Read MoreWe are advocates for love. Plain and simple. And when I headed around town with Cat and Courtney for their Chicago engagement shoot, it was clear that real love is what I'd be capturing on their wedding day. Add to that the fact that their wedding was going to take place at the W Hotel with stunning views of Lake Michigan followed by the ceremony and reception on a yacht on Lake Michigan...umm count us in!
Cat wore a stunning strapless satin gown and Courtney rocked a modern, jumper from Kleinfelds. The ladies wore fabulous Bagdley Mischka heels and Cat carried a bouquet of ranunculus, roses, hydrangeas and dusty millers. The couple's adorable chihuahua Brighton was in attendance, as were a sweet flower girl and ring bearer.
The perfect evening ended in fireworks over Navy Pier, emotional and happy toasts and Cat even serenaded Courtney with a ballad she had sung to her early in their relationship! #cgcdlove for sure!
The weather and light couldn't have been more beautiful for their wedding day and the happiness and joy from their family and friends who traveled from across the country was truly one for the record books!
We are honored to have photographed and videotaped their special day and hope you enjoy this beautiful sneak peek! Congratulations you two!
