Meet Aydelis and Edgar! They came up from Georgia to get married on a beautiful fall day in Chicago (although it felt more like summer!).

I met them at their hotel where Kate was finishing up hair and makeup and Aydelis was getting some help from her sister and mom with her dress. They decided to do first look at a small park nearby their hotel before we headed out into the city. I’m always happy when my couples book me for a little longer so we can take some time to explore and hit a few favorite locations. We made stops at LaSalle Bridge and the Chicago Theater before heading out to Olive Park for their ceremony with a few guests.

It’s not secret that Olive Park is on of my favorites for ceremonies. I love the backdrop and on a warm day it doesn’t get better than having the breeze off the lake! They said their I do’s, exchanged rings and it was off to celebrate with everyone!

Congratulations to the newlyweds! Here are some of my favorites!
