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.

Photographing a wedding is always a unique experience, but when you have a couple as fun and easy-going as Sam & Kirby, it becomes even more enjoyable. As a wedding photographer, capturing the special moments of a couple's big day is a huge responsibility, and I'm so grateful to have been a part of theirs.

An all-to-common story during the pandemic…..a couple planning to get married in 2020 is forced to reschedule their wedding (actually twice in this case). That said, Grace & Joe were gracious enough to have me photograph their small family-only ceremony, with their full party scheduled for later this year.

After having a great time with Sara and Mike with their engagement session, I knew their wedding was sure to be a fun one. Needless to say, it was! With stunning views and lots of greenery, The Mountain Top Ski Resort was the perfect location for their celebration.

Their wedding was held at one of the more unique venues I’ve photographed…. The Glessner House. It’s an historic gilded era mansion in the South Loop.

Meagan & Nick’s wedding was absolutely stunning from beginning to end. First, you’ll have to check out their engagement photos. Between Molly’s Cupcakes, a picnic at Montrose Harbor, and sunset photos on the lake, they were so much fun to photograph.

Carol & Elliot’s wedding was simply a picture perfect fall event at Independence Grove in Libertyville. If you’ve never been, make a trip on a warm Chicago day. Between the lake, walking paths and boats, it is honestly a gorgeous place to spend some time outside.

I got to travel a few times in 2018, but this trip to Austin, Texas for Eileen & Lee’s wedding tops the list. Full of laughter, style and emotion. After having a few fun days in Austin, we headed to Montesino Ranch, about an hour outside the city.

I had an absolute blast photographing Meghan & Chris’ winter wedding at Fourth Presbyterian and the Mid America Club. Such a classic Chicago wedding, filled with energy, emotion, and endless fun moments.

How Courtney & Sean came to find and hire me is one of my favorite stories of 2017.  Initially they contacted me to photograph only their engagement session, since they were getting married out of town and were still deciding on the venue.  On the day of the shoot we had a fantastic time getting to know one another, and creating images around Lincoln Park.
