From Markit PhotographyKelli and Fei are such a gorgeous couple! Just look. Kelli reached out to me about their unique wedding earlier this year. She described the photography and day as more of a couples shoot with she and Fei around their city, and a dinner reception with family and friends.

The two are jet-setting off to Lake Como, Italy for a destination wedding this fall. Many of their family cannot make it across the pond so Kelli and Fei hosted a beautiful, 5-course dinner with wine pairing at the Roscoe Village restaurant, Piazza Bella.

Before the dinner, we took a quick stroll through Lincoln Park to get a few shots of the stunning couple, as well as snuck into the less-attractive, more unique and industrial parts of Chicago. The results were so fun, spontaneous and beautiful! The night couldn’t have been more perfect with live music, cocktail hour, fun and good food. I know these two will have a fabulous destination wedding and can’t wait to follow along in their journey!
