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

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

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.

To celebrate we got together for a fun engagement session in their neighborhood. We spent the afternoon wandering around a few bl

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

I cannot even explain how much I adore Lauren and Matt's taste in pretty much EVERYTHING!! Both are artists and magical little unicorn of human beings. I felt extremely honored they picked me to document their wedding. #lifegoals We started the day at The Publishing House Bed and Breakfast. If I could move into this place and live there permanently, I totally would. Hair, Make-up and little champagne with the girls while shooting some of Lauren's incredible bridal details.

I remember meeting with Alexis to talk about her wedding on a cold February night at a Starbucks downtown and then suddenly it was August and I was getting the groom into position for his first look with this bride. I had a quick intimate portrait session with the Alexis and Sam after the first look just before the ceremony. There's always something cute and memorable about each couples' ceremony. This one included lots of laughs especially when Sam's ring refused to go on h
