They had their ceremony as their Presbyterian church in Lincolnshire, and moved the party to Pinstripes in Barrington. I have never shot at Pinstripes, but I sure hope its not my last! Their cover outdoor patio was perfect for the weather, and had a large floor space, games for the kids, and not to mention the hanging lights which I’m a huge sucker for. Of course, it was beautiful, but I am all about the people. The staff was so genuine, helpful, accommodating, and fun! Honestly, my experience there was a breathe of fresh air!

I swooped them away after the ceremony down to the golf course where we took the best couples photos and they just give you all the butterflies and smiles.

Nick and Ellen’s engagement session could not have been more perfect. We started off in Lincoln park with their pup, Bengal, who really was the star of the […]
