When I met Katie, we instantly clicked. I was excited about her and Pete’s wedding from day one. We had bonded over both knowing what it’s like to be in a long distance relationship and how rewarding it is to finally be living in the same place (long distance is tough!). Not knowing when you’ll see each other next can put a damper on the relationship. When she reached out to me, she and Pete had already been engaged for a year and had survived the encumbrance of having a thousand miles between them.

Katie and Pete were married at the Bridgeview Yacht Club on a gorgeous August day (seriously, we’ve been having perfect weather this summer…) and their wedding was just overflowing with class and elegance, clearly a reflection of their personal style and taste. Their families were so welcoming and I loved every second of shooting their wedding. I’ve very much enjoyed this past year knowing these two and chatting for hours over every last detail. While I’m sad that the wedding planning phase is over, I am so happy they are finally married! Congratulations, you guys!! I can’t wait to see where your life together takes you.
