Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Here is the continuation from my last blog! Elizabeth and Crisanto were married last Saturday on their rooftop over looking the city of Chicago. Oh and did I mention the wedding was a complete surprise? Only a small handful of people knew the plan. I was in on it as well. Elizabeth (I know her as Beth) was my good friend and sorority sister in college.
She met Crisanto (Cris) while on vacation in Acapulco last year and they fell in love. She made 10 trips back there over the year which just rooted their devotion to each other. Cris went through the legal parameters to come to the US and marry Beth.
They invited 60 of their closest friends and family to their condo for an “engagement party”. I’ll finish the story below with the photos!

First kiss!
These were the best cupcakes I have ever had!
This cracks me up. 🙂
Mini Corona’s for the toast. Cris hand tied each one – what a guy!

It was such an awesome experience, even in the rain! Seeing everyones reaction’s was so great! And I had fun catching up with some college buddies I hadn’t seen in a long time. Can’t wait for my trip back to Chicago with Tim in 3 weeks!
I love the one with everyone on the rooftop!!! And those cupcakes just look delicious!!!
