osteria via stato wedding | Phil + Brittany

Oh am I excited to share this gorgeous wedding gallery with you all today! I absolutely loved getting to work with Phil + Brittany throughout their wedding planning process and getting to capture it all was such a dream! Phil + Britt were just so much fun to work with and be around. They put together one stunning day – filled to the brim with gorgeous details, a watercolorist (yessss she was awesome!) and one of the best meals any wedding guest could ask for!!  These are two people that love life together, and who could not be more excited to get married! Surrounded by so much happy love and their amazing loved ones, getting to photograph these memories was an honor, and I loved every moment of it! I started the morning with Brittany and the girls over at Hotel Palomar, while Maggie and Phil were hanging out and getting ready at Woodlawn Tap : ) Britt – you darling are an absolute vision!!  Goin’ to the chapel…. that remarkable Rockefeller Chapel : ) I mean this…. what an entrance! Maggie’s view…My views…. I love these images of Britt + Phil making the same-same face at each other a few steps apart : ) Mazel!! So this was the best. I cooked up a plan with Phil to surprise his new wife with a visitor…. their sweet pup Charlie!! Luckily my hubs was off that Saturday and I convinced him it would be a great idea to pick up Charlie from day care and drive him to the church. And that is just what happened! “OMG I haven’t cried all day – till now!” – Britt upon seeing Charlie : ) University of Chicago, I have a soft spot for you as a wedding photography backdrop! Look at all this style!!!! Beauties! This dapper groom – killin it! The details! I loved them all, they were executed to perfection and SO much fun!!! Heeeey newlyweds!  First Dance — Queen, “My Best Friend” Phiiiiil! Briiiiitt! My goodness do we love you guys and did we have an absolute blast getting to capture your gorgeous wedding day! It was so much fun, and we could not get enough of your wonderful friends + families – they were amazing! Thank you so very much for having us there to not only capture your beautiful day, but to also to coordinate all of that awesomeness you guys put together! Huge congrats + thanks again – XO, L
