The BRIX Wedding // Angelika & Randy
Angelika & Randy know how to weather a storm. Luckily we were "trapped" at The Brix when dodging most of the rain drops last fall.

Morton Arboretum Engagement // Laura & Jon
My sweet, cuddle, adorable, magical humans. Laura and Jon met at University of Illinois. They were in the marching band together and "remember that time at band-camp".... no no just kidding. These two are hikers, nature lovers & music connoisseurs. Laura and Jon wanted to capture their engagement photos at The Morton Arboretum because Jon proposed there. They were so adventurous and patient with all my "OMG this spot" need to stop a million times along our time together.

Naperville Engagement // Jenny + Andrew
In honor of this sweet couple's big day tomorrow, I am happy to share some of the fabulous engagement session images we were able to capture. Jenny and Andrew wanted to wander downtown Naperville with a couple breaks built in. Andrew was recovering from a broken ankle, so of course we obliged with a stop at Hotel Indigo's bar and then on to The Craftsmen for a bourbon break.... 'cause, why not?! Jenny and Andrew are my first wedding of the 2019 season and I am so excited to

Chicago City Hall Wedding // Michelle + Krishna Elope in the Snow
Michelle and Krishna had a full 18 months of wedding celebrations ahead of them but they couldn't wait! They have a wedding with Michelle's family in Texas and a celebration with Krishna's family in India but they wanted something just for themselves. Insert a City Hall Wedding. I met these two Saturday morning, bright and early before the City Hall doors were open. It was a blustery and flurry filled day. The line of lovely folks waiting to get married grew and we all hud

Lincoln Park Engagement // Abby + Connor
I met Abby and Connor over 2 years ago when capturing her lovely sister, Ashley's wedding in July 2016. It was a small wedding and I had the chance to mingle and get to know the family. They were all so sweet and welcoming. Abby and Connor's relationship was somewhat new at that time but he already had the superhero designation from the family because of how helpful and fun he was during Ashley's wedding. Post wedding, the two headed back to Texas not knowing they were goin

The Lakewood Styled Wedding // Wedded with Color and Style
Wedding inspiration can come in many forms. Current trends, architecture, the look of an era. It can come from something as simple as a color. That’s how it started for our creative team. Color! Lots of bright, beautiful color. The 2017 Chicago winter and spring seemed particularly depressing this year with endless cold and cloudy days. It only took one warm day to sprout hope for flowers, greenery and whimsical love. Once we landed on our inspiration, assembling the right ve

West Loop Engagement // Britni + Ryan
It is hard to believe that my session with Britni and Ryan was only 2 short weeks ago. There were colorful leaves on the trees and it was somewhat nice out.... ugh. Winter is here. But we can check these out images and pretend it is still fall. As Britni and Ryan start pulling their final wedding details together for their big day at The Hive. To celebrate we got together for a fun engagement session in their neighborhood. We spent the afternoon wandering around a few bl

Mistwood Golf Club Wedding // Chelsea + Jeremy
Chelsea and Jeremy met in college and turned their friendship into a love that will get them through anything. A kind of love that can change the world. A kind of love that's kinda like a super hero power... These two are incredible separately but even better together. Strong, confident, caring and some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I had some a lovely time capturing their special day. The family and friends they surrounded themselves with was very special. Chelse

Chicago Wedding Photography // Nicole + Andrew
Nicole and Andrew are such sweet, down to earth people. They met at Michigan State University but their love story didn't begin until they had both moved to Chicago for work. They reconnected as friends and quickly fell in love with Chicago and each other. Andrew even proposed to Nicole at a Cubs game. These two have an incredible network of friends and family that have supported them on their journey. Listening to all the toasts, interactions with friends, quick smiles a

Chicago Cultural Center Proposal // Mike + Liz
When an old friend calls you out of the blue to coordinate capturing his surprise proposal.... of course you accept. Open House weekend in Chicago allows free entry to some of the most breathe taking buildings in the city. Mike and Liz met up with me at The Chicago Cultural Center. Mike made up an elaborate story about how I wanted to come take photos with a new toy in the city, so it wasn't weird that we were hanging out and I brought some gear. As we wondered the Cultural

Chicago Firehouse Engagement Session
Chicago post snow storm isn't the easiest thing to navigate but somehow we managed a successful engagement session with Kelly and David. Kelly works for Chicago Heights Fire Department, David is a paramedic with the City of Chicago and both love beer, so we had some obvious themes for our session. We started the afternoon at one of the active and iconic fire houses in the city and was invited in for a quick warm up and shots with the fire engine. Next stop was Goose Island
