Back when the world was more open, I had a fantastic time photographing Alekya & Praveen’s engagement session. We started off at a classic location…the Chicago Riverwalk. I honestly have a great time photographing there.

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed photographing Bridget & Steven's wedding at the Museum of Contemporary Art!  It was truly a fantastic winter wedding in Chicago.  From the gorgeous ceremony at St. James Chapel, to a twenty-foot sculpture of a cat skeleton at the MCA, this wedding had an incredible range of unique elements.  The couple also had a great mindset; have fun with their wedding party, and give their guests an amazing experience in the city.  I cannot thank them enough for allowing me to be a part of it!  

I had an absolutely amazing time with Colleen & Stuart on their engagement session!  We started at Travelle inside The Langham Chicago, which is an incredibly stylish space.  Even more stylish were their outfits.  In a round about way, I'll say the shoot was sponsored by Trunk Club (friend of the bride works there).   They started off by sharing a cocktail, which honestly is a great way to begin a session.  We then met up with their pup near the State Street Bridge for photos along the riverwalk.  As the sun went down, we finished with some dusk portraits on their building's rooftop, which has breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline.  It was simply a great evening shooting with them, and I'm looking forward to the wedding!

I had an amazing time getting to know and working with Ashley & Taylor.  The entire bridal party brought their A-game when it came to the photos!  Photographing them on the Lincoln Park Zoo carousel is one of the most fun times I've had shooting to date.  Their wedding at Cafe Brauer was simply stunning, and I cannot thank them enough for letting me be a part of it!

Working with Claire & Mike started off with one of the best small-world stories I have.  Claire was referred to me by the sister of a former bride (Sarah...you know who you are, and I cannot thank you enough).  In corresponding with her to setup a consultation, she tells me that her fiancé's name is actually Mike Traut....who I grew up next door to!  My family has since moved to Denver, but my folks and the Traut's do keep in touch.  Still, never in a million years did I think I'd be reconnecting with Mike and his family.
