It always feels extra special when I get to photograph the wedding of someone in the Peace for Pits family. Katie + Ryan rescued two gorgeous pitties who were able to make cameos at the engagement and family session at Fabyan Forest Preserve. It seems that every time I explore Fabyan, there is something new to discover. This time Miss Addison happened upon beautiful yellow flowers (brown-eyed Susans?). The bright, happy blooms mimicked her personality. She was such a fun photo subject!

Their wedding (my first of 2016) took place at the fabulous Hotel Baker in St. Charles. The ceremony was filled with laughter, and the holiday decor was rich and warm – so welcoming on a cold January day! It was the perfect setting for their celebration. Congratulations Katie + Ryan!
