Meredith and Tim’s Elysian Hotel Wedding!

May 18th, 2012

Meredith and Tim hail from NYC and decided to celebrate their wedding in Chicago where both have close family and friends. We started the day at the elegant Elysian Hotel, on Halloween Eve, and had beautiful Fall weather as we traveled in the city for our couple pics. After a quick first meeting at the Elysian, Meredith and Tim wanted to capture the vibrant Fall colors so our first stop was the Art Institute Gardens and surrounding area. Tim is an architect and he wanted to showcase Chicago’s modern buildings and bridges in the couple pics so the LaSalle street bridge area was a must! The ceremony was a quick 20 minutes led by Tim’s best friend, and then the evening festivities started with The Don Cagen Orchestra leading the way. Thanks so much to Meredith and Tim for such a classy and fun-filled Halloween weekend, and much thanks to Kelly Shaw for her wonderful images!

Wednesday Inspiration-Cotton Candy Pink

May 16th, 2012

Pink…it’s so very feminine  and fluffy. It’s been a very pink Spring season and I can only guess that the Summer season will be full of some more pastels. Every so often pink makes a comeback, and this year is the bling, glamour year for pink. It seems that the color is everywhere in fashion, events, decor and art, and still going strong. I am hoping this year brings some pink weddings for me to photograph and carry on the girly tradition!

Trend Watch-Tea Length Wedding Dresses

May 15th, 2012

This week’s trending starts a day late due to server issues, but at least we are up and running once again! I have been pinning many different dress ideas from the recent fashion designers 2012-2013 collections, and have been nothing but intrigued and impressed by all the different offerings. What I have noticed is super cute, fashionable and short length wedding dresses for any style and season. For this year, some of my client’s are buying an inexpensive short dress for the reception and others’ are opting for a casual, tea length dress for an afternoon or casual garden wedding. I love all the modern offerings designers are creating for the bride who wants something beautiful and unique. Please click on Source under each image for more information.
