    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.

    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

    A quick beer at Hampton Social to loosen up and away we went! Stephanie and John were up for a little adventure downtown on what should have been a great spring day. #chicagoweathersucks We made the best of it and gave John and extra excuse to snuggle Stephanie and her goosebumps. Lovin those smiles! Can't wait for the fall! #engaged #napervilleengagement #chicagoengagement #engagementphotography #engagement #napervilleweddingphotographer #chicagoweddingphotographer #weddi

    Naperville Engagement // Shauna + Kevin + Charlie

    Talk about a 3rd wheel.... Charlie couldn't be cuter!! He was my little helper -- collecting pine cones and directing Shauna and Kevin with huge sticks. We also made faces at the happy couple while they were being "mushy". Such a fun little adventure with this crew at The Springbrook Prairie Preserve in Naperville. So looking forward to their wedding Feb 2020! #engaged #napervilleengagement #engagementphotography #chicagoengagement #engagement #napervilleweddingphotographer

    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

    Envision all your fun, loud and hilarious Italian cousins meeting some charming, yet crazy Englishmen... You now have the perfect vision of what actually happened at Angela and Ciaran's Wedding. I had the pleasure of capturing all the good times, touching moments, wedding decor, British translations and of course the dancing. The feeling of family could not be denied amongst friends, relatives and guests. It reminded me a lot of my own wedding. Friends helping us. Friends o

    Naperville Riverwalk // Kathryn + Grant's Engagement

    Kathryn and Grant are so awesome. I am so excited that they picked me to be part of their wedding process. First off, they are super smart and hard working peeps, which I love. Second, Kathryn went to school really close to where I grew up in PA and she's an east coaster (so we bonded). Thirdly, Grant is just cool. Grant and Kathryn wanted a snow shoot -- boy did they get it + frigid temps! Total troopers. For our session, Kathryn we dead set on making us all some hot spik

    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
