Charisse + George : Evanston Golf Club Wedding

Charisse and George are two of the sweetest people you will ever meet. When they asked me to share their special day with them, I was thrilled. You can feel the love they have for each other fill a room, and that made their wedding day such a joy to be a part of. Everyone was there to have a good time and celebrate the beginning of Charisse and George's new life together. And let me tell you, they really know how to celebrate.

Even with a memorable start of the entire city not having running water throughout the morning of getting ready, and a game of hide and seek with the wedding vows, the day was perfect. We started off at the Hampton Inn in Skokie getting ready where the ladies had their makeup done by the lovely Lillian at Starlight Makeup. Then we hopped in a shuttle to the beautiful Evanston Golf Club for the festivities!

Now since I am a photographer, and not a writer, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Charisse and George, I am so honored to have been able to capture this momentous occasion, and I wish you both the very very best in your life together!
