Katie is such a sweet girl, and we had a blast at her Fall Senior photo session. She is graduating from Highland High in Highland, IL and is attending SIUE where she will be on the cheering squad. This shoot was taken at the Gardens at SIUE, and downtown Edwardsville.

Kim Ackerman photographer. https://kimackerman.com/blog/chicago-wedding-3713924 I had the oppertunity to photograph a gorgeous wedding in the Chicago Suburbs. My friend and esteem collegue needed a second shooter, and I just so happened to be in the area that week! The Wedding was at the Drake Hotel in Oakbrook, and everything was just stunning. 

Attention to detail was an understatement! The cocktail hour had gorgeous table centerpieces and live accordian plaer/singer. The bridesmaids all had 'red bottom' shoes. Decorations in the main hall looked straight out of a magazine. It was definitely a 'Big Italian Wedding'. 

Here are some highlights form the day, enjoy!
