Post by David – Oh that first wedding of the year. Well technically Sarah and Simon were the first of the year since their wedding was on New Years, but we’re talking first full wedding day of the year. Don’t get me wrong the couple of months we usually get off in the winter (like teacher’s in the summer) is a wonderful break and enjoy the cold weather. But as the days get closer we get more and more excited for the wedding season to begin. Missy and Tu’s wedding is going to be one we remember for a long time. Maybe it was the small (very small) glass of whiskey the guys shared with me that morning without even asking. Maybe it was how these two did anything and everything we asked of them for portraits. Maybe it was their awesome church that had absolutely zero restrictions on photography (thank you). Maybe it was the fabulous music (and awesome DJ), the great dancing, the awesome parents, constant chatter of grandparents in foreign languages, or maybe it was just one of those days that seemed to go perfect. For me it was all of those things that made it special.

Missy and Tu, we love you guys. Thank you so very much for having us to your wedding, sharing popcorn with us and to the guys in the morning for laughing at my bad jokes. Thanks for making us feel welcome and we hope to see you two again many many times over.

Much Love,

Sarah and Simon / Chicago

Wedding Ceremony - Peace Lutheran Church
24024 W. Main Street | Plainfield, IL

Wedding Reception - Marriott
1200 Burr Ridge Parkway | Burr Ridge, IL

Post by David - We’ve been so excited to post this wedding but because of our big move and our website redesign, the blog has been a bit behind. A special thanks to Sarah and our other clients who were so patient to be featured on our website! We love you guys.

That said. We love, absolutely love, New Year’s weddings. I think a part of that is because taking photos of people out on the dance floor going crazy is quite possibly our favorite part of the day. With weddings on New Year’s we get quite a few of those images. We get to see people come out of their shells, having an absolute blast, and sometimes during the last fleeting moments it can get pretty emotional. Sarah and Simon’s wedding definitely was an emotional one. Whether it was before she went down the aisle, dancing while her brother played an awesome piece on his guitar, and counting down the minutes until the end of 2011. It got to be a bit much for her and she completely lost it. Just what we like to take photos of. These two were so wonderful to work with and we loved the hours of partying throughout the night that we had the joy of being a part of.

Much Love,
Cathy and David Photographers | Contact | 773-977-8094

Laura and Siddique / Chicago

Wedding Sites – Monty’s Banquet, Crystal Garden at Navy Pier, Ashyana Banquets
Bensenville, Illinois | Chicago, Illinois | Downers Grove, Illinois

Post by David – Laura and Siddique. I’ve been trying my best to think of a way to express our gratitude to you for having us as your photographers. I’ve been thinking of ways to best describe your event, that illustrates the fun and excitement we had every second of every moment of your days. How sad we are that you two are moving to Boston. How much we loved meeting your families. Three days of intense shooting, non-stop, all day long. Your wedding was what inspired us to create a completely new way of doing our bookings, so we could get more weddings like yours where we were there every waking moment, capturing the little things and the things often missed and forgotten. Your wedding was life altering and incredible and we loved every second.

From the day we shot their engagement session in Lincoln Park, Chicago we knew we would love working with these two. They both knew what they wanted, they were characters, and they were real. They love two of our favorite things — food and travel. I swear every time I go on Laura’s facebook page there is a new vacation photo! And keep in mind that Laura is one heck of a photographer herself!Not only that but they hired on our dream team to help take care of their wedding. The details that Yanni and his team put together were absolutely incredible (as always). Kasia who was a last minute addition, did an amazing job at hair and makeup, just like she did for Kaitlin and Vaibhav. They also hired Vlad Chaloupka who is quite possibly one of the best wedding cinematographers in the country (and a super nice guy). We also got introduced to Rehana with DP Event Management who did a stellar job at coordinating their wedding with well over 800 people on one of the days.

Yes. 800 people. Seriously.

Laura and Siddique – thank you again so much for having us as a part of your wedding, for being so loving and kind, for your generous spirits and for being so wonderful to work with. Next time we go out to the east coast we’re going to make it a point to stop in Boston. We’re going to hit you guys up for somewhere to eat and we hope you’ll join us.Thanks again!

Much Love,
Cathy and David Photographers | Contact | 773-977-8094

PS: A special thanks to Ben and Erin for sending Laura our way. Muchos Gracias my friends!
