Jacqueline and Andrew’s Chicago winter wedding was simply magical.  I have adored getting to know this couple and have no doubt that an amazing lifetime of adventure awaits these two – you can see it in the way they look at each other.

Their day started at the bride’s parents’ home.  This was particularly special because it was the same house where the bride’s parents had their own wedding portraits.   From the moment the father of the bride saw Jacqueline in her wedding dress, memories old and new began to merge…The memory of his own vows with his beautiful wife.  The memories of raising their daughters within the walls of that very home, and now seeing his daughter transform into an absolutely stunning bride. I’ve said it before, but it is truly humbling to be witness to these moments.  It’s a good thing I have a gigantic camera in front of my face to hide the tears!

Jacqueline and Andrew chose to have a “first look” and they glowed for every minute that followed. These best friends were united for life in a memorable celebration filled with gorgeous wintery touches.  Enjoy a glimpse of their beautiful holiday wedding.
