A soft breeze, and plenty of sunshine: the kind of weather you dream of for an outdoor ceremony!

I’ve wanted to photograph Stephanie + Josh together since I met them at Michelle + Elliot’s wedding last year!

Garfield Park Conservatory is a special place for Michelle + Richard. In addition to it being Michelle’s favorite place on earth, GPC was also the place of many of their dates in the summers, many afternoon strolls in the winters, and where Richard finally asked Michelle to be his wife

Sarah and Nick have been together for years and have come across their fair share of obstacles, so it makes sense that all they really wanted for their wedding day was to celebrate the life they’ve built together with their loved ones surrounding them, and their dog, Gus.
