Chicago Backyard Wedding: Rachel + Adam

July 14, 2017

Moments, moments, moments… that’s what keeps us moving and motivated until the next wedding. Rachel and Adam’s wedding was FULL of those. This couple is so full of life and love, both for each other and for their families. We were waiting to share this backyard wedding with you and here is finally a glance of a super fun and emotional day. We love you both!

Wedding Gown: Theia, Magnolia Bridal

Groom Tux: Men’s Wearhouse

 

Rachel left everyone speechless… she looked STUNNING!

Like a princess…

Love when brothers are present at “the groom’s getting ready” part of the day

Joy and friends: the perfect combination

Not really a first look, but a first approach before the I Do’s

“She just kissed me!”

(Sorry Adam, I couldn’t resist to name this photo)

… You name this one ;)

Ring Bearer… a tough job ;)

Right after the ceremony, congratulations, and family formals… why not a quiet intimate moment between the new Mr. and Mrs. Let’s call it “The first artistic portrait as Mr. and Mrs.”

Love this welcome sign… Just a few cities where guests were visiting from

We went into the wood to practice the first dance… complete success!

Just one of the reason we love shooting into the woods… magic can and will happen.

Let’s be honest, they couldn’t be more adorable!

Flower girls vs. Angels

I wish we could write a book with “best speeches stories” … for dummies! ;)

I’d never forget their first dance song “Para tu amor” from my fave artists Juanes :)

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET
Juancho + Johana

We’re Johana and Juancho — partners in life, creativity, and capturing love stories across the globe. Juancho’s journey began with bold determination: he moved from Colombia to the U.S. with nothing but vision, passion, and a deep love for people’s stories. He bought the best lens on the market before even owning a camera, and after his first engagement session with friends, he came home glowing. That spark turned into a decade-long career rooted in emotion, connection, and purpose. Juancho has a magnetic personality — the kind that makes fast friends with strangers on planes, in grocery aisles, and even with our UPS guy. Weddings, with all their energy, humanity, and beautiful chaos, are his favorite kind of playground.

I bring a different kind of energy to the team. With a background in modeling and a career as a radio and TV host, I’ve always lived in creative spaces — and now I channel that into editorial work and wedding storytelling. Juancho likes to call my eye “the girly point of view,” but really it’s about noticing what often goes unseen: the softness, the glances, the stillness in between the big moments. Maybe it’s the journalist in me, but I’m always drawn to the why behind the image. Together, we balance each other — and we love creating with people who value that harmony of heart and art.
