    Jenny + Andrew's Wedding // Warehouse 109, Plainfield IL

    You can always get a feel of how the day is going to go when you walk into the bridal suite. Jenny's crew was finishing up their hair and makeup while listening to good tunes and sipping on champagne. That about sums up the day. Relaxed, beautiful weather, great people, libations and fantastic music. I had the pleasure of spending time with these two fabulous people in February for their engagement session in downtown Naperville where we bonded over smoking meats, whiskey a

    Cantigny Park, Wheaton Engagement // Krystal + Lukas

    I swear. This May has been tricky! Rain, Rain and oh yea, MORE Rain! Krystal and Lukas were nice enough to flex their shoot schedule with me from a Saturday evening to an early start Sunday morning of Mother's Day. I'd say it worked out well. She's a runner and he's her biggest cheerleader.... among many other things. Together they are adorable! I am so looking forward to their wedding May 2020 at Ashley Farm! Check out their 7am engagement session at the beautiful Cantigny

    Portage Park // Angie + Gil's Wedding

    As Gil states it, Angie stalked him until he asked her to marry him. These two made me laugh so much all wedding long. Gil with his stoic stature and Angie with her BURSTING personality, fantastic smile and laugh. I guess you could say they perfectly even each other out. The only point of contention I could see if that he's a die hard Cubs fan and she was raised a Sox fan, Somehow it works haha. They had a short and sweet ceremony with lots of tears and laughs, family photos

    Midlane Country Club Wedding // Megan + Dan

    It is always special to be able to work with your clients early on in their wedding adventure. I had the pleasure playing and planning with Megan and Dan for almost a year. By the time the big day rolled around, we were in sync and ready to have some fun. Megan and Dan's wedding day was extraordinarily hot for late September and those mosquitos were looking to go out of season with full bellies! I honestly don't remember their portraits. I mean. I know they turned out great

    Two Brothers Roundhouse Wedding // Sarah + Bridget

    Ahhh Sarah and Bridget. Let me just tell you... these two clean up well! HAHA. All of my meetings with these two ladies have been going to or coming from Rugby. The usual sportswear attire, a few fresh bruises here or there, but ALWAYS a smile. The three of us bonded over beers, travel and the love of photography. I was so excited to cover their big day and meeting the family. Little did I know there were several "hand models" related to the ladies that were constantly sh

    Hyatt Lodge at McDonald's Campus Wedding //Jocelyn + Kody

    Jocelyn and Kody's love story started in 2011 in passing. Your average college party, drinks, laughs and nothing serious. The story picks back up in 2014. Boy sees girl - a vision in a yellow sundress with an infectious smile. From there, their friendship began to grow. Lots of time together. Talking, laughing and falling in love. Their first date was at Starve Rock, which was a precursor to the proposal, their engagement session location and ultimately wedding venue. T

    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

    Itasca Wedding // Ann + Yogen - A Wedding Experience Like No Other!

    Ann and Yogen were planning their blended wedding event from Ohio with the help of family and friends. Ann and I hit it off over the phone right away. We had a good laugh about neither of us participating in and Indian Wedding before and we were both learning. Luckily (mostly for Ann) we had a great teacher in Yogen, who shared all the details and nuances that were important to his family. I had all hands on deck for the big celebration.

    Ashley Farm Wedding // Samantha + Jeremy

    It was another scorching summer day with tropical humidity for Samantha and Justin's wedding day. The hottest new wedding accessory for 2018 is SWEAT! haha. Or "that special wedding glow". Who needs highlighter?! I am seriously considering taking up residence at Ashley Farm.... the fabulous barn and farmhouse venue that the couple chose for their wedding venue. This wasn't the first time Samantha and Jeremy got married... in fact, it was their third! Commitment! A small c

    Naperville Wedding // Amanda + Justin

    I met Justin and Amanda over coffee to talk about all their wedding plans. A small and simple wedding at Meson Sabika with close family and friends from all over (Michigan, Ohio, Ireland and local). Aside from the crazy heat and humidity that day, it was just that. I met the bride in the early afternoon for some detail photos and her getting into the dress. followed shortly after the with first look and a few portraits with the two of them and family. With sweat dripping off

    Emerson Creek Wedding // Aimee + Dave

    I am writing this blog with a glass of whiskey on ice to honor the marriage of two fantastic people. I met Aimee and Dave in December of last year. Honestly, after our second meeting (their engagement session), I felt like I was part of the family. They are both so warm, fun and welcoming. We bonded over drinks, football and pretty things. Aimee could not wait to marry Dave and Dave would glow whenever Aimee sent a smile his way. It was more than adorable. Their wedding

    West Loop Chicago // Lauren + Matt Wedding

    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.

    West Loop, Chicago // Christy and Ed Rock their Wedding in Style

    Christy and Ed are one of those couples that are just a joy to be around. I was lucky enough to shoot both their engagement photos and the wedding. Needless to say, we had a blast at both! They are young professionals that are extremely supportive and loving with of each other and all those around them. They love to have fun. Easy going. Creative. And just awesome! Wedding prep was quite a bustle. Both the ladies and the guys were getting ready at Christy and Ed's apartment

    River North Chicago // Alexis + Sam's Wedding

    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
