Brittany and Shaun had a wonderful wedding ceremony surrounded by friends and family at the Cancer survivors Garden inside of Grant Park in Chicago.  It was a VERY sunny day that took the Fall chill out of the October air.  I will detail our entire day in chicago in subsequent posts, but today we will concentrate on the ceremony in a serene are of the city with the skyscrapers hovering over.  Click on the image above for a Windy City style collage of their wedding day.

I rode along with the girls in the limousine so I could catch the arrival of the bride and her entourage...

It was a bit of a walk to get to the Cancer Survivors Garden within Grant Park where the outdoor ceremony would be held.  My assistant and I are excellent at walking in reverse, so we were able to capture the long entrance into the park.  :)

You can see the cars traveling on Lake Shore Drive along with the museum campuses in the background as the bride enters with her father for a walk down the aisle as Shaun eagerly awaits....

It was a beautiful scene as Brittany and Shaun did a traditional pouring of sand with the Chicago skyscapers towering over them...

As they awaited to be pronounced man and wife, the happy couple exchanged rings as captured here in this close up photo...

The parents of the bride held hands tightly as their daughter became Mrs. Shaun Moran.

With the sun beating down upon them, friends and family looking on, Brittany and Shaun became man and wife in this quiet garden nestled within the Windy City.....

One of my favorite ceremony photos is this one of Brittany jumping for joy with a little help from her new husband just after being married...

The guests were armed with bubbles as the couple kissed during the recessional...

We immediately began taking family formals at the ceremony site in Grant Park.  We would soon be off via bus to tour the city and take many more shots with the bride and groom and the wedding party...

After family was photographed, I quickly took the couple off to a wooded area for this sun drenched kissing shot...
