Brian and Charleen’s wedding was a first Chicago wedding for me.  Being originally from Colorado and now living here in Madison, WI for the past 3 1/2 years I was excited to finally get to shoot in Chicago, and (might I add) not at the typical Chicago spots.  I met Brian and Charleen for the first time on their wedding day and I was not disappointed in the least.  I enjoyed seeing all the final details come together (I had gotten little glimpses here and there of what Charleen had been envisioning and working on).  Her and her family really put in some hours to make the day beautiful and personal.  I was amazed to find out that the brides mother personally made 200 dog candle favors by herself! The highlight of the evening was getting to hear the song Charleen and her father, Dennis, sang together (composed by Charleen) and the song Charleen sang to Brian.  So good.

 

By the way…  Charleen is an amazing singer.  Go check out her fan page on Facebook and “like” her!  Check out this recent you tube video of her:

 

Brian and Charleen, blogging your wedding day takes me back to what a beautiful and joy filled day you and your family created. The way the two of you look at one another is really endearing.  I am thankful to have been able to capture your special day in images.  Best wishes to both of you.
