DIANE + HUNTER
NEW YEAR'S EVE WEDDING | FAIRMONT HOTEL | CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Wow, what an incredible wedding Diane & Hunter had!! Within 10 minutes of meetings Diane, I knew several things were for sure….one, this would be an incredible wedding…two, it would ooooze with style…and three, we would have the kind of relationship that just clicked and was awesome!! I was totally right….and I can’t tell you how much I loved being a part of this wedding!! Combine downtown Chicago, New Years Eve, One stunning and incredible couple and fun wedding party, a stellar, uber stylish venue and top it off with one crazy awesome wedding dress…and you have a recipe for magic. We had such a fun day….starting off with the rehearsal, through a fun day of pictures with the bride & groom and wedding party, to a beautifully sweet ceremony and into one heck of an awesome party that brought in the New Year! It was all just terrific and truly a special thing to be a part of!!! Diane & Hunter…I just adore you both soo much!! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your amazing wedding!! XO!

Another very sweet first meeting…
I ADORE this series soooo much!!! Couldn’t decide on the black and white or sepia…loved them both…so you get them both!
And we were off to the Train Station because it was a windy, take your breath away 12 degrees outside in Chicago…and had to be in the double negatives with the windchill! Yikes!
I can’t believe Diane endured this….she’s such a trooper! I was totally scared I would have my first bride with frostbite!
One amazing cocktail hour…complete with incredible food and LOTS of it…which continued through the end of the night with meals, snacks and desserts galore! Oh soo tempting for a pregnant chick! 
And then the stunning reception…
Hunter and Diane did the countdown! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!!!!!!
After the incredible cocktail hour, then salad and a full dinner, then cake, then a full dessert and fruit bar, they had a late night snack to complete the night!

WOW! I love these images! Diane & Hunter are gorgeous of course…these pictures are so fabulous. I love the way you made my legs look and loving the one of me and the hubby celebrating then kissing at the strike of midnight. I’m so happy D&H have these from their wedding. Where are they? How do I order some? Excellent work. Best, Kim.
