Vanessa + Joe | Chicagoland Wedding Photographer

The wedding of Joe and Vanessa can be described as simply beautiful.   With delicate, vintage details adorning the reception hall, it was truly a whimsical wedding day.  The weather could not have been more perfect.  The location, even more so.  Emerson Creek Pottery and Tea Room was the shabby-chic reception site for V+J’s wedding and it was something else.  Truly magical.  The couple’s bountiful love for each other only was intensified with the love received from their close family and friends.  It was a pleasure second shooting this wedding with Maggie from Maggie Fortson Photography.

Congratulations on your wedding guys!  Wish you a long and blissful life together!
