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.

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. As a photographer, I love when my clients choose locations that have special meaning to them. For Nicole and Chris, the Lily Pool was the perfect choice because of their love for hiking and spending time outdoors.

Photographing a wedding is always a unique experience, but when you have a couple as fun and easy-going as Sam & Kirby, it becomes even more enjoyable. 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.

Spring is a time of new beginnings, and what better way to celebrate that than with an engagement session! Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Jenny & David on Chicago's Museum Campus. The weather really turned in our favor, and it was a perfect warm sunny day.

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.

Adrienne & Kellen were absolutely wonderful to work with and photograph. They 100% planned their wedding during the pandemic, and I’m so grateful to Danielle with Ohana Events for connecting us. We of course first met over Zoom, but as we got to know one another I could tell we were a great match.

After a year so full of uncertainty and worry, I wanted to reflect on the work I was able to create, and the people who so graciously allowed me into their lives. I cannot express the gratitude I feel for the clients who stuck with me during a extremely difficult time in the wedding industry.

Looking forward to Caroline & EJ’s wedding tomorrow! I actually grew with up Caroline’s older sister Alison, so it’ll be great to see old friends. We went to come classic Chicago locations for their engagement session last year.

In the meantime, since we’re heading into September, I wanted to share their fall engagement photos from last year. I had a blast working with them then as I did in Montana. We started off near the Kinzie Street Bridge. The bridge itself has some really nice views down the Chicago River.

Maddie & Kris’ original wedding date was today. On one level it’s sad they weren’t able to celebrate with their family and friends this year. That said, they took an upbeat and humorous approach to this entire situation, and I’m excited to photograph their wedding in 2021!

Meagan & Nick’s wedding was absolutely stunning from beginning to end. First, you’ll have to check out their engagement photos. Between Molly’s Cupcakes, a picnic at Montrose Harbor, and sunset photos on the lake, they were so much fun to photograph.

I feel like Sara & Mike’s engagement session started a trend for my couples….. beginning their sessions at their favorite pub / tavern / brewery. For them, it was an awesome little placed called Beermiscuous in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood.
