We started out at the Chicago Theater and made our way over to Kitty O'Shea's! So many photo options along the way!
The Art Institute Gardens are a photo gem within the city. They are never as busy as Millenium Park and are gorgeous in their own right!
Katie and Marty are going to have a wicked cool wedding in June! They are going to have an Irish theme to their wedding and Marty and the groomsmen are even wearing kilts. That's one of the reasons that we went to Kitty O'Shea's only to find it closed! We still got some awesome shots around Chicago and even rainy it makes for a great background!
I just had so much fun at Jen and Dan's Wedding that I decided to leave you with a really quick sneak peak since I've got a couple of events before their official blog ;) Hope you enjoy!
Any couple that's willing to go outside in February in Chicago is amazing in my book!
Pinkie goes everywhere with Maya. She was showing her around Chicago even though it was both their first times in the city ;)
Maya turned two on December 20th! I love getting to photograph her through the stages and she just seems so big now. This was her first time in Chicago and she was almost overwhelmed with all the commotion! Pinkie of course enjoyed Chicago almost as much as Maya!
While I was taking pictures of Michelle and Jason with the groomsmen, all the bridesmaids were behind me! I just couldn't pass up taking a pictures of everyone huddled under one wrap!
The winners of the anniversary dance waved goodbye to the competition! haha.

Michelle and Jason were married on November 22, 2009! I had an amazing time shooting Michelle and Jason's wedding! I love getting to know the couple and it makes it so much fun to be a part of their wedding. That's one of the main reasons that I love doing an engagement session. Not only do I get to know them as a couple and how they interact with each other, but they get to know me. I've been told that it's like having another friend at their wedding and that is one of the biggest compliments I can get!
I'll leave you with an amazing email that I got from Michelle that always leaves me teary eyed (read some of my other love notes at www.briannebradburyphotoraphy.com)
"So, we got back from our honeymoon last night (had a fabulous time :)) and we checked our e-mail to see if the pictures came in because we know you are usually ahead of your deadlines and to our surprise we found the most fabulous wedding pictures in the world awaiting us.
After our travels Jason and I stayed up last night going though each picture twice and picking out all our favorites. I have to tell you... of all the wedding pictures I've seen in my life. These are by far my favorite (and not just because they are of my wedding). You did an amazing job and I can't thank you enough for capturing all the little details that I had wanted to keep memories of so badly. Thank you Thank you Thank you."
I had a great time with the Wyzard family at http://www.downtownelgin.com/Page.aspx?ID=118&PID=15 in Elgin. It was a great location, but quite a challenge to find an area that didn't have such bright sunlight! No one ever wants half their face in shadow, but I'm always up for a challenge and think the pictures turned out great! I'm also all about the sun flare. I think it makes for such a fun effect and really creates personality to the photograph.
Stay tuned for next week! Michelle and Jason's wedding!!!
I adore the Chicago Botanical Gardens for a portrait session. They have so many different locations that are ideal and it's always fun to explore them. The portrait session with Kiersten and her family was a lot of fun, but the little guy needed a cookie break half way through ;) I think we should all have cookie breaks half way through a session and everyone would be ten times happier!
I had an amazing time with Katie and Tim at Lake Arlington! They just moved to the area from Denver and wanted to send out announcements for their wedding, which I was happy as a clam to be the one to take their photos. The weather agreed with us for about an hour since it was raining for most of the day. October was so rainy, but the colors look absolutely amazing ;)
