Backyard Chicago Ceremony | Destination Wedding Photographer

During my usual summer getaway to Chicago, I had the privilege to photograph this gorgeous and colorful backyard Chicago ceremony for Lauren and Kendon! This day was one for the books and everything they could have hoped for.

We met up at the Garfield Park Conservatory for couple portraits - one of my old favorite spots back when I lived in Chicago. Then we headed to the couple's house where they had their ceremony in the backyard. Their vows were sweet and weird, just like the couple themselves. I'm particularly obsessed with the floral arrangements on their arch!

Afterward we had the reception at the Carleton in Oak Park, where one of Kendon's bands played, and he eventually joined in on the trumpet. Their backyard Chicago ceremony was unlike any other I’ve shot and felt so lucky to have met the two of them. It was a super fun night!
