city view loft wedding | malcolm + sybil

cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 76 Ohhhhhh yes, yes, yes a million times yes to Chicago Spring time weddings. Bonus – the greenery + loft wedding look was such a fun one to get to capture, so much inspiration! Oh and then there is Malcolm + Sybil, two of the kindest, genuine, smiliest, dance machines I have ever had the privilege of photographing! You guys, I was honestly tearing up as I was editing this one, especially the vows/readings/speech portion of the day – because the words that were spoke to them, about them, and from them – well they were beautiful! Plus – I just was obsessed with all of the details Sybil + Malcolm put together – the invites, the shoes, THE DRESS, the greenery – just wait. I mean you’ve probably blown past my writings to check them out and I don’t blame you, everything was just lovely!! Alright so I started the day with Sybil and her gals over at the Westin River North, while Nicki was hanging with Malcolm and the guys before we all met up on the bridges for one showstopping first look. I say this because all the people crossing by could not keep their eyes off of these two!! cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 3 These two — same/same laugh/smiles, the best!cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 5 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 7 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 20 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 2 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 1 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 4 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 9 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 10 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 11 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 16 cityviewloft ellerosephoto SM 17 So Malcolm has one of the worlds greatest smiles.

I adore you two. Anyone that wants their last photos of their wedding to be with tacos and guac is my kind of people. You two were an absolute dream to photograph. I am so honored I was able to be there to photograph these memories with you guys. Taking in all of that happy love that was coming your way was just so beautiful. The universe absolutely sent you two together, and capturing that chemistry was the best!!! Thank you, thank you so much + congrats again!
