Dharna Prepares For Her Wedding!

Dharna & Samir hired me to photograph their wedding in Streamwood, IL on May 29, 2010.  You can see their Windy City Engagement session through this link!

I started early in the morning at Dharna’s home and truly enjoyed how she and her family let me be so close to everything from the very beginning of the day!

Thank you so much Dharna, I will have more previews up soon!
