Lorena and Rudy's anniversary photoshoot was an experience I'll never forget. Their story is a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of cherishing every moment. When their beloved fur baby fell ill just before their wedding, they made the selfless decision to prioritize their dog's health over a traditional celebration. Years later, they reached out to me to capture the wedding photos they never had, and I was honored to help them bring their vision to life.

Their dream was to have their photos taken in downtown Chicago, amidst the vibrant energy of the city. We started our session near Dearborn, with the iconic Marina Towers as our backdrop. The setting sun cast a warm glow on the cityscape, creating a romantic atmosphere.

We then made our way to the Chicago Riverwalk, where the bustling energy of the city met the serene beauty of the water. Lorena and Rudy's love for each other shone brightly as they strolled hand-in-hand along the river's edge.
One of the highlights of the session was their rented electric boat from Chicago Boat Company. I hopped aboard and captured some truly unique photos as they cruised along the river, laughter echoing across the water. It was a moment of pure joy and spontaneity.
After their boat ride, we found a set of stairs where they shared a mini wedding cake, a symbolic gesture to celebrate their enduring commitment.
Even a quick break at an ice cream shop became a photo opportunity, capturing the genuine and unscripted moments of their evening.
This experience was more than just a photoshoot; it was a celebration of love, resilience, and second chances. I'm incredibly grateful to Lorena and Rudy for trusting me to capture these precious memories.
