My final wedding of 2018 could not have been with a better couple. Kate & Kris were simply a joy to work with, from the engagement session to their wedding.

Carol & Elliot’s wedding was simply a picture perfect fall event at Independence Grove in Libertyville. If you’ve never been, make a trip on a warm Chicago day. Between the lake, walking paths and boats, it is honestly a gorgeous place to spend some time outside.

Kim & Chad are truly a fun-loving couple, with a natural chemistry.  The Morton Arboretum was a perfect backdrop for their engagement session, and I'm truly looking forward to their wedding coming up in August!

I thoroughly enjoyed photographing Bridget & Steven's wedding at the Museum of Contemporary Art!  It was truly a fantastic winter wedding in Chicago.  From the gorgeous ceremony at St. James Chapel, to a twenty-foot sculpture of a cat skeleton at the MCA, this wedding had an incredible range of unique elements.  The couple also had a great mindset; have fun with their wedding party, and give their guests an amazing experience in the city.  I cannot thank them enough for allowing me to be a part of it!  

I always find it to be an exciting opportunity when a couple is up for a winter engagement session.  Lawrence & Katie Joy contacted me only days after their official engagement, while the snow from a recent storm was still pristine.  A snowy environment truly makes for a gorgeous backdrop.  These images were created near her childhood home next to the Billy Caldwell Forest Preserve.  It may not look like it, but this location is actually in the City of Chicago.  I had an outstanding time running around in the snow, photographing them within this unique slice of green space.  Thank you again to the couple for braving the elements!

Laura & Michael hosted an incredibly stylish and modern wedding at the Thompson Chicago in the Gold Coast neighborhood.  I always enjoy collaborating with clients who have a clear vision of their wedding day, while at the same time allowing room for my process, and for letting the day unfold naturally.  Weather-wise it can be a little risky planning a spring wedding in Chicago.  Although it was cold, the sun was out, which made for some great bridal party photos in Mariano Park.

Evie & Ameer could not have asked for a better day in May for their wedding.  The weather, the light, the locations….everything was absolutely incredible.  We started off with photos of the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready.  They were truly a fun group to photograph.  From there we headed directly to the Harold Washington Library.  The ceremony took place in the Winter Garden on the top floor, one of my personal favorite wedding venues in the city.

This spring was an incredibly tough season to photograph Evie & Ameer's engagement session.  I think we rescheduled at least three times due to either the wind, rain or cold.  That said, with just under two weeks until their wedding, we found a beautiful day in May.
