The weather is finally getting warmer, and it was a ton of fun to get outside and photograph Jenny & Marc’s engagement session! It was the perfect blend of some classic Chicago locations, while also telling a part of their personal story. We started off in the Fulton Market neighborhood, which is a fantastic area for inspiring street art.

Back when the world was more open, I had a fantastic time photographing Alekya & Praveen’s engagement session. We started off at a classic location…the Chicago Riverwalk. I honestly have a great time photographing there.

Photographing Sarah & Chris’ engagement session was a blast. We started off outside their home in Wrigleyville to capture their love for the Cubs, and their pet family, affectionately called “the wolf pack.” I highly recommend included locations that has deep personal meaning to the couple.

Very much looking forward to photographing Jessica & Michael’s mini-wedding this weekend, so I wanted to share their engagement photos! I had an absolutely blast photographing their engagement session. We hit many of my favorites spots around Chicago. Kicked things off at the Art Institute of Chicago South Garden.

Jillian & Philip put together a stunning wedding at the University Club of Chicago.  I had a wonderful time documenting their day, and getting to work with Clementine Custom Events again.  Check out some of my favorites! 

Caroline & Michael’s big day is a wonderful example of a classic Chicago wedding, with a beautiful mix of modern and historical elements. Their ceremony was held at one of the most recognizable catholic churches in Chicago, Holy Name Cathedral.

Amy & Mike were wonderfully laid back, and even a little goofy in front of the camera.  Before their wedding later this year, they are spending large chunks of time apart (Mike is a chemist living in Canada, and Amy is a dance instructor here in Chicago).  So it seemed like they were making the most of their time together.  For their engagement session, Amy really wanted a classic Chicago feel.

Claudia & Erik were a referral from, and I kid you not, a bride from the first year I photographed weddings.  It was great to catch up with our mutual friend Jaclyn, and talk about how much has changed in 12 years.  To give some perspective, I shot her wedding in 2002 on all 35mm film.
