Jill & Mike -Beautiful, Intimate Chicago Backyard Microwedding

September 02, 2020

Okay. So this whole pandemic thing blows. There is absolutely no debating this fact.

While it most certainly hasn’t been easy watching this monster virus do it’s darndest to annihilate the wedding industry, we creative small business owners more or less watching our projected year’s work go up in smoke, I know that it has been every bit as agonizing for those couples anxiously attempting to plan, replan and/or postpone one of the most important days in their lives.

Through all of the stress, it has truly been incredible my phenomenal couples navigate their way through this uncharted territory.

Take the amazing Jill & Mike. These two truly are some of the kindest, sweetest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, let alone working with.

Finding their 2020 wedding plans in the cross hairs of a post Covid-19 world, these two decided to make the darn thing official in the face of the craziness in one of the absolute loveliest ceremonies I’ve ever had the privilege of capturing.

Set in the stunning back garden of the bride’s parents home (the very house she grew up in!), it somehow managed to be elegant, cozy, intimate and exciting all at once. In a word; absolutely beautiful.

Take note, people. Love is alive and well!

Congrats to this fabulous couple! Cannot wait to celebrate with you in style once we can all get within six feet of each other! <3
