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!

Oddly enough, Jowita & Robert's wedding at Nico Osteria inside the Thompson Chicago was the first New Year's Eve event I've photographed.  Jowita works in the wedding industry, and we first met at Thursday Therapy, a wedding networking event.  Both her and Robert are incredibly gracious and were a ton of fun to work with throughout the entire process.

Laura & Michael hosted an incredibly stylish and modern wedding at the Thompson Chicago in the Gold Coast neighborhood.  I always enjoy collaborating with clients who have a clear vision of their wedding day, while at the same time allowing room for my process, and for letting the day unfold naturally.  Weather-wise it can be a little risky planning a spring wedding in Chicago.  Although it was cold, the sun was out, which made for some great bridal party photos in Mariano Park.

There were many elements that made Laura & Chris' wedding day simply perfect.  First, they're the kind of people who have a wonderful way of blending class with playful goofiness.  It made them truly fun to photograph and simply be around.  We started the day off at the Thompson Chicago for their first look and initial portraits.
