Chicago Wedding Photographer - Best of 2023
I want to take this opportunity to reflect on the past year and share some of my favorite images. Both 2021 and 2022 were full of big changes for myself and my family. I married my beautiful wife Claire in 2021, bought house in 2022, fixed up that house, then moved and welcomed our equally beautiful and amazing son Arthur into the world.
Gold Coast Thompson Chicago Wedding - Colleen & Stuart
I couldn't be happier for Colleen & Stuart. They were simply amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process. You can view their engagement images here. Their ideal aesthetic was elegant and modern, and the Thompson Chicago in the Gold Coast was the perfect venue (also one of my favorite places to shoot). Their day in particular was filled with both laughter and tears, as well as subtle moments and an epic dance party. I sincerely wish them both the very best!

Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool Engagement Session - Nicole and Chris
I had the pleasure of photographing Nicole and Chris' engagement session at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Chicago, and it was truly a joy to work with this amazing couple.

For Nicole and Chris, the Lily Pool was the perfect choice because of their love for hiking and spending time outdoors.
Wildman BT Chicago Wedding - Anne and Eric
On a sunny summer day in Chicago, I had the honor of photographing Anne and Eric's wedding. The day started at the couple's home in Ukrainian Village, where the bride was getting ready with her sisters. I love when couples start the day at home, as it allows me to involve their space in their wedding day story. Anne's family was so much fun to photograph, and the first look with her father was a particularly touching moment.
Bridgeport Art Center Chicago Wedding - Sam and Kirby

As a wedding photographer, capturing the special moments of a couple's big day is a huge responsibility, and I'm so grateful to have been a part of theirs.
