Here’s to our last wedding of 2009! Congratulations to Leslie & Brad! First of all, we’d like to say thank you to Melissa & Clark for referring Leslie & Brad :) We love referrals because awesome couples refer awesome friend-couples, resulting in an awesome wedding! And it definitely was… A special thanks to Marcia and her team of An Urban Affair for coordinating their wedding. It truly made our jobs a lot easier!
Leslie & Brad got ready at the Blackstone Hotel where their reception was held.
I just love how the light fell on her dress… I don’t always get such strong light coming in through the window and I had to take advantage :)

Handsome Groom!
I’m blogging on the above and below image… I couldn’t decide which one I liked better…
Sometimes when you’re shooting, all you have to do is look at the bigger picture and it really makes a huge difference in composition… :)
If you’re having a late fall/winter wedding, this is a really good option to think about because of the light… The sun sets as early as 4:15pm in the early winter in Chicago.

It was just a ‘quick’ shot anyway… and very well worth it! Thank you, bridal party, you guys rocked it out for Leslie & Brad! :)
