Real Wedding - Chicago, IL

I am so happy to bring you this beautiful Chicago wedding from one of my newest sponsors (and new favorite photographer), Kevin Weinstein. Kevin brings a really fresh and unique perspective to all his photos, and he is one of those rare artists who can capture images that make you feel like you're right there in the picture. I love it when a picture evokes emotion and there are several sequences in this wedding that I just adore - my favorite certainly being the cake cutting! And of course I have to mention the amazing Chicago shots, truly so lovely.

Laura & Vincent hosted a small affair for family and close friends, with a focus on celebrating and spending time with the ones they love. There was no sit down dinner, no dancing, just drinks, hors d'oeuvres and revelry. I know a lot of you wonder whether you can have a successful reception without dancing, and I think this wedding is the answer! A big thank you to Kevin Weinstein for being a part of the blog and for these beautiful images.
