We love this family and have photographed all 3 of their kids weddings. What an honor! It's been a year today since Mallary and Zach (and Zoey) said "I do" and they have already added another daughter, Berkley, to their family!!!

Happy 1 year anniversary Mallary and Zach!!!

We wish you 100 more happy years ahead!

Bob and I couldn't be more honored to have photographed this beautiful wedding. You see when an event planner asks you to photograph their daughter's wedding and to us, that's big deal. We were so happy to be part of this magnificent day that took place at The Standard Club in Chicago.

From the outstanding decor that took our breath away by Tom Kehoe and his tribe at Kehoe Designs, to the entire team that brought this wedding to fruition, there wasn't any detailed missed. Nothing!

Thank you Randy and Susie for trusting us with Marlee and Mathew's wedding day... the wedding of the century! We hope that when you look through the photos it brings you back to the most amazing day ever!

Much love!

~ Dawn and Bob

When we photograph weddings, I always desire it to be published in print... because "Print Matters" in a world of digital media. I love seeing how excited our couples are to have their wedding featured. If it were up to me, everyone of our weddings would be featured! But it's not that easy.

We are over the moon that Erin and Jacob's wedding is featured in Brides of Austin. What a gorgeous magazine... and what an honor for our couple and the team that brought this wedding to fruition!

xoxo!

Katie and Dan's wedding day was a dream come true... I mean just look at their pup Dash, he couldn't be cuter and he agrees it was a perfect day!

Surrounded by loved ones, Katie and Dan exchanged vows at the stunning St. Anne Catholic Community, sealing their love with a sweet kiss and marking the start of their journey together.

At Barrington Hills Country Club, the celebration continued in style. Guests were treated to an evening filled with elegance and laughter, as the newlyweds danced the night away amidst twinkling lights and romantic décor.

As they bid farewell to their guests, Katie and Dan were filled with gratitude for the love and support that surrounded them. Their wedding day was just the beginning of a beautiful love story, destined for many more magical moments ahead.

XOXO!

Melissa and David's July wedding at The Standard Club in Chicago was a breathtaking celebration of love and unity. The venue's high ceilings and wood floors provided a stunning backdrop for their special day, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance.

But what truly made the day unforgettable was the warmth and love shared by both families. Melissa's family welcomed David with open arms, while David's family embraced Melissa as one of their own. Together, they created an atmosphere of love and support that surrounded them as they exchanged vows and embarked on their journey together.

The reception was a joyous affair, filled with laughter, dancing, and delicious cuisine. As the night drew to a close, Melissa and David stole a moment alone to reflect on the beauty of their love and the memories they had created together. You can see that in the last couple of photos!

Melissa and David's wedding beautifully demonstrated how love can bring hearts together, marking the start of a new journey embraced by cherished loved ones. With hands intertwined, they embarked on their future, filled with confidence that their bond would only grow stronger with each day that unfolded. And we wish them a lifetime of happiness together!

XOXO,

~ Dawn and Bob
