Chicago

Oh lordy.  We went to Chicago to photograph a wedding…..LAST AUGUST!  I will never get behind on blogging again I tell you.

This was such an exciting trip to me for several reasons.  1.  We got to photograph a wedding in Chicago!  We love to travel and we love love love to go places for weddings – don’t let us being out of town photographers stop you!  Our travel fees are minimal to none depending on where!  2.  Neither one of us had ever been to Chicago before!  3.  It was one of our first trips away after living in Europe for so long so it felt so so so good to be exploring a new place!

After hostels, couch surfing and sleeping in airports, a real life hotel felt so luxurious!
