The other day I met up with Amanda and Wei at the campus of UW in Madison, WI for their engagement photos. What could be better than eating handmade ice cream on a pier over a frozen lake?!

Dan and Katie's Wedding
Dan and Katie's wedding was such a beautiful affair. From the stunning bride's amazing Jimmy Choo's to the dapper groom's adorable bowtie, we couldn't pick our favorite detail! They readied at the J.W.Marriott where we did their first look and a few portraits before heading into the city for some fun with the bridal party. Their elegant and emotion-filled wedding at the Rookery was brimming with love.
We hope you enjoy a few of our favorite images from Dan and Katie's gorgeous winter wedding!

Julie and Jerome's Post-Wedding Portraits
Although circumstances prevented us from being able to do many portraits of Julie and Jerome on their wedding day, we were absolutely thrilled to be able to do some post-wedding portraits with them a few weeks ago! We started our shoot at the Oriental Theater with our own private little tour -- which we were so excited about! Julie and Jerome have a love affair with the theater, so this location was absolutely perfect for them. We couldn't have asked for a prettier, or more fitting location for the two of them.
After the the theater, we made our way over to he Kinzie Street Bridge for a few photos in the blizzard before wrapping things up at the very busy Union Station.
We just love the photos of these two wonderful people, and wish them a lifetime of love and happiness.
Julie and Jerome, you mean the world to us.

Julie and Jerome's Wedding
Julie and Jerome's wedding was one near and dear to my heart. As Julie's older sister, I was so excited for their wedding and was thrilled to play a role in her day as a bridesmaid.Few couples can claim that everything on their day went according to plan and was without mishap. But, I think even fewer people would find themselves in the position that Julie and Jerome found themselves in. The morning of their wedding, Jerome became very, very ill. Throughout the whole day my sister was so supportive, so full of grace and selflessness I was in awe. We carried on the day, hoping Jerome would rally in time for the vows that evening. But, when it came time for the guests to arrive, Julie decided to have the guests eat dinner first, without them, and that they would come in toward the end to say their vows in front of their family and friends. When Julie and Jerome came through the doors of The Boarding House, I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. They made it! As Jerome later said: "I refused to not get married that day." So, they had a beautiful and intimate ceremony, and were surrounded by their closest friends and immediate family. Julie was absolutely breathtaking in her BHLDN gown and holding an amazing bouquet of baby's breath by Fragrant Design. With a jaw-dropping, tear-jerking poem written and performed by our brother, Jimmy, the most beautiful vows and heart-felt ceremony and celebratory toasts, I can honestly say that this wedding was one for the books!
Please take a look at some of our favorite images from their day, and stay tuned for more photos of them as we are doing "wedding portraits" of them tomorrow!
