Katie and Paul are a sweet, laid back couple who met in college at the University of Illinois. Katie happens to be one of my classmates from graduate school so I was very excited when she asked me to photograph her wedding in Chicago!
Wow! Just stunning, Katie!!
Katie wanted one thing any Chicago bride in the winter would want: snow. The forecast had a slim chance of snow, but between the time of walking down the aisle and saying, “I do”, there was a beautiful snowfall! Fluffy, white flakes fell from the sky and created a fresh sheet of snow just in time for a few pictures outside.
Aren’t these mittens adorable? Paul’s mom knitted them herself!
Because the bakery had placed cardboard between the cake layers, it was not the prettiest slice of cake cut but, believe me, it was very delicious! Katie and Paul had requested for slices of cake to individually be packaged for guests to take home after the reception. Who could ask for a better midnight snack after a night of celebrating and dancing?!
Congratulations Katie and Paul!!
