I met Emily (and her sweet mom, Angie) back in January and we immediately hit it off. We had about 5 months to pull together her wedding at the Chicago History Museum, and I almost wish we had longer to plan… only because I loved working with Emily THAT much!! Â I have never met anyone as sweet and appreciative as Emily! After every meeting, or even every email I sent, Emily expressed her genuine appreciation for my help. And believe me, a little thanks goes a long way
I was thrilled when they chose photographer, Dennis Lee, to capture their wedding day! Thanks, Dennis, for the beautiful photos!
Fun, vibrant bridesmaids bouquets with coral charm peonies and green trick.
I love this photo of Emily and her twin sister, Allison!
The stunning bride…

You’ll see touches of the navy and white stripes subtly incorporated throughout the wedding… A gentle nod to the fact that the wedding was over the Fourth of July holiday weekend!
