Wow, time flies!  Seems like yesterday, I was at the Lincoln Park Zoo & Animal Farm with Amy and Luke for their engagement session!  It was my pleasure to be part of such a delightful day of special moments. Thanks to Angie for being my right-hand photo woman!  Did I mention they planned this wedding from Boston?! Lots of giggles, peonies, tears, pink and LOVE!  Lots of images to look through, let us get started!

Btw, all the vendors will be listed at the end of the post.  I knew it was going to be a good day for photography when I walked into Amy’s parents house in Naperville (just outside of Chicago) and saw decades of family photos on the walls!  Always a pleasure knowing how much a couple and family cherishes photos. Amy was all smiles from the minute I arrived and departed!

PINK!!  A bright, summery color of pink too.  I was in love with the ribbon on the flower girl’s ball. Peonies are my favorite!  The flowers were phenomenal!

The ceremony was held on the grounds of the Naper Settlement.  Absolutely adorable little chapel.

We didn’t have a lot of time to explore the grounds, but we did grab a couple photos at the mansion.  Made me happy :)

I could have stayed on this bridge for hours but something told me their lips would have been super chapped.
