Congratulations LeaAnne & Raj! Happy one month (and a few days!). Much love, my friends!

LeaAnne & Raj - Hindu Wedding Ceremony at The Ritz Carlton - Grand Cayman

This wedding was so big and beautiful that I need to turn this into two blog post sneak peeks! My dear friends LeaAnne & Raj made their love official in Grand Cayman on the gorgeous beach at the Ritz Carlton. They're so in love they had TWO wedding ceremonies in one day! I joke, but they really did have two ceremonies. A Hindu ceremony, and a Christian ceremony, to bring both of their families and traditions together. 

Here's a peek into the beginning of the day, the first wedding, the Hindu ceremony. It was incredibly colorful and SO beautiful. Raj rode in on a horse - some of my favorite photos! The way he hugs his mom when she first sees him, also one of my favorites! So many portions in the ceremony were beautiful, sweet and sometimes goofy. 

Since their wedding was so chock-full of photos, I had to break this down by ceremony or this blog might explode with too many beautiful photos. Keep your eyes peeled for the Christian ceremony portion, coming in the next day or so. Much love, my friends!

Emma & Tito - Couple's Session in Chicago

Emma & Tito are officially already married but they're having a celebration next January in the Caribbean and I can't wait to be there to photograph it. This session is from their "engagement session." All of my wedding packages come with an engagement session so that I can get to know my couples better before their big day and so they can see how I work. They get pretty pictures, I get to play. It's a win-win for everyone! 

Once again, someone was looking out for me and the weather was in my favor. It looked like rain most of the day until I headed their way! We started at their home where the golden hour light was just beginning. We then headed to Belmont Harbor to get some portraits at Lake Michigan with that gorgeous Chicago skyline at dusk. It had also rained a lot prior to this day so I got to play with reflections and puddles on the way to the lake! Check 'em out below.
