Sara + Pat’s Lovely Wedding : Chicago Wedding Photographer
- Posted on:
- 01 June 2009
Sara and Pat were married about two weeks ago in the Chicago suburbs. They were referred to me by the wonderful Adam and Emily, who had a wonderful celebration at A New Leaf and were one of my favourite and sweetest couples from 2008 (Part I, Part II). I thought that any friend of theirs would be enjoyable to shoot, and I was so happy to be right on the money with the assessment.
I really love shooting the big, “fabulous” city weddings that we are so fortunate to get here in Chicago, but I also love to have my calendar filled with a few intimate, relaxed, and down-to-earth weddings, which was exactly what Pat and Sara’s was. These are the sort of weddings that are honestly the most humbling for me to be a part of—they help to remind me why I love what I do, and what a gift it is to be included in such intimate celebrations. Pat and Sara were so calm and laid-back the entire day, and it really was a relaxed celebration of their relationship, friends and family.
Sara’s lovely dress was by the always fabulous Dame Couture, who also made my favourite dress of last year, that of the lovely Sam. Sara’s was based on the design of her grandmother’s wedding dress, and it was lovely.
One of my favourites of the year thus far.
We jumped outside quickly for a few photos at sunset.
The DJ and I had a bet on whether the crowd would dance. I won. :)

You are, and always have been, a master of shoe shots. I also really like the one with the flare between the bride’s fingers!
oh, the dress is so fine—love the skirt shot!
