I will always remember Stacey as the bride who 'accidentally' kissed her groom, Matt, before their wedding ceremony :) In order to ensure that we had ample time to take as many of the photographs around Chicago that these two amazing people wanted, we did a photo session before the ceremony. Having never done one of these sessions before a ceremony before, I went through my normal routine, and asked Matt and Stacey to kiss. What I didn't realize was the possibility of bad luck that this kiss could have caused. However, at the end of the day, I realized that these two really love each other, belong together, and that this wedding day superstition simply didn't apply to Matt and Stacey.

It's always amazing how you can plan a liberally timed schedule, and somehow end up rushing to make sure you are on time. It's exactly what happened yesterday, but it really made getting some of these shots that much more exciting! Luckily, I had Copper Siegel along to help as my assistant photographer. She was a tremendous help throughout the day, and I cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work!

Matt and Stacey, It was truly a pleasure working with you, your family and your friends. Thank you so much for making me a part of your big day! I wish all the happiness in the world to you both, and hope that you enjoy your Italian honeymoon!!

And now for some photos :)
