Jaycie and Bryan’s nuptials at Viper Alley in Lincolnshire

One of the best things about being a photographer is working with other amazing professionals, who in time, become close friends.  I met Jaycie three years ago during a photo shoot for my sister portrait company Revealed Studios.  Jaycie is local Chicago makeup artist brimming with talent, positive energy, and dedication.  I’ve watched her grow her artistry from side work to a booming business.  She is someone who makes people feel at ease immediately. That combined with great taste and a strong work ethic make her invaluable to us.

Throughout those three years, I heard bits and pieces about her relationship with a man named Bryan.  Her face always lit up when she talked about him.  The day she came in engaged she was beaming!  Her eyes shown with joy and she was over-the-moon with excitement

The couple were married 10 years after they began dating.  They’re love story began in high school and carried on through college, the beginning of their careers, a job change for Jaycie, the purchase of their home, and adoption of their dog Roy (featured in their engagement shoot).

Their wedding was such a celebration, bringing together their two families in honor of the couple.  It’s apparent from the speeches given during the reception how many memories their friends and families share with each other.  The love stretches beyond Jaycie, Bryan, and Roy, encompassing all their guests. Bryan’s Dad said their union was fate, I couldn’t agree more.

Congrats you two!  I wish you many, many years of happiness!
