Jennifer & Daniel are Married!!

On July 9th, 2011 Jennifer Paruch & Daniel Sochor were married!  It was a gorgeous sunny summer day with no rain!!  Yay!!  I started at beautiful Villa D’ Citta on Halsted.  Talk about a great place to get ready.  This place was stunning with dark hardwood floors, beautiful rooms and a great patio area tucked away in the city.  The Villa was literally 2 minutes away from the Church which was nice too.  All the details of the day were simply too much fun to photograph from the dress, the elaborate shoes and engagement ring to the beautiful flowers!  I loved the muted pink colors of the bouquets together with the champagne colored bridesmaid dresses.    I got some great getting ready shots of Jennifer and all the girls before heading over to St. Vincent de Paul Parish on Webster Ave.  The church was very big and ornate with a great balcony area for some great shots of the lovely and touching ceremony.  Once the catholic ceremony was done we took some shots on the steps of the church before heading to the 1936 white Packard they rented for their special day!  Wow!  This car was beautiful.  We headed to the Ravisloe Country Club for some great shots with the car and then I took the bride and groom and bridal party to the grounds of the country club for some great group shots.  The Ravisloe County Club is simply stunning!!  I love that place.  Having shot there before I was familiar with it’s gorgeous grounds and couldn’t wait to get back there and shoot there again.  It is the epitome of old world beauty and charm!  It was founded in 1901 so it has lots of history!  The reception dinner was delicious!!  Jennifer and Daniel enjoyed the toasts of family and friends before eating dinner and getting on the dance floor for their first dance.  Then the dance floor opened up for everyone and they all were having a great time!   A HUGE shout out to my second shooters, Tracy Petersen and Layla Eloa for doing a great job throughout the entire day!!  Jennifer and Daniel are such a sweet couple and I know they are going to have many years of happiness together!!  I was honored to photograph their beautiful wedding day!  Congratulations to you both!  I wish you all the happiness in the world!  Here are some of my favorite images of the day!  Enjoy!
