I love winter weddings!!! Sarah and Marcus wed at the Lincoln Park Conservatory in front of their closest friends and family. It was the perfect setting for a wedding around the holidays as it was already decked out in red and green!

I met them at their hotel for getting ready and first look before we headed to Lincoln Park for some outdoor photos. I was secretly hoping for some snow (not a blizzard, just enough to coat the ground) and we got some! It was very cold, but they toughed it out and snuggled up close for some photos at the Nature Boardwalk before heading to the Conservatory for the ceremony.

I always love when our couples incorporate unique things into their ceremonies. In this case Sarah and Marcus wrote each other letters and sealed them up with a bottle of Captain Morgan to be opened and celebrated on an anniversary! Cheers!

Here are some of my favorite images of the day! Congrats to Sarah and Marcus!
