Meet Martha and John! They married on a gorgeous September day. I hesitate to call if fall since the heat index was near 90 still, which is abnormal for Chicago in mid September.

We started the day out with a first look at their hotel before hitting LaSalle Bridge and Olive Park for photos with just the two of them. From there we headed to the Lily Pool for their ceremony. They were joined by a few family members to witness their I do’s which were lovely and heartfelt. Some of my favorite photos of the year were at the very end of our session when the sun was peaking perfectly through the back tree line.

Congratulations to the newlyweds and thank you for toughing out the weird September heat wave! Here are some of my favorites!
