Some weddings just radiate joy—and Cody & Matt’s fall celebration at Loft Lucia was exactly that. Stylish, intimate, and packed with emotion and laughter, this wedding was one for the books.

I’m still smiling thinking back to Kayla and Phillip’s wedding day this past fall. These two are such a fun, easy-going couple, and their wedding was the perfect reflection of their personalities—boisterous, heartfelt, and full of surprises. I’ve photographed plenty of weddings at the Harold Washington Library over the years, but this one stands out for so many reasons. It was one of those days that made me grateful all over again for what I get to do.

Emily and Connor’s spring wedding at Café Brauer in Chicago was an unforgettable celebration filled with love, laughter, and stunning cityscapes. From an emotional first look to a high-energy reception, their day was the perfect blend of elegance and fun.

Lesley and Andrew’s wedding at the Field Museum was an unforgettable celebration filled with elegance, love, and high-energy moments. The grandeur of this iconic Chicago venue, paired with the couple’s sweet and fun-loving personalities, made for a truly magical day.

Moriah and Zach's wedding at Artifact Events in Chicago was a beautiful celebration filled with love, laughter, and adventure. I was honored to be a part of this wedding in particular, since I’ve photographed other weddings in the bride’s family in years past.

Chicago’s historic architecture, soft winter light, and a nearly empty cityscape made for a perfect engagement session with Maddie and Sam. While many couples dream of a warm-weather shoot, winter engagement sessions have a charm of their own—especially when you’re drawn to the classic beauty of downtown Chicago.

I want to take this opportunity to reflect on the past year and share some of my favorite images. Both 2021 and 2022 were full of big changes for myself and my family. I married my beautiful wife Claire in 2021, bought house in 2022, fixed up that house, then moved and welcomed our equally beautiful and amazing son Arthur into the world.

As a Chicago wedding photographer, I have been privileged to document numerous love stories, each one unique and beautiful in its own way. However, Wes and David's wedding was truly a remarkable experience. From the moment I arrived at The LaSalle Chicago hotel to capture the grooms getting ready, I knew this day would be filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments!

Today, I want to share with you an incredible wedding that I had the privilege of photographing. Meet Priya and Jeff, a couple whose love and resilience really shone through on their special day, even when the weather seemed determined to get in the way.

I had the pleasure of photographing Nicole and Chris' engagement session at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Chicago, and it was truly a joy to work with this amazing couple. As a photographer, I love when my clients choose locations that have special meaning to them. For Nicole and Chris, the Lily Pool was the perfect choice because of their love for hiking and spending time outdoors.

Spring is a time of new beginnings, and what better way to celebrate that than with an engagement session! Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Jenny & David on Chicago's Museum Campus. The weather really turned in our favor, and it was a perfect warm sunny day.

I’m so appreciative of the heartfelt and genuine looks these two grooms were serving up on their wedding day. As a photographer, I’m always looking for THAT moment, a picture that captures the affection and emotion of the day… and I am proud of how many of those moments I was able to photograph for Chris & Mike.
