Trisha & Sam- wedding at the Fairmont Hotel, DC

Trisha and Sam had a fun and photogenic wedding at the Fairmont Hotel.  As the dress hung in the backlight of a window, the pink petticoat glowed through.  Springtime blossoms of the same color were blooming in the courtyard and also repeated in the cake's decor.  The attending family and friends did readings at the ceremony and heartwarming toasts at the reception.  After dinner, the revelry on the dance floor went on late into the evening.

venue & cake: Fairmont Hotel

Chicago Illuminated

"Windy City" engagement session

I recently took my first trip to Chicago to meet up with engaged couple Lindsay Ann and Jake.  They welcomed me and offered some good places to create photos. 
The wind was biting cold that day but they kept each other warm with hugs and laughter.  When the  winds whipped up too ferociously, we decided to take the shoot to their place.  When Theresa and I  return to Chicago for the wedding,  it will be summertime and the City will be ours.
