Shedd Aquarium Wedding - Jessica & Stephen

Bride & groom embrace along Lake Michigan near the Chicago Planetarium. 

I'm happy to feature Jessica & Stephen's wedding images as my first new blog post.  They were wonderful to photograph and simply to be around.  They hosted their ceremony and reception at the Shedd Aquarium, and I was excited to photograph there again.  Truly one of the premiere classic venues in Chicago!
