For those that don’t know…in a Jewish wedding ceremony, the bride has to wear a simple gold ring. No stones or other diamonds.

Priceless expressions…look at the flower girl in the back, she has the best expression!

Heidi in her Inbal Dror wedding gown from Dimitras Bridal Couture – simply stunning! As a photographer, I always want a few minutes to photograph the bride by herself!

Photographer’s Tip: Sometimes it’s about the symmetry…sometimes it’s about a repeating pattern…but sometimes it’s about a little wink or smirk that makes the best photo!

Millennium Park Wedding Day Photos

Though their wedding was in November, we were able to catch the last of the Fall colors!

Millennium Park has such a variety of vegetation, that something is bound to be yellow or red during the fall season!

Photographer’s Tip: Sometimes the best backgrounds are found in the least expectant places. The Chicago lights match the energy in Heidi + Jonathan’s expression!
