A Proposal featured on The Bride's Cafe

Just last week we posted Matt + Sarah's proposal on our blog.  Janie, from the fabulous blog the Bride's Cafe, emailed right away and asked if she could feature them on her blog. We of course said yes, and you can see their feature on the Bride's Cafe today!  Matt shared his story, and there are more images in this feature than our blog post, so be sure to check it out.  I just love hearing Matt's story, and it's not usual you get to hear the groom's side of things on a wedding blog.

Thank you Janie, and thank you Matt and Sarah for sharing your story!

Camille + Wilson | Slideshow | Engagement in Rome

You might remember hearing about Dave's whirlwind trip to Rome back in November.  We don't typically do engagement session sideshows, but Camille and Wilson's engagement session in Rome, Italy was so unique that we just couldn't resist sharing a few more images with you! 

The Proposal - Matt + Sarah

We love it when when people contact us to photograph what is probably one of the happiest, most emotional events in life - a proposal.  We know Matt from the Ivy Room (one of the most beautiful venues in Chicago!).  We have worked with Matt and Donna, the fabulous team that runs the Ivy Room, on many occasions.  We were very excited when he called us to ask if we would photograph his proposal.  He picked a day; we did some location scouting, and after some discussion, the new bridge that connects Millenium Park to the Modern Wing was the set location.

There are of course some logistical problems to be solved with any location, and the one problem at this location were the people who would inevitably be walking on the bridge.  After some thought, we asked Donna to stand at the bottom of the bridge and keep people from walking up while Matt proposed.  All the planning paid off, and it worked out perfectly!

Here are a few of our favorites from this proposal.

 

Mike + Ashlee | Wedding | The Elysian | Chicago

Venue: The Elysian
Planning: Paulette Wolf Events and Entertainment
Floral and Decor Design: Heffernan Morgan
Gowns: Vera Wang and Belle Vie Bridal Couture
Music: DJ Andre

Mike and Ashlee had a romantic holiday wedding at the Elysian. They were the very lucky winners of the Paulette Wolf Dream Team give away.  Ashlee and Mike had met with us long before winning, and although a different photographer was included in the give away, they wanted us to document their wedding.  We were honored to work with them, and excited to shoot a wedding at the just opened Elysian Hotel - billed as one of the premier luxury hotels in the country. Everything was perfect from the beautiful setting that the Elysian provided, the delicious food, the absolutely creative decor and room design by Heffernan Morgan, the excellent planning by Erin of Paulette Wolfe, and especially the dance music by DJ Andre. It was a great way to start the 2010 wedding season!!

Here are a few of our favorites from the evening.
