Found a hidden gem in the suburbs

Needless to say all brides look beautiful on their wedding day, and with makeup and hair and gorgeous gowns, it is quite easy to make a good photograph of all these wonderful women. But as a photographer, I often find myself in ugly lighting situations on the bedrooms were my brides are getting ready. It is so challenging to make magic in rooms that are so poorly lit and to top it off, we always have tons of bags from all the bridesmaids and guests getting ready in the suite. I was feeling this way, when I suddenly found a beautiful spot in the lobby of the hotel and boom! literally, everything changed from that point on.

I mean, we went from this to this:

What a relief!

Gorgeous to say the least!

The girl with the prettiest ring and most beautiful smile

.. and we must add, this bride had the most beautiful smile during a stormy day. Rain in the radar on wedding dates is not fun, but Pranjali simply kept on smiling… so we kept on click’ng! snaaaaap!

We’ve seen and photographed hundreds of wedding rings, but for us to say this was the prettiest ring is not an exaggeration. It was for sure one of our favorites!

Wedding Day

I can’t even tell you how much we love working at the Chicago Marriott hotel in Schaumburg which has been Unbelievable! But this wedding had something going to their advantage if I may vent a bit. Anish and Pranjali not only were a fun couple to photograph, but after hearing everyones speeches at their wedding events, we realized that we had come across a couple of people whose personalities are out of this world! Pranjali is the sweetest and easy going bride, she had a smile on her face all day and made us feel so relaxed when we were around her. Anish too made sure to invite us into his own world. There was just something about them, I can’t pin point it, but we have very good memories from this wedding and the Dream Occasions Team. People often review our work and leave us reviews, I wish we could review this couple the other way around lol. If we could, we would give them a 5star review!
