Paige + Kyle | JW Marriott Hotel wedding | Chicago
In early July, I spent a day driving to and from Chicago with my good friend Rebekah Albaugh, working as her second photographer for the day. It was a gorgeous wedding and beautiful day, with nearly perfect weather for a mid-summer event. I started out with the Kyle and the guys in the groom's suite at the JW Marriott hotel. I knew immediately that I was in good company as the guys were watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," one of my husband's & my favorite TV shows. I also heard a few quotes from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" tossed around throughout the day -- hilarious! We met up with Rebekah in the lobby to get ready for the First Look with Paige + KYle, followed by wedding party portraits down the block at the Chicago Board of Trade. We then took a trolley around the city to a park near Lake Michigan, and by the Chicago River near the Wrigley Building and Trump Tower. We found some truly beautiful pockets of light and Paige + Kyle looked stunning! Following the ceremony at St. Chyrsostom's Episcopal Church, we headed back to the Marriott for the reception, which was beautifully decorated in black, white and gold. Big thanks to Misse from Honey Bee Weddings for her great work with the timeline and making sure we were where we needed to be!(Photographed for Rebekah Albaugh)
