Lindsay and Tony live in Chicago and was having a destination wedding here in Lyons! When they contacted me, everything Lindsay described for their wedding sounded beautiful – I was very excited to be shooting it. A little bit before Christmas, Lindsay’s mother past away quite unexpectedly. I could not imagine the feelings of losing a parent, let alone also loosing a mother just before your wedding – my heart wrenched for Lindsay and her family. During the wedding day, they had so many moments that I started caring around a slue of tissues for myself. On the back of Lindsay’s dress, she attached a broach that had her mother’s picture in it – it was beautiful. Lindsay said it was because her mother “always has my back”.

The details Lindsay and Tony put together for their ceremony and reception was unbelievable. Every little touch created so much character and atmosphere I want to duplicate it for every wedding. I was a trill to be apart of. Here are a few pictures from their day!
