Kristin + Chris :: Morton Arboretum Wedding
- Posted on:
- 17 August 2010
Kristin and Chris are a sweet couple who met in college at U of I, now live downstate, and came back to Kristin’s hometown area for a beautiful, intimate wedding at Morton Arboretum. This is a venue I shot at several times last year and still love to shoot at, if only because it allows for outdoor ceremonies! It is so extremely rare in Chicago to be able to married outside, that I feel like I hit the photography jackpot anytime I am able to shoot one. We were blessed with stunning weather on their wedding day, and as the sun set behind their large ceremony tree, the colours and light just became resplendent. Kristin and Chris also decided to do “private vows,” as a part of their first look. I had never heard of or seen a couple do this before, and I thought it was the perfect touch. I love personal vows during the ceremony but understand several reasons why a couple might opt for traditional vows; Kristin and Chris still wrote out their private l vows and just shared them privately with each other when they first saw each other. It was a touching, personal and emotional moment that really added some extra depth, meaning and almost “sacredness” to the first time they saw each other.

Rebecca + Brad :: Morton Arboretum Wedding
- Posted on:
- 23 September 2009
Becca and Brad were my last of three wedding weekends in a row at the lovely Morton Arborteum. I was surprised by how different the events at Morton felt for each couple—a really relaxed outdoor ceremony and fun reception for Jill + Mike, a beautiful chic and preppy vibe for Meg + Mat and a reception that was punctuated by both touching moments and an absolute party for Becca and Brad. Becca and Brad both have lovely families and friends, and the day was filled with such a sense of excitement and joy, despite the day starting off with a dress malfunction involving salad dressing. Add in an incredibly fun birdseed sendoff and a jam-packed dance floor, and you get a wedding that was a pleasure to shoot.
