spring wedding at fairlie in chicago

A perfectly lush spring day for two sweet humans 

Natalia and Sam are one of the couples I have worked with the longest prior to their big day, and honestly, I couldn't be happier! We shot their engagement photos in 2022, and their wedding in the spring of 2024 was WORTH. THE. WAIT. 

Lush florals, prioritizing time with their loved ones, and embracing the first waves of warmth of Chicago spring was the summary of Natalia and Sam's perfect wedding day. The memories I take from their day are watching Sam turn into a real-life heart eye emoji when he saw Natalia for the first time, seeing all of Natalia's friends hype her up at every opportunity, and seeing these two look at each other full of excitment for the rest of their lives together. Their ceremony, held at the Madonna Bella Strada on Loyola Chicago's campus (where they met!!!) was heartfelt, and traditional. Reception followed at Fairlie, and you'll just have to gush over the photos yourself because no words can do it justice.
