I stumbled across the opportunity to photograph a styled session at Stan Mansion, a very popular, extravagant Chicago wedding venue.
ashley & micah: e-session
I met Ashley a few short months ago right after her engagement. As we were chatting about her wedding plans, I quickly learned that she was having a short engagement; and I was SO impressed with how she knew exactly what she wanted and yet was so easy going. She is the most bubbly, happy person I've met, so I knew when it came time to meet Micah and shoot their e-session, he had to be a pretty special guy. These two LIT. UP. on camera and I'm sure it's kind of obvious when looking at their e-session. I loved the summer country vibes of this shoot and it's perfect for their September wedding that will be held at Abbey Farms! I can't wait to see this awesome couple in a few short weeks become man and wife :)
mr. and mrs. cappetta
I was SO ecstatic to be shooting a wedding downtown and then when I learned that not only would it be downtown, it would be in an art gallery I was giddy! These images are so contrasting to what I usually shoot so it was so fun to try something new! Everything about this wedding was just so novel and I couldn't get enough. For starters, the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all took place in front of beautiful sculptures and murals. You couldn't turn without seeing another beautiful backdrop. Then let's talk about dinner. STATIONS. Asian station. Slider station. Pasta station. YUM! Once the dance floor got warmed up, a candy bar station was set up for people's goodie bags. I mean; seriously...so much fun! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. and thank you for letting me witness this beautiful day!
