Maryann & Joe - Naperville Micro Wedding

Much like my wife and I, Maryann and Joe held a small wedding outdoors in Naperville, IL amidst the lockdowns and quarantines. Social distancing was kept in check, masks were dawned and love was ready to be celebrated!

The bride started her morning with hair and makeup at Hotel Indigo in Naperville. My wife was hard at work wrapping up the flower arrangements she was commissioned for. I, well I was putting myself in a deep state of relaxation! We’ll call it part of the creative process. Once I got the call, we headed over to Hotel Indigo to help the bride and sneak in a few shots. Baby Stevie was with the grandparents and would join us later.

One thing I’ve come to learn is that weddings move fast regardless of size. One second I’m taking a picture of the shoes, and the next second they’re on the bride and she’s out the door. First looks were given, everyone took their place and the ceremony begun. It was small, short and intimate – a perfect slice of time to lock into photographs that will live forever.
