Siobhan and Michal were best friends for 12 years, and it took a global pandemic to bring them together. They fell in love over the distance of Covid and got engaged at her parents’ old house. Siobhan told us that Michal “is the best man I have ever met. I have never felt as safe as I do in a relationship with him.” We were thrilled to meet Siobhan and Michal through Christy’s sister Jo and honored to be invited to photograph their wedding this Fall!

Conrad and Christy were excited to meet up with Siobhan and her beautiful bridesmaids (including Christy’s sister Jo!) at the Hilton Garden Inn in Addison on a perfect Fall morning. Everyone was in high spirits and seemed ready to party to celebrate Siobhan and Michal! After their sweet “First Look” everyone ventured to Busse Woods for photos with the wedding party before the ceremony. The Fall colors really looked beautiful set against the wedding party’s green and black colored outfits!

After capturing some romantic portraits of Siobhan and Michal it was time to head to the northwest outskirts of Chicago for their traditional ceremony at St. Eugene’s Church. There were plenty of tears and joy as Siobhan and Michal made things official and started their married lives together! With family in to celebrate from around the world the party officially kicked off once the ceremony ended. Conrad and Christy made their way to Venuti’s where the hall was perfectly decorated to reflect Siobhan’s vision of a romantic garden wedding. The joy and energy during this reception was palpable, everyone was truly so happy to be celebrating Siobhan and Michal! We were honored to be a part of this beautiful and unforgettable day!
