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.

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!

As a Chicago wedding photographer, I have been privileged to document numerous love stories, each one unique and beautiful in its own way. However, Wes and David's wedding was truly a remarkable experience. From the moment I arrived at The LaSalle Chicago hotel to capture the grooms getting ready, I knew this day would be filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments!

Today, I want to share with you an incredible wedding that I had the privilege of photographing. Meet Priya and Jeff, a couple whose love and resilience really shone through on their special day, even when the weather seemed determined to get in the way.

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.

Chris and Chereesa’s Adler Planetarium Chicago wedding was filled with unconventional ideas, electrifying color, and so many unique moments.

I’m so appreciative of the heartfelt and genuine looks these two grooms were serving up on their wedding day. As a photographer, I’m always looking for THAT moment, a picture that captures the affection and emotion of the day… and I am proud of how many of those moments I was able to photograph for Chris & Mike.

Alev & Gil were simply wonderful to work with and photograph. They brought an easy going and overall fun attitude to their wedding day, and from start to finish they were full of smiles, laugher and love. It was truly amazing and an honor to witness their traditions, families and communities come together to celebrate!

The joy and vibrancy of this couple and family made photographing their wedding weekend a complete joy. Mahima and Nick’s wedding was so full of moments and memories, it would be impossible to show in only a few images. I’m always honored to tell the story of my couples and to create images to share with future generations. Highlighting the beauty of this couple, their families, and their Hindu wedding traditions and decor was the hired task…but the joy for me is in capturing the small moments in between.

I had an absolute blast working with Missy & Danny! They brought so much fun energy to their engagement session and wedding day that honestly they were easy to photograph. I also really appreciated their overall mindset on the day. They started from a place of love and authenticity, and simply wanted their family and friends to come together and celebrate. Everything outside of that was secondary.

Sonali & Prithvi's wedding has to be one of the most opulent and extravagant Indian weddings I have ever photographed.  Everything from the mehndi to the sangeet (click here for Part I) to the wedding itself was absolutely stunning.

Jenny & Marc were a true joy to photograph, and I’m so grateful to Emily Bollinger at The Simply Elegant group for connecting us! From getting ice cream during their engagement session, to an amazing party at City Winery, the couple was honestly a lot of fun to work with. You should check out their engagement photos here!
