Every single photo just radiated with their fun personalities – it was so difficult to pick our favorites! We are seriously so lucky to have the opportunity to shoot such cool couples. It was seriously awesome!! Ed had so much fun capturing Melodie and Eric as they explored Chicago, and even had fun running from security guards at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. This quirky Chicago wedding included a romantic ceremony next to Lake Michigan, running to catch the CTA, flying bouquets, and getting kicked out of Whole Foods.
