You probably remember Julie and John from their engagement shoot documented
here. Julie and John were married on, quite possibly, one of the last perfect weather summer days here in Chicago. The ceremony was simple yet elegant and very personal with readings from family members and a ring exchange not just between Julie and John but also with Julie's girls. It was a very moving ceremony and I am so glad for the opportunity to document this day in their lives as husband and wife!
Congratulations Julie and John! - wishing you all the very best life has to offer! - Keep smiling :)
Julie and John opted not to see each other before the ceremony so we decided to do family pictures instead. I love taking pictures of the bride with her father - it always brings a smile to my face when I see the beautiful exchange between parent and child (no matter what their ages may be).
John's groomsmen were so funny! - I told them to loosen up and chill and Bob proceeded to crack the funniest jokes and had all of us in splits :)
I love bridal party pictures! - the posed ones as well as the silly ones :)
What a beautiful family!
These two are so in love - I asked them to take a moment and just absorb the day and each other and they promptly forgot I was even there! :)
Any party that has the dance train can only be a fun, wild event!
The Compass gals! :)
This is one of my favorite pictures from the wedding - Julie's parents dancing to the twist :)
