I shot this wedding just this past Saturday in the Chicagoland area, and started out her parents house. Even though it was freezing outside-there was lots of love & warmth in the house.

The ceremony was at St Paul of the Cross in Park Ridge. The church is one of those huge impressive Catholic Churches with lovely stained glass. Natalie & Bill were just so excited to be married that you couldn’t help but smile throughout the ceremony and be so happy for them.

The guys were troopers and braved the very, very cold temps for some photos outside the church. We literally took about 6-8 minutes to do their photos and then headed back to the warm church to thaw out. The photo of Bill was taken during this short session.

See the photo of them outside during the confetti toss-it was 13 degrees outside. And then look for several of the bridesmaids-none of them had on coats yet. They must be true friends. I was bundled up in winter coat and had gloves on and I was frozen afterwards. They did run to the limo shortly after this photo was taken.

The reception was held at Biagios a few miles away in Chicago. The lobby of the place is fabulous and has these cool funky couchs. From what I could see-everyone had a blast at the reception. It was like a 200+ family reunion.

We wish them all the best!
