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 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.

Terry & Michael were honestly a dream to work with, and brought an amazing amount of personal vision and style to their wedding.  We met through an old college friend of mine (Go Illini), and had a great time getting to know each other.  I say it over and over, but having a personal connection with the client makes all the difference in the world.

I'm excited to share Carissa & Blake's wedding photos!  It was a beautiful day, and they were a ton of fun to work with.  The wedding ceremony was held at the historic Baker Memorial United Methodist Church in St. Charles, Illinois.  An absolutely gorgeous location in the bride's home town.

A sincere happy anniversary to these two wonderful people, Michelle & Charles!  Wanted to share some of my favorite images from their wedding at the Quadrangle Club, part of the University of Chicago (you can also check out their engagement photos here).

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.

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!  

Colette & Phil's wedding at the Bridgeport Art Center was absolutely fantastic!  They were amazing to work with and incredibly generous. I'm excited to share some of my favorites!  

It's had been a few years since I photographed here, but I'm truly grateful to Ruth & Dima for bringing me back to Independence Grove in Libertyville!  They hosted a beautiful Jewish wedding and threw one heck of a party.  Check out my favorites here!  

Jillian & Philip put together a stunning wedding at the University Club of Chicago.  I had a wonderful time documenting their day, and getting to work with Clementine Custom Events again.  Check out some of my favorites! 

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.
