Skyline Loft Bridgeport Wedding: Myrna + Manuel

January 4, 2019

Our #1 New Year’s resolution (besides working out and eating healthy?) is to start blogging more… sounds easy but it’s not! If we write the same way we speak, our text will be full of Emojis, quotation marks, and tons of grammar mistakes. But like every new resolution, is better if you start somewhere.

Trying to recap some of the weddings of 2018, we got to Myrna and Manuel’s big day, a discreet couple with much love and respect for their families. 

One of the things we remember most about this wedding was the crazy wind we had throughout the day, stopping us from taking pictures outside as planned. However, not only the bridal party but also the couple cooperated in such a way that we were able to take advantage of the remaining time after the ceremony and at the same time take a quick stroll at one of the most breathtaking views of the city The Museum Campus. Is not a surprise that choosing where to take pictures in Chicago is never a problem as every corner seems to have a  special charm. 

From their getting ready at the Virgin Hotel to the romantic evening in the rustic Skyline Loft Bridgeport, this couple enjoyed every second. There was a moment that I will never forget and that I mentioned to Juancho at the end of the night, and it was the way Manuel looked at Myrna while dancing … it was a mix between “we did it” and “there is no one more beautiful in the universe than you” kind of look that made me feel how blessed we are to witness so much love.

Thanks guys for allowing us to witness your love so close and passing on that positive vibe?

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.
