chicago history museum wedding | ryan + blythe


chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-74So I have had this dream of shooting on the black and white tile of my beloved Chicago History Museum since I started out in this Chicago wedding photography industry and thanks to Blythe + Ryan, well that dream came true! And I could not have dreamt it better myself : ) Ryan and Blythe put together a stunning, classic wedding day that was filled with a whole lot of happy tears, tradition, beautiful words, and killer dance moves. I could not get enough! These two have this sweet quietness together where they just light up and you kind of feel like they might just be the only 2 people in the world. It is a rather wonderful energy to get to capture!  I started the morning with Blythe at her childhood home – which I just loved! chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-1 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-2 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-7 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-3 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-13 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-15 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-9 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-12 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-19 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-20 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-10 chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-23chicagohistorymuseumwedding_r+b_ellerosephoto-18 I adore this image.

“Our wedding day was the best day of our lives! It was everything I had imagined. I wouldn’t have done anything differently! We had so much fun celebrating with our friends and family. We also got to work with amazing, talented, and helpful people and I just loved how the day turned out! There were some hiccups during the day but that’s to be expected…if you go into the day knowing that there is a possibility something may not go off without hitch then you’ll be able to stay calm and stress free when something does happen! One of my favorite moments from the night was Ryan and I literally walked home from the Chicago History Museum after our reception! ”
