Natalie & Dave-A Classic Chicago Wedding, Pt.1 [Portland Wedding Photographer]

Let me start by saying Happy New Year! We took a little time off from blogging for the holidays but now we’re back and determined to post all the gorgeous weddings we photographed in 2009. We want to thank our friends, family & wedding couples for making 2009 a bang-up year! We feel so blessed because we have had so much success this past year. We are humbled each and every time a new couple asked us to photograph their wedding. We love what we do and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for us in 2010.
Back to the beautiful wedding here. Natalie & David are awesome people who are so in love.  It was an absolute pleasure to photograph their classic Chicago wedding in September. Natalie started her day off at the River North Westin getting ready with her family and bridesmaids.  Josh had to luck to photograph these lovely ladies while I joined Dave and his groomsmen and parents at their Wrigleyville condo.  Here are some of the early prep shots before we headed to St. Alphonsus Catholic Church for their ceremony and the Maggiano’s on Grand & Clark for their reception.

Enjoy!

Whats the saying again? “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Silver Sixpense in Her Shoe.” Natalie had it all!

Natalie surprised Dave with a sweet Tissot watch with a custom engraving for a wedding gift. Dave was so proud of it he showed it off to all his groomsmen.
