I first met with Tracy and Zach at the end of fall for their Chicago engagement session. We explored the loop, near the river and then a little of Millennium Park for some fabulous engagement portraits. It was great getting to know them better and I love that they did a session in a time of year that would be very different from their wedding day, which would be a summer wedding.
Tracy and Zach had a beautiful outdoor rustic farm wedding at Emerson Creek Pottery Barn and Tea Room on a beautiful July afternoon. We had a lot of time to do pictures before the wedding after Tracy and Zach did a first look, allowing the couple to have a lot of time to spend during cocktail hour enjoying the company of family and friends and celebrating in this wonderful day. The flowers were some of the most beautiful flowers I have seen this season, I hope to work with Dahlia Blooms again soon!! I just love Emerson Creek and this was the first time I had worked there where the couple were getting married in the barn. It was so charming. Chicago Mobile Dj’s and the staff of Emerson and My Chef Catering provided excellent food and entertainment for the evening festivities, everyone was dancing the night away (or sitting by the firepit with smores, playing Jenga or Bags or exploring the grounds of the farm!) there was something for everyone to do. Such a fun wedding!! Tracy also made the wedding invitations herself – they are ah-mazing! Congratulations Tracy and Zach, I will you many, many happy years together!
