One of the things many people may not realize about our work is that while Bob and our team are photographing a wedding day, I experience the entire celebration later through the images as I edit them and prepare them to share with our couples and the world.
When I began working on Alyssa and Jason’s wedding photographs from their beautiful November celebration at the Fairmont Chicago, I immediately knew it was a special day. The joy, the incredible energy in the room, and the love surrounding them came through in every photograph Bob captured. Even though I wasn’t there in person, editing the images allows me to experience the wedding in a very real way. What made this wedding especially meaningful for us was our connection with Jason’s family. Back in 2018, Bob photographed Jason’s sister’s, Julie's wedding, so being invited back to document another wedding for their family meant a great deal to us both. When families trust us again to capture another milestone in their lives, it’s something we never take for granted. As I pour through the images, I recognized so many familiar faces from previous weddings. Some were couples whose weddings we photographed years ago. Others were guests who had been part of celebrations we documented in the past. Every once in a while I would pause while editing and smile as I recognized someone. It’s moments like that that remind us how connected the Chicago wedding community truly is. The Fairmont Chicago provided the perfect setting for Alyssa and Jason’s celebration. The ballroom looked absolutely beautiful, and the atmosphere of the evening came through in every photo. From the quiet anticipation as Alyssa prepared for the ceremony to the excitement once the dance floor filled with family and friends, Bob captured the story of the day exactly as it unfolded. The laughter, the emotional hugs, the joyful celebrations, and all the little moments in between that make a wedding day unforgettable. While Bob is there capturing the moments as they happen, I get the privilege of reliving the entire day while editing the photographs. It’s during that process that I see the details, the expressions, the quiet glances between family members, and the joyful celebrations that might otherwise pass in an instant. Alyssa and Jason’s wedding was filled with so many of those moments. And seeing familiar faces from weddings we photographed years ago reminded me once again how blessed we are to do what we love for a living. Congratulations, Alyssa and Jason. Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a beautiful celebration!
