It appears as though Brittany our bride and her girls had a wedding movie marathon the night before her wedding to Shaun in Chicago. I found this evidence upon arriving at her Getting Ready session in Schererville, Indiana.

I spent most of the morning taking candids of the girls getting their hair and make up done. Just before the limo was to wisk us off to Grant Park for the ceremony, I photographed Brittany looking beautiful by the light of the hotel window in her wedding dress.

The ride to chicago was a fun one with me taking shots the entire way...

The girls were either very relaxed or just bracing themselves for sudden stops in Chicago traffic....

Soon we arrived at Grant Park and it was time for the bride to enter with her Father. With cars weaving their way down Lake Shore Drive in the background, Brittany and her Dad made their way through the tent to the other side where Shaun awaited.

The bright Autumn sun shone down upon the bride and groom as they exchanged rings...

The first kiss was a joyous one with the newlyweds becoming one with friends and family looking on.

Pure happiness as Shaun give his bride a lift as she laughs - a great moment!!

We immediately started family photos at the ceremony site in Grant Park and eventually made our way through Millennium Park for some couple's shots...

Having the Chicago skyline as a backdrop was a goal of the couple as they planned their windy city wedding.

The wedding party eventually ended up back in Indiana for the reception at Villa Cesare.

These set of images are merely a sneak peek with many more to come from our whirlwind trip around the city of Chicago. Subscribe here to the Journal or the Facebook Page to get an update when all of Brittany and Shaun's images are available for viewing.
