Molly Grace Shoots Sherri and Michael's Wedding

I adored this couple, I loved their sweetness to each other and their thoughtfulness in planning a wedding that reflected them, their style and the fun they have as a couple. I knew this wedding would be hilariously fun after I did their e-session back in smoking hot July when the three of us sweat it out on Chicago's Navy Pier and they were being all silly. However shooting the wedding increased my knowledge of their story, as individuals, as a couple, and so therefore my images got the whole spectrum of emotion, I noticed they got deeper and sweeter and more real like the moment below when Sherri wiped her tear, and yet continued to show their elation for the day's arrival, and their all out silliness. What a fun day! I loved this bridal party too, they rocked and were awesome even though it was a tad bit chilly outside.

Molly Grace Shoot's Emily and Andrew's wedding

Emily and Andrew had the most beautiful day, and they worked hard for it too. Not only did they plan a classy wedding but they didn't wash their cars, they bought umbrellas and prayed to their grandma. That said, they had an amazing day, and the sun came out, in perfect time.

Molly Grace Shoots Greg & Jenny's Wedding

Greg and Jenny are the cutest! They have been planning this beautiful wedding for the past 5 months and it was one to remember. I loved the creative details, perfect touches and the moments that this wedding had. I loved that Jenny and Greg planned for their guests to enjoy cocktails before their ceremony, and loved that the ceremony and the celebration had an emphasis spending time and chatting with the people that mean the most in your lives. Truly, what a beautiful day, and what an amazing couple!

What fun to have a wedding on a Monday! What an awesome way to begin the week and first of day of the rest of your life. I was so anticipating photographing Julie and Gerald's wedding for the experience of witnessing the rich Chinese culture and traditions. We had such a great and full day, a ceremony, a reception, followed by a tea ceremony and a delicious twelve -course Chinese dinner. Julie and Gerald and their awesome families were so fun and welcoming to me and Arron as we joined their family for the day and celebrated with them.

Molly Grace Shoots Ashley & Mike's Super Fun Day!

We all were so excited to wake up and see the beautiful sunshine as the night before it poured. The thing I loved about this wedding was Ashley's excitement and humor, as she came up with funny things to say so that she didn't cry. The day had an emphasis on family, fitting since the next day was Father's Day, but anyone could clearly see by the photo's from the slideshow and the friends and families with little ones running around just how important shared times is to these too. This couple is amazing together and I am so excited for them!

Church: Our Saviors Luheran in Naperville
Reception: Arrowhead Country Club, Wheaton

I am in love with this moment here, I love the beautiful buttons of her dress and loved the hanging jewels from her necklace!

After the vows Ashley was ready to get the party started with a beer and a trip to Burger King for a cheese burger!




This is my favorite shoot of the day!
