It was so fun, photographing Matt & Kristen's wedding. We were so honored to hear that Kristen made her wedding photographer decision, 7 years ago after seeing the photographs we took at her sister and brother in law's wedding (Kerri & Matt Machut). We have loved getting to know Kristen and her family over the years and capturing various different moments in all of their lives. We were not surprised to learn that the man that Kristen choose to marry came with a wonderful family as well. It was beautiful to see both sets of parents spinning around the dance floor, obviously still in love after many many years of marriage, not to mention grandparents and each of the couple's married siblings doing the same. With so many good examples being set before them and an obvious love and solid foundation that Matt & Kristen have work so hard to build for themselves, we are excited to wish them a lifetime of love and many more memorable celebrations.
Matt & Kristen live in Lincoln Park and have grown in relationship in that area, so it was the perfect setting for their wedding at St. Vincent DePaul Catholic Church. Kristen and her wedding coordinator Linda Alpert from Affairs with Linda did such a fabulous job creating a Napa feel to the romantic celebration that took place under a tent at the Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forrest. From the chandeliers, tablescapes, photographs of successful marriages that proceed them, to a replica of a childhood memory of the candy store Holland Merchantile in Washington, IL where Kristen grew up, it was the perfect way for the couple to spend their day with so many friends and loved ones. We hope you enjoy the sneak peak to their day.

Thank you, Jeff and Julia - I couldn't be more thrilled with the photos. You took two non-photogenic people and created amazing pictures we'll love looking at forever. Thank you for being part of our day!

(10.14.10 @ 11:23 AM)I beg to differ with the bride. Unphotogenic? I think not! I have never seen such an elegant-looking couple! (I should know--I'm the mother of the groom.)

Jeff and Julia you are both such amazing photographers! I've said it before and will say it again-you have the ability to capture those expressions and the special moments to tell the story with such creativity as well as being discreet while doing it. Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures of Matt and Kristen's wedding day. They will be able to view their wedding album and relive their wedding day to the fullest.
