Scott & Kate | Chicago Wedding

Posted in Destination Weddings, Weddings Tags: , , , , ,

Ok bloggies, it’s time to finally meet Scott and Kate! For their wedding, I got to travel up to the windy city, Chicago…my favorite big city! Their ceremony was at Fourth Presbyterian Church on Michigan Ave. and their reception was at the The Drake…an amazing hotel also on Michigan Ave. I was lucky enough on this one to not only have my assistant extraordinaire, Patty with me, but also my friend and fellow photographer, Jim Meyer of Meyer Photography! It’s always such a blast to work with other photographers! And since I’m a photographer and not a writer, let’s get on with it…here are some of my faves!
