Chicago Wedding - Farah & Gadier | Pakistani & Arabic traditions

I recently had the opportunity to shoot along with Sarah Babcock on a wonderful 3 day wedding event in the greater Chicago area. We totaled a solid 33 hours of being on the clock shooting, but with the combination of beautiful Pakistani-Arabic celebrations, it's hard to imagine stopping!

Three days, three locations and a thoroughly enjoyable group of family and friends made the time go fast - and resulted in a lot of really fun photos. Events ranged from their day number two reception in Rosemont, Illinois at the Stephens Convention Center, to the day three more intimate event at Meyer's Castle in Dyer, Indiana. Here's just a small taste of what their day was like!

Naperville, Illinois Family Sessions...

While being in Chicago for Ali & Kevin's Street Session, I also had some time to do a couple of family sessions in beautiful Naperville. Their Riverwalk area of course is a great place for photos - but really the whole town is loaded with great possibilities. I'll look forward to shooting there again sometime! Between getting some nice portraits and having some fun goofing off too - here's a few quick highlights from that morning...
