You’ll remember Annie and Frankie from their amazing Chicago Botanic Gardens engagement session here. They met in high school, and have been together for 8 and a half years…they’re so stinking cute/funny/sweet/hilarious/loving/etc. that I honestly don’t even know how to fully express it in words, in only a short little blog nugget. So I’m going to let my pictures do that talking and you’ll understand what I mean :) But seriously, this wedding was FUN. I mean, laugh out loud, I didn’t want to leave kind of fun. Oh, and Frankie? Those are tears (and lots of them) that you’ll see when Annie walks down the aisle (oh who am I kidding, he started crying even before a single person started coming down). These two love each other; the best friend, you’re my one and only kind of love. It’s adorable, real, and awesome. Lastly, keep an eye out for Annie’s laugh, it totally sums up the happiness that this whole day had. Enjoy the pics!
Ceremony: St. Gertrude’s Perish, Chicago, IL
Reception: Chateau Ritz Banquets, in Niles, IL

The joy, the love, the laughters, the music, the dance, the company, all the drinks and last but not least ending the night with you two crazy people makes me believe that fairy tales can be true and that there is a happily ever after. These photos definitely bring me back to that amazing crazy night that I was able to be a part of and it definitely expresss the love you guys have for each other! Best wedding ever!!

Just want to say congratulations to you both! Im sad I wasnt able to make the wedding. Frankie im so happy for you brother! Wish we lived closer to hang more. It was always a blast. Annie, Frankie is a great guy always treat him as a King as you will always be his queen. Miss ya Frankie! All the best AKA your little chub! Lol
The pictures are great they catch special moments. That will live in our hearts and memories well the pictures are good because at the end of the night no one was in condition to take any pictures. I do say I couldn’t remember the next day the last hours of the party that’s because I was having a great time on my little brothers big day wedding. I hope every body had a good time and made it home safe.
What a beautiful day! The pictures capture all the moments that we were lucky enough to experience firsthand. Thank you so much, Katherine–you made my sister so happy with these pictures!!!
Wow!!! I’m so sorry I wasn’t there, but these pictures make me feel like I was! Incredible!!!
First off, I would like to say congratulations to Frankie and Annie Rosales! The wedding was amazing and such a great time. I was thankful to be part of it and it is definitely a wedding to remember! And lastly I would like to give a shout out to the photographers who did a tremondous job! Amazing pictures!
