Haley + Vince || Garfield Park Conservatory Chicago, IL Engagement Session

Vince and I were both engineering students working at an orthopedic company as co-ops. We actually met at a bar and did karaoke with each other the first night we met.... at a biker bar... (We like to leave that part out if we're talking to our grandparents! HAHA!) After that night we remained friends for about 6 months or so, and started dating during our next co-op rotation (and the rest is history)! - Haley

I love that story so much! Haley and Vince are such a sweet and genuine couple. It was such a joy capturing this season of life for them, and I could not be more excited to capture their boho inspired wedding next June - I am sure it'll be a good one!

Laura + Chad || Chicago, IL Wedding at Garfield Park Conservatory & Trigger

Laura and Chad grew up in the same neighborhood. When they were 15 years old they met each other in a park... they were interested in each other for many years but waited to start dating until the timing was just right. Fast forward to present day and these two have been married for exactly one month!

From their gorgeous details to their love rainbow ice cream cones, this wedding day was truly unique. Their first look at Garfield Park Conservatory was so sweet to witness. The Big Star taco bar at Trigger Chicago was certainly a hit. And, even though their sweet pup could not come to their actual wedding, they found fun and unique ways to incorporate his presence throughout the reception (you'll see what I mean). 

This intimate affair is one I will surely not forget.

Boho Chic Wedding Inspiration || Chicago, IL Wedding Photographer

This styled shoot at Garfield Park Conservatory was a dream to capture. 

THAT dress - enough said. The groom looked handsome from head to toe. The florals got me daydreaming about Spring. Anyone with a flower crown has got me swooning. Handmade wedding bands uniquely designed. Macrame designs throughout to add a touch of boho flare. Watercolor paper goods that are simply gorgeous. So much more boho-chic details here. Be sure to check out the crazy talented vendors listed below!

Oh AND - the video is a must see! Enjoy :)
