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.

I feel like Sara & Mike’s engagement session started a trend for my couples….. beginning their sessions at their favorite pub / tavern / brewery. For them, it was an awesome little placed called Beermiscuous in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood.

I'm always here to help my couples with deciding where to photograph their engagement sessions.  I have plenty of advice and insight about where to go in our beautiful city.  That said, I'm always interested to hear their ideas and see what they bring to the table. 

To date, this has to be one of the most unique engagement sessions I've photographed.  When I'm discussing engagement photo ideas with my clients, I always questions like: "What places have meaning for your relationship?" or "What do you both like to do together?"  Tam & Brendan didn't hesitate and asked "We like to sit on our couch and eat sushi together.

I've been meaning to feature these two stylish love-birds for sometime now.  Eileen & Lee truly brought their own unique personal aesthetic to the shoot, so creatively they were a joy to photograph.  To be honest, I need more motorcycles in my photos. 

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.

I truly had fun time photographing Shannon & Morgan's engagement session!  I first need to thank the good folks over at Revolution Brewing for allowing us to shoot in their taproom.
