Post by David • So Laura’s family has been to Disneyworld over a dozen times. These are our kind of people! 😀 After shooting so many destination sessions, it was really nice to shoot a wedding in Chicago again. More than that, it was nice to shoot a fall wedding that had portraits scheduled at the perfect time — the two hours before sunset. That almost never happens for us. It’s part of the reason I love fall and winter weddings. The leaves, the crisp air, the lack of sweating, I love all of it. And even though it was really cold and our chasing the sun sometimes felt like it was more about getting warm than getting photos, we had a great time! Cathy’s favorite part was the limo ride that morning, reserved just for immediate family where she got to see them all interacting and laughing together. And to be honest that’s how the rest of the wedding felt. They were all about their family and friends, all about having fun with them and that’s something we always look for with our couples! 🙂 Thanks Laura and Aj for having us be a part of it!

Much love,
Cathy and David
