Chloe and Kevin’s journey to their wedding day started with a breathtaking proposal on the shores of Lake Michigan back in late 2019. They chose their June 2021 wedding date before the chaos of 2020 happened, and like thousands of other couples, dealt with the craziness of planning a wedding with the world turned upside-down. […]

Monika and John are wonderful, hilarious, SMART people, and so much fun to hang out with! I loved walking around Chicago with these two on a gorgeous afternoon last week, chatting about their favorite places in the city and their upcoming September wedding! We took some portraits on the balcony of their apartment building — […]

Calvin and Rachel’s wedding day was beautiful from beginning to end! There were so many wonderful, incredible details and memories that happened, but my very favorite thing about their day was simply seeing the two of them together, absolutely DELIGHTED to be finally married! The joy on their faces is absolutely beautiful. As I edited […]

Do I sound like a broken record when I say that I love every single one of my couples?! Probably… but it’s true! I have the best clients in the world, and Chris and Nora are the perfect example of this! I love these two, their chemistry, their sweetness, their kindness. They love being outside […]

Anna and Ben’s beautiful morning wedding was dear to my heart. There were so many lovely, wonderful things about their wedding day. It was relaxed and joyful and simply beautiful. Ben is a jazz musician, and they had a jazz duo play at their reception (delightful). After their sweet ceremony, they invited their guests to […]

If you’re planning a wedding, you’ve definitely seen them: the beautifully styled images of earrings, flowers, shoes, invitations, and rings that are included in the highlights of nearly everyone’s wedding galleries. These sometimes-tiny but absolutely significant details are some of my favorite things to capture on a wedding day — heirloom pearls handed down from […]

When I first met with Lauren and Steven last November to talk about their dreams for their wedding day, they mentioned a big giant reception with 300+ guests — everyone near and dear to them! These two love and prioritize their family and friends (hello 20-person wedding party!!!), and they had planned for a day […]

I’ve been waiting to share this portrait session for awhile now… and YES, you’re definitely not looking at images from Chicago!!! Alison and Peter live abroad but have close ties to Washington DC, and months ago Alison booked me for their November wedding at a beautiful venue just outside the DC area in Virginia. We […]

One of my favorite things to do in summertime Chicago is walk through the streets, just enjoying this beautiful city! We love Grant Park, the art museum, State Street, the Chicago Riverwalk — all the highlights — but we also love the hidden gardens and pretty parks scattered everywhere. And so this past weekend, when […]

Sarah and Jeff started their wedding day at the beautiful and historic Deerpath Inn, moved on to their ceremony at Christ Church of Lake Forest, continued on to wedding portraits at the lovely Elawa Farm, and ended the evening with a stunning tented reception, surrounded by their closest family and friends.
