It’s hard to believe that almost a year has already passed since Kate and Alex tied the knot in a stunning celebration at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago. What an unforgettable day it was, filled with love, laughter, and moments the will be cherish forever!

Kate and Alex are truly a wonderful couple, and capturing their wedding day was an absolute joy. Every detail came together beautifully, thanks to the incredible team we had the pleasure of working with. Alison Ross Events orchestrated the day with her signature calm and grace, ensuring everything flowed perfectly. We always love working with Alison, her steady presence is a gift on such an important day!

The vibrant florals by Epic Events added a fresh, elegant touch to both the ceremony and reception, elevating the atmosphere and enhancing the beauty of every space. Speaking of beauty, Renee Feldman Weddings and Suzanna Avakian worked their magic with the hair and makeup, making Katie, her bridesmaids, and her mom look absolutely radiant. Katie wore the most gorgeous Vera Wang gown, and with the help of Tonya at The Wedding Dresser, she and Alex were always looking their best throughout the day.

The energy of the evening was electric, with Rendezvous Music keeping everyone on the dance floor all night – they are simply amazing!

Kate and Alex, we’re so grateful to have been a part of your wedding day. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness together! Here’s to many more years of joy, laughter, and beautiful memories!

On August 5th, a year ago, we had the honor of photographing Blair and Ryan's stunning ballroom wedding at The Ritz-Carlton in Chicago. The day was not only defined by the opulence of the venue but also by the evident love radiating from the couple. It was a day filled with joy, and happiness, and we were fortunate to capture every cherished moment. Blair and Ryan’s genuine love and warmth left a lasting impression on all who were present.

While the beautiful decor, designed by Yanni Design Studio, offered a stunning backdrop, Blair and Ryan truly stole the spotlight. Blair, wearing an exquisite Ines Di Santo gown, captivated everyone with her grace. Ryan, looking quite handsome in his tux, had a smile that never went away.

As they celebrate their first anniversary, let's toast to Blair and Ryan. May their love continue to flourish, and may they share many more joyful moments together. Here's to a future filled with happiness.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Great Events for introducing us to this wonderful family!

We were so fortunate to be part of a truly magical and memorable occasion: Margie and Jordy's beautiful ballroom wedding held at the renowned Four Seasons in the vibrant city of Chicago. It was a day marked not only by the grandeur of the venue but also by the sheer charm and love that radiated from the bride and groom. The entire day was a symphony of elegance, joy, and celebration, and we were privileged to capture every precious moment. The genuine kindness and heartfelt warmth Margie and Jordy exuded throughout their special day will not be forgotten by all those who had the privilege of being present.

Beyond the magnificent setting, it was the bride and groom who truly illuminated the day. Margie, in her exquisite Carolina Herrera gown, exuded elegance, capturing the hearts of all who attended their wedding. Jordy, impeccably dressed in a tux, wore a smile that radiated warmth on that crisp winter day.

Margie's parents, Barb and Steve, were especially happy as they witnessed their twin daughters get married just months apart. The love they have for their girls is incredibly special. If you desire to see Margie's twin sister, Carrie's wedding to Ben, we posted an album last September.

Let's raise a glass to Margie and Jordy. May their love keep growing, and may they continue to share joyful moments together. Here's to a lifetime of happiness together.

As their first anniversary approaches, let's raise a glass to Margie and Jordy. May their love keep growing, and may they continue to share joyful moments together. Here's to many more years of happiness.

We can not thank Alison Ross Events enough for sharing us with this wonderful family!

oxxo!

This extraordinary journey began 13 years ago when we had the privilege of capturing the magic of the Wulfsohn family for the first time, at their eldest daughter, Jillian's wedding. Little did we know that this would mark the beginning of an incredible chapter in our photography journey, as we went on to document the weddings of four out of their five children. Today, this family of seven has blossomed into a heartwarming family of 19, which includes the joyful presence of 8 adorable grandchildren.

What sets the Wulfsohn family apart is the strong connection they share and the deep love that binds them. It's not just the weddings we've been honored to photograph, but the ongoing conversations and correspondence with the matriarch of the family, Deb, that have truly left a lasting impression. Deb and her husband Steve have raised five remarkable children, each of them a testament to their dedication and love. The love that envelops this family is palpable, a testament to the incredible job that Deb and Steve have done in nurturing their children into extraordinary individuals. Our admiration for this family knows no bounds. It has been an incredible honor to witness and be a part of the Wulfsohn family's story over the years, and we look forward to many more chapters filled with love, laughter, and beautiful memories.

It's truly hard to believe that an entire year has passed since we photographed Ari and Josh's wedding at the Chicago Hilton, the very place where this wonderful journey initially commenced with Ari's sister, Jillian, and Brad's wedding. The love that Ari and Josh share mirrors the same deep, unconditional love that permeates every corner of this remarkable family. Their wedding, like all the others, was a celebration of love, laughter, and cherished moments.

Happy 1 year anniversary to Ari + Josh. We know their love story will continues to inspire those around them, reminding us all of the power of love, commitment, and the magic that happens when two beautiful souls come together in perfect harmony.

oxxo,

~ Dawn and Bob
