Pat and Katie have known each other since high school, and the longevity of their relationship shows in the way they laugh so easily together!! These two are the absolute real deal. We laughed all the way through their engagement session in downtown St. Charles, the place where they grew up! Alter Brewing was such […]

The Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook is such a stunning venue for a wedding! There are so many beautiful areas for photos, and the setting is truly breathtaking! Because of its gorgeous wooded setting, whenever I’m there, it almost feels like we’re somewhere in the mountains, a little hideaway right in the middle of the Chicago […]

Lisa and Bryant’s springtime Cantigny wedding was such a beautiful, picture-perfect day! What an honor it was to capture this wedding day for this wonderful couple! I first connected with Lisa through her sister Rachael, my dear friend and an incredibly talented wedding photographer, and Marty and I just love this family so much! These […]

This Wilder Mansion engagement session was truly a dream for me. I great up in Elmhurst and spent my childhood lugging books in and out of this iconic white building… because it used to be Elmhurst Public Library! And so, when Jessica told me she was looking for somewhere that was clean and classic, we […]

It feels like we’ve been photographing Ripki and Bryan for forever and ever… which is the BEST, because these two are incredible, lovely, wonderful people to be around! They have been on the biggest roller-coaster of a wedding journey, and it finally culminated this past Saturday with an incredible wedding reception at the gorgeous Chez […]

Mayslake Peabody Estate was the perfect location for Lisa and Bryant’s engagement session! Even though things aren’t quite blooming in the Chicago area, the estate grounds are so beautiful, and the sun was OUT and gorgeous for their entire session! Give me creamy light, filtering through pine trees, and I’m so stinkin’ happy! Besides that, […]

These two wonderful people have such a beautiful love story! Meghan and Tony are hilarious and kind, and they’ve known each other for years and years! I love all of their amazing interests and hobbies (including renovating and redesigning their beautiful home that was built in the 1800s!). Tony proposed in the middle of a […]

Alec and Alexa! There are a million things I love about these two, but their ability to be so positive and encouraging is absolutely amazing! WE LOVE THEM! For their engagement session, we played around with a few ideas before landing on Union Station in Chicago. WHAT. A. DREAM. (This is such a good option […]

Lauren and Jordan are MARRIED, and we couldn’t be happier for these two! Not only was this our last wedding of the winter, it was our first time photographing a wedding at the beautiful Auditorium Ballroom in LaSalle, Illinois! When I walked into the bridal suite this past Saturday, I was so impressed at the […]

This Cafe Brauer Chicago wedding was one for the books! You know what I love about Nicky and Ben? They’re obviously a beautiful couple, but they are also the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. These two tell it like it is, they wear their hearts on their sleeves, and they LOVE their friends and […]
