Ray and Ruthleen’s Chicago downtown wedding back in October was so beautiful and filled with amazing details. The litrary theme was prevalent all through the wedding – not suprising, given that both these guys are lawers. They met in law school and have been together for 13 years. Family and friends gathered together to bless this couple and they are so in love!
The actual ceremony was in St.Norbert Catholic Church in Northbrook and reception at the beautiful Chicago Newberry Library in downtown Chicago. I have to say the Newberry is one of my favorite places to shoot! Between Gangnam style as the opening song and a fun Photo Booth, the reception party was a riot!
A special thanks to Nong Cavender of Nong Cavender Photography for the opportunity to second shoot this beautiful wedding.
