So this is a wedding I'd been looking forward to all year! Lindsay contacted me as soon as she got engaged so I could shoot her wedding in Chicago. She'd been in a wedding I'd shot the year before and knew I was the one she wanted... even if it meant having me come as a Destination Wedding. I attended their rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and was pleased to have the extra time to figure out how to light the beautiful, extremely hot and ridiculously dark Holy Family Parish church in Chicago. It absolutely poured all night, so none of us slept much during the night with thunderstorms galore and much of Chicago was closed since all their tunnels closed due to flooding! With stormy clouds all morning long, I was a little worried about all the plans for photos Lindsay had, but by the time she was ready to rock and roll, the clouds disappeared and we got to go out on their hotel's patio for some awesome skyline photos with the set from Transformers 3 down below (in case you were looking and wondered why Chicago was looking so torn up!). We then headed for the real ceremony, happy to get out of the 98 degree weather and headed right next door to St. Ignatius for the wedding reception. Mike and many of the groomsmen had gone to school there, so there was an added element of nostalgia to the day. Love this couple, love their silly dog, love the wedding party and was so happy to see Liz & Travis again!
