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.

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.

I couldn't be happier for Colleen & Stuart.  They were simply amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process.  You can view their engagement images here.  Their ideal aesthetic was elegant and modern, and the Thompson Chicago in the Gold Coast was the perfect venue (also one of my favorite places to shoot).  Their day in particular was filled with both laughter and tears, as well as subtle moments and an epic dance party.   I sincerely wish them both the very best!

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.

On a sunny summer day in Chicago, I had the honor of photographing Anne and Eric's wedding. The day started at the couple's home in Ukrainian Village, where the bride was getting ready with her sisters. I love when couples start the day at home, as it allows me to involve their space in their wedding day story. Anne's family was so much fun to photograph, and the first look with her father was a particularly touching moment.

Chris and Chereesa’s Adler Planetarium Chicago wedding was filled with unconventional ideas, electrifying color, and so many unique moments.

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.
