A Winter Wedding at Cotillion Banquets: Lena & Igor

post filed in:

Wedding

From Bridesmaid to Watson Bride, getting to be there to photograph Lena & Igor’s wedding this past weekend was truly special and while there were so many memorable parts of their wedding day, I wanted to share just my top three favorites… A Wedding Wednesday tradition.

#3. Getting to do photos at the Lincoln Park Conservatory. This was such a beautiful option for a Winter Wedding and I just LOVE all the bold color we got to capture in these shots, especially the dreamy veil photos!!!

#2. From the heartfelt signing of Lena & Igor’s beautiful ketubah to the mouthwatering tapas that greeted guests at their reception. It’s all about the details that make memories unforgettable, and I’m so grateful we got to be there to capture these moments.

Bonus: Seeing THREE of my Watson Brides at one wedding!

#1. However, my favorite part of Lena & Igor’s wedding was getting to capture the couple’s first look. It’s such a special moment and this past weekend was no exception. I think you’ll see what I mean when you scroll. : )
