Meet Anna:

and Matt:

Anna and Matt were one of our most excited and in-the-moment couples to date. It seemed like there was not one moment that passed them by that they weren’t completely in. I know the day probably seemed like it was over in an instant to the two of them, just as it seemed to us and to most everyone who gets married. But I think they will look back and remember not just the long sequence of moments that made up their day, but the little parts between the big events; and they won’t only remember waiting to walk down the aisle (or waiting for her to walk down the aisle)… they’ll remember how it all felt. And that’s the important part.

Just as much as we’re blessed by our wonderful couples, we’re also blessed with wonderful families to work with, and Anna and Matt’s were no exception.

Love how excited they are after their kiss…

…and the minute after the ceremony…

We said it in their sneak peek, but the H Hotel was beautiful. We’re a little worried sometimes on bitter-cold days (like their wedding day) about pictures, but we didn’t have any reason to be with their reception here.

This might be my favorite:

… but the one of the left might be, too.

The H Hotel has a recurring theme of birds throughout it’s decor.

Leandra’s favorite, to end the set.

Anna and Matt, we feel so lucky to have ended our year with your wedding, and feel so lucky to be able to work with wonderful people like the two of you. All the best to you and your new life together in Chicago!
