I met Otise and John at
Laura and Ray's wedding in the Dominican Republic and was immediately drawn to their personalities, their striking good looks, and the chemistry between them. All these things rolled together made for a really fun impromptu photo shoot (it didn't hurt that we were on an insanely beautiful beach in the Caribbean either!) Needless to say, I was super excited to also photograph their wedding in Chicago! Otise and John planned a beautiful wedding ceremony (long distance, mind you, as they are currently living on the east coast!) at the
Joseph Bond Chapel on the campus of the University of Chicago followed by a killer reception at the
Quadrangle Club. Although the rain tried to dampen spirits, Otise and John held fast to the true purpose of the day and made the best of it! What an honor it was to be a part of your day! My wishes to you for love, happiness, and joy throughout your marriage! (*Note: longest post of your life ahead!)
The Quadrangle Club's atmosphere made for some great ring shots!
Otise is a natural beauty but she was drop dead gorgeous after getting her makeup done by Aku Auset.
Chloe, flower girl extraordinaire! She was also a flower girl in Laura and Ray's wedding!
The bridesmaids' first look at Otise! I think they approve!
Time to get married!
John and Otise wrote their own vows. So awesome.
I love, love, love long veils. This is why:
The speeches were a little emotional...
First dance!
Father of the bride!
Mother of the groom!
We ventured out into the city after dark in a sweet Rolls Royce to get some city pics!
The coolest car ever.
CHICAGO!!!!!!!!
I know this is practically the worst photo I've ever taken but it was pretty cool...the news lady was waving at Otise and John!
Happily ever after...
