Evan + Grace’s Chicago wedding was so fun and unique!  Just like the two of them!  Evan is a rad photographer and Grace is a former roller derby girl!  Grace and I were friends in College when we worked on the newspaper together for years.  I was stoked when she thought of me for her wedding!  I flew out to Chicago for their Cinco de Mayo wedding with the threat of rainstorms all weekend.  The weather-people were not incorrect!  A few rain dances later and we luckily had gorgeous overcast weather their entire wedding day!

Their first look was so expressive, I couldn’t narrow down which images to include!  They were the first bride & groom I’ve ever heard of that wanted their photos on The “El” and on the lawn of an awesome birdhouse house!  They were totally up for anything and I love that.  Another first:  The Jurassic Park theme song for the father/daughter dance.  Rad rad rad.  Enjoy the image overload!
