Happy anniversary to Laura & Victor! Can’t believe it’s already been a year.

Photographing A Carnivale Chicago Wedding

I had a fantastic time capturing Laura and Victor’s colorful engagement session. Since then, I couldn’t wait for their summer wedding at Carnivale Chicago. The energetic vibe of their venue fit with the liveliness they wanted; incorporating the bold interior colors and original fine art, as well as showcasing their shared love of latin culture. They let the colors take the lead in their design, but also included their own touches with subtle flowers and llamas. These two really are such a fun couple. Combined with such a visually appealing venue, it really was a joy to capture.
