Addie and Johnathan had a picture perfect wedding! They carried the vintage theme of their reception site, Salvage One, throughout their entire day. They also allotted 4-5 hours of photo time of just the two of them around town. We ended up with some amazing images that I can't wait to share with everyone.
Addie's dress was hanging in the window when I arrived. It was beautiful. |
| Her perfect lashes by one of my best friends on the planet, Nika Vaughan. |
| I almost fainted when she popped out. That is some scary stuff. Seriously. |
| A shot of Johnathan getting ready. |
| Johnathan with his brother and father. |
| Addie's mother helps her in her wedding dress. |
| This pretty much sums up the getting ready process on a wedding day. |
| We jumped in the limo and headed to the ceremony at Old St. Pat's. |
| Addie and her mother were all smiles. They must have known that the rain was going to stop right after her ceremony! |
| Her father gets ready to walk her down the aisle. |
| Old St. Pat's has to be one of the prettiest and historic Catholic churches downtown. |
| Yes, this was seriously their transportation. I was dying. We headed around the city with one of their good friends who owned this vintage pink Buick. |
| Johnathan is also a photographer. He brought his camera along for the ride. |
| Loved this compass in the car... |
| Their friend was ready to take us to our first stop. |
| We stopped off at LaSalle street where the rain picked up for a second. We still put that pink and white umbrella to good use. |
| A stranger held an umbrella over Addie while Johnathan got their umbrella under control. |
| Our second stop on a long trip around town! |
| I found this robin's egg while we were walking around. It looks so sad. |
| They were having so much fun all day! |
| Johnathan did a little bridal session of his own! |
| We wrapped up our shooting in Lincoln Park and headed to Montrose harbor. |
| Their friend had to get a shot with his amazing car. |
| I guess the timing was bad. Oops. |
| You knew I would post this. |
| We headed to Uptown and found this magical fence. Are you kidding me?!? |
| They did a quick dance in the alley. |
| I am thinking that everyone should go to Uptown on their wedding day. People were all over the streets checking out the wedding parade! |
| The historic Green Mill jazz club. This is also the location where I met one of my childhood idols, Mr. Keanu Reeves. That's right. I said it. |
| I love when something unexpected and unplanned happens. This little boy on the bus was so excited when he saw us shooting near the bus. He was laughing and giving us a "thumbs up". It was so cute! |
| We left Uptown and drove over to the deliciousness that is Hot Doug's. |
| These people were not even playing around. The sad bride and groom posed at the end of the line. |
| We snuck inside for a few photos but forget about ordering. I think these people would have punched us! =) |
| With no luck atHot Doug's, we headed to Wicker Park and sat down for some awesome food at Big Star. Go there! So good. |
| With time to spare, we ended up at their condo in Bucktown. Addie even had time for a robe and some coffee! |
| We should have brought him back some food. He was so hungry he was eating the blinds. |
| This was me being stupid, of course. I made up my own detail from their wedding. It is actually a photo from one of their vinyl album covers. I need to recreate this pose for an actual wedding. Badly. |
| I took a quick ring shot while we were hanging out at their place. |
| We tried to call a cab to take us to their reception at Salvage One. The cab didn't show up so Addie had to hail one on her own! |
| I love this shot of her heading upstairs to check out the reception room. |
| The guests start to arrive. |
| Another cake shot that I love. |
| I kind of love this. This was on a bag that Johnathan brought with his to the reception. |
| A speech by Addie's father. |
| One of their guests wrapped their wedding day present with this paper. I had to post it. Love it! |
| Thanks for an amazing trek around the city and the great night that followed. Have a blast together! |
