Maya found me online while researching for a wedding photographer in the Chicago area. She was planning from California for her wedding in Illinois. We set up a Skype meeting to go over everything and just to see each other before their day. It was my first time meeting a couple this way but it was so great. I now recommend this to my out of town or very busy clients as it’s a way to chat face to face even if we can’t sit down in person. You can actually reach me via Skype from my website! The icon is under the header on the main page.
Maya told me that Sunil’s family lives in Oak Park so that’s why they decided to have their ceremony in Illinois. Sunil grew up here so it was really special to come home to celebrate. Their story is a modern one. They are both career driven and successful. Neither one was actively looking to find a partner. But, they met and then just knew that they were meant to be. Maya even said in her speech to the guests at her wedding that “Sunil” is the reason she decided to get married. Aw.
I am so happy for you both!
