Jennifer and Nathan were married at the spectacular St. Josaphat Roman Catholic Church in Chicago. This Fall wedding had it all - beautiful colors of Autumn, great architecture in the church and all around Chicago, celebrity sightings, and fun, fun fun...
The day started in Northwest Indiana with preparations for the trip to the windy city. We photographed the details and then it was time to hit the highway. Nathan had a gift ready for Jennifer to open before she left as friends and family looked on.

St. Josaphat Roman Catholic Church was built in 1902 in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. I definitely wanted to show off the architecture of the storied church during photographs of the bride and groom as well as during the ceremony itself.

There was plenty of emotion during the ceremony from Jennifer's happy tears to Nathan's exhilarating fist pump during the first kiss.

After family photos inside the church, we trekked around Chicago to Lincoln Park Zoo area as well as Adler Planeterium for wedding party photos. My goal was to showcase the bride and groom of course, but to also show off the wonderful Fall color as well as the city itself.

Jennifer and Nathan were great when I requested that they do crazy things such as climb up a stone wall so I can shoot the incredible sky, get a Chicago building AND some fall color into one shot!!

We took a PARTY bus back to Indiana for the reception at Cloister In The Woods. The room was decked out for Fall with an orange and amber hue as fun times ensued with hilarious toasts and a full dance floor.
