew how to work it for the camera! Not to mention, Megan and I are friends on Facebook so I get to see how much she and her friends love to take cute photos! Let me walk you through the day from start to finish!...

Lets start out with a couple of the details!


After shooting the details, I ventured into the ladies' room to find this...

...and THIS! She was sitting here watching Megan get her hair done, and I couldn't resist this shot. The hair, the dress, the necklace, the coffee cup; it ALL looked like she belonged in a fashion magazine! I happen to love this!


Then is was dress time! Yes, it does take LOTS of help to get the dress on without messing up the hair OR makeup!

The finished product = a gorgeous bride!

Megan and LaMorris opted NOT to see each other before the wedding, so we had to make sure that we knew where the guys were at all times so there was no peeking before the wedding!

I love all of the girls' style! They look so great in their little black dresses!




LOVE this shot of Megan!


LaMorris requested some shots on the b-ball court!





Don't the kids look adorable??!! In fact, I had a shoot with Maddy (the flower girl) last summer!


Megan had one request, and that was to get a lot of facial reaction shots during the ceremony. This happens to be one of my faves, but there are SO MANY cute ones!


Then it was time to boogie down!


After the reception, we drove into downtown Chicago to one of my favorite places...Millennium Park! Here we are in front of "the bean" designed by Frank Gehry! For those of you that aren't familiar with "the bean," it's a giant reflective/metallic colored mass that's shaped, well...like a bean, and from certain angles you can see the entire Chicago Skyline in the reflection!

They look so classy!



This might look strange to you at first, but I had the entire wedding party look into the reflection of the bean. I'm in the shot too. Where's Waldo??!!



I thought this one was so cute of Megan laughing with her brothers!

Who would have ever thought that we'd find a spot where we could get beautiful flower along with big buildings in the background??!!

Megan looks BEAUTIFUL! I wanted to get those earrings in a shot as well to show off her glammed-up style!


Also at Millennium Park, they had a really long wall (not sure if it was a construction wall or what) that had a bunch of beautiful art along it. We liked this one because it was a little bit funky and very colorful!


I LOVE this! Checkout all of the people around Megan and LaMorris!





Megan and LaMorris, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day. I can only hope that I captured the love and respect that you two have for each other. I hope you guys had a blast sailing through the Caribbean and made it home safely! Enjoy your slideshow!
