Amy & David

[flo_one_half padding=”0px 30px 20px 20px” class=”” ] I love that no two couples have the same likes, memories, and inside jokes, and it makes my photographer heart happy when they bring those experiences into their wedding day. A little story from this day: Amy and David used to live right by River Roast, and would […]

Kelly & Bobby

[flo_one_half padding=”0px 30px 20px 20px” class=”” ]Just over a year ago, Kelly & Bobby had an incredible celebration at St. Mike’s Old Town and A New Leaf.[/flo_one_half] [flo_one_half_last padding=”0px 20px 20px 30px” class=”” ]With their stylish cigar and bourbon bar, and their packed dance floor, it was an amazing way to start off the season.

Anna & Patrick

[flo_one_half padding=”0px 30px 20px 20px” class=”” ] Anna & Patrick’s shindig from last summer was such a blast. Aside from their warm and welcoming personalities and families, the thing that I remember most from the day is the completely awesome dance floor. Not only was it packed all night (thanks Toast & Jam!), but special […]

Gerrie & Mike

[flo_one_half padding=”0px 30px 20px 20px” class=”” ] With the ceremony in Alice Millar Chapel at Northwestern University, and the reception at the historic Woman’s Club of Evanston, gorgeousness obviously abounded at Gerrie and Mike’s wedding. But, more than the locales, the traditions were my favorite part. Just a few that come to mind: I loved […]

Stephanie & Christopher

[flo_one_half padding=”0px 30px 20px 20px” class=”” ]It’s so hard to put into words the feeling of a wedding. It’s a 15-hour day that is full of a ton of people, countless emotions, and a convergence of different histories. If I were to try to explain Stephanie and Christopher’s wedding, I’m sure my words would not […]

Sarah & Matt

[flo_one_half padding=”0px 30px 20px 20px” class=”” ]With one of the most emotional and thoughtful gift exchanges I’ve ever witnessed, it was obvious how much Sarah and Matt understand each other. With their incredibly joyous first look, it was obvious that they love each to the moon and back. With their tearful and eloquent vows, it […]

Liz & Russ

[flo_one_half padding=”0px 30px 20px 20px” class=”” ] Sometimes, as a wedding photographer, you get lucky enough to be invited into a family. You are asked to shoot the weddings of several siblings, or reoccurring family portraits, and you are able to see the progression of what it means to be a family. It’s a remarkable […]

Gwen & Mike

[flo_one_half padding=”0px 30px 20px 20px” class=”” ] Sometimes I’m just amazed at how great it is to be a wedding photographer in Chicago. I spend every weekend in absolutely stunning locations, whether they are grand city hotels, vintage estates, or, in this case, an amazingly gorgeous vineyard. Yes, a vineyard, just an hour or so […]

Brooke & Dave

[flo_one_half padding=”0px 30px 20px 20px” class=”” ] I have a special spot in my heart for high school sweethearts like Brooke and Dave; there is nothing like the understanding, comfort, and history that comes from knowing each other during the tumultuous teenage years. That history is always a wonderful thing to photograph because it comes […]
