Even though Chicago decided to give us Winter instead of Spring, I haven’t enjoyed a wedding this much in quite a while. I just completely adore Andrea & Rob. These two just get it. They were so ready to be married. They enjoyed their day. Sounds simple and obvious but these few elements are the key to a wonderful day and unbelievable images. Andrea is just a joy to be around and included me as one of her gals for the day. I am always touched when trusted to walk right into people’s lives and stories.
Andrea and Rob had an amazing team. They had a gorgeous event with stunning florals by Fleur and flawless planning by Heather at Greatest Expectations. Makeup by Andie Cumber.
This is only Part 1!!! Tomorrow will be complete with downtown Chicago, bridges, recpetion details at Fulton’s on the River and night photography!! Stay tuned!
Andrea & Rob’ handsome lab was also ready for the event!
The ceremony was at St. Benedict Parish. Shot below by Eric.
