EMILY + ETHAN'S WEDDING AT THE ARBORY

Belly laughs, face-hurts kind of smiles, and a four-legged friend named Stanley took center stage on Emily & Ethan’s Chicago wedding day at The Arbory. Starting their day at The Hoxton, E+ E had a laid-back start to their day before hopping on a trolley to Lincoln Park (their regular walking route with Stanley)! The perfect September day in the park with all their favorite people ended with a pop of champagne before heading over to The Arbory to say “I do.” As the night unfolded, Emily and Ethan surprised their guests with the ultimate Chicago treat – Portillo's!

A Note

This is some of my favorite work to date. Emily & Ethan were the definition of present on their wedding day. They truly lived in every moment of their day while extending me complete unwavering trust. Telling their story was a privilege & getting to know them was a reminder as to why I love this job. Getting to spend my days celebrating good & kind & generous people is an honor and I loved every second of celebrating E+E at my very favorite venue, The Arbory!
