It’s been a crazy couple of weeks for me but I could not let another day go by without sharing the rest of Natalia & Todd’s fantastic day.  A rooftop ceremony at Lightology with a gorgeous view of the Chicago skyline, followed by a feast to end all feasts at the Brazilian steakhouse, Zed451. From beginning to end these two laughed and snuggled, and partied it up with their closest friends and family.  It is couples like Todd & Natalia who make me feel so absolutely lucky to have this job.  But more than anything, it is clear to everyone who sees them together that they are each convinced that they are the luckiest in the world to have found the other.

Natalia & Todd,

You are the greatest.

Best,

Kelly

You’d better watch out. These two? They are contagious. Their laughter, their happiness, their love. Absolutely contagious and I could not stop smiling all day. Natalia’s gorgeous smile and Todd’s quiet contentment that was just as bright, well, I just love these two. As I sorted through images to prepare a blog post I just couldn’t narrow the number down to a reasonable amount for just one post. So there will be two, stay tuned.

It all started when Natalia & I headed out to meet Todd who was waiting on the shore of Lake Michigan for a first look, followed by a stop at all of my favorite spots around Chicago. Have I mentioned how I love these two?

Natalia & Todd,

Gorgeous. Stunning. Sweet. Fun. And so much more. Thank you.

Best,

Kelly

Angela & Russ are headed to Bora Bora for their amazing honeymoon but maybe this sneak peek will catch them before their flight leaves…

They say that the over time, wedding photographers attract clients whose style matches their own, in both personality of the couple and wedding day style.  Natalia & Todd are a perfect example of that.  Our early Sunday morning engagement shoot was not the ideal time for any of us (early! Sunday! hot & humid! early!) but they were so much fun to tag along after as we roamed the city, starting in their neighborhood of Lincoln Park, on the train to downtown, and roaming the streets around the Art Institute and State Street.  Somehow they managed to look fantastic the entire time, despite the early (!), the heat & humidity (!), and all that walking.  (Special props go to Natalia for rocking it all out in fabulous shoes. She’s assured me her wedding day shoes are no less fabulous. Can’t wait!)

Hey Todd, YOU GO BOY.

A more complete blog post of this stunning couple’s recent wedding to come in the next few days but here’s one to kick things off.
