Where do we start with these two?? How about the fact that when walked in the hotel room at the start of the day, we immediately felt like Sophia had been our bestie for years?? We were laughing and having fun from the start, and it’s a good thing too— because Friday the 13th tested us at every turn! Through every obstacle we faced: construction, traffic, rain, a bad tumble (thankfully everyone was okay!!), these two kept smiling and taking a step back to take in the big picture of their wedding day. We were so impressed by how they handled everything that came their way with grace and laughter, and kept the shining light of their love burning bright. It bodes well for their life together: they clearly will be tackling everything as a team. Which is what marriage is all about.

Layla and Imran planned the most amazing wedding! It started at Chicago’s finest luxury hotel, The London House Hotel and ended a few blocks away at the Chicago Cultural Center! The Cultural Center was designed in a neoclassical style over 100yrs ago and we are obsessed with every beautiful architectural detail, including the Tiffany & Co. dome ceiling.
One of my favorite photos from their day was during their ‘first look’ – Layla’s face holds so much emotion and happiness as she heads towards Imran, all in front of the beautiful Chicago River backdrop!
Big shoutout to City Girl Events for perfectly coordinating the day and Divine Deisgns for the beautiful florals!

One of the best parts of being a wedding photographer is the opportunity to meet incredible people and be a small part of their forever memories. As soon as we met Samantha and Tanner at our initial consult, I knew they would be two of my favorites. They were so easy going, sweet and so obviously in love with one another! Their wedding at the Chicago Cultural Center was filled with so many laughs and tears - it was really a dream wedding! We are so excited to share a sneak peek of their perfect day and look forward to capturing their adorable family for years to come! Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek!
