It was an absolute privilege to capture the beautiful wedding of TJ and Eileen, held at St. John of the Cross with a reception at the luxurious Westin Hotel in Lombard. Having previously photographed the weddings of TJ’s sisters, Nicole and Kristen, over the past two years, it was truly an honor to be entrusted with documenting each significant milestone in this family’s journey.

Despite the chilly February weather in Chicagoland, Eileen and TJ’s wedding day was filled with warmth and joy. Braving the 30-degree temperatures and snow, the entire wedding party exuded resilience and enthusiasm. Eileen’s radiant spirit was undeterred by the cold, and the day passed swiftly amidst laughter and celebration.

Here are some cherished highlights from their St. John of the Cross wedding at Westin Hotel Lombard, capturing the love, laughter, and unforgettable moments shared by Eileen, TJ, and their loved ones. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have been part of their special day, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to them for entrusting me with such an important task.
