YES!!!! Oh my gosh, what a great day. Beautiful people and weather are just the best.

Chad and Ali’s wedding is one to remember for sure. Lots of great people involved. Ugh, makes me so giddy. SO Ali, haha oh my gosh, she has some of the best laughs. Her laughter is seriously so contagious and addictive. She makes you want to be funny pretty much. And that’s just the one side, she’s also REALLY hilarious herself…so just be aware that your spirits will be instantly lifted around Ali. So dang easy going, loves to love her people, and is just so friggen fun. Of course this was that awesome. OF COURSE.

And coupling along with Ali’s amazing laughter is Chad’s amazing humor and wit. HAHA seriously his brain works so fast, and still so easy going like his lady. AND, if any of you hear or see anything from me that is a smart sport comment…99.997% chance it came from Chad (or Josh Swanner). No joke, Chad is my go to for anything new going on with the Bears, Cubs, and any other Chicago team I should pay attention to. Super dig.

BOTH are so outstandingly easy going, and so fun. It was a stupid fun party at Concorde too. Oh my gosh…please, do yourself a favor and keep looking through, you’ll see some really hilarious adventures we went on that night.

CONGRATS to you both, Chad and Ali!!!! I had SO much fun, and it was a MEGA honor being your photographer for your wedding. Couldn’t be happier for the both of you.

Super sweet moment when Ali’s mom gave her something old and blue from when she HERSELF went down the aisle. So so cool….

Ali is a genious for getting Chad a groom’s survival kit. Perfect. There may have been Maker’s Mark in there. :) Ruter0022 Ruter0023 Ruter0024 Ruter0025 Ruter0026 Ruter0027 Ruter0028 Ruter0029 Ruter0030 Ruter0031 Ruter0032 Ruter0033 Ruter0034 Ruter0035 Ruter0036 Ruter0037 Ruter0038 Ruter0039 Ruter0040 Ruter0041 Ruter0042 Ruter0043 Ruter0044 Ruter0045 Ruter0046 Ruter0047 Ruter0048 Ruter0049
