Tam and Brandon’s wedding day was full of color, creativity, laughter and love. Their summer wedding took place at Carnivale Chicago, which is filled to the brim with vibrant South American decor, and paired perfectly with the energy of the day.

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.

Moriah and Zach's wedding at Artifact Events in Chicago was a beautiful celebration filled with love, laughter, and adventure. I was honored to be a part of this wedding in particular, since I’ve photographed other weddings in the bride’s family in years past.

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.

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.

It was a tough year for many of my clients, but I have to say Jessica & Michael rolled with the punches with style, humor and grace. Having to downsize and reschedule their wedding, the couple opted to move the ceremony and reception to the backyard of their new home.

In short….I had an absolute blast photographing Candice & Jason’s trash-the-dress session! It took place the day after the wedding at a location you only see in travel magazines…. Fakistra Beach. A small secluded beach surrounded by high cliffs and pristine ocean blue water, it made for the perfect backdrop.

Lately I’ve been reviewing photos from Candice & Jason’s wedding, and it’s making me miss international travel. Once we’re past the pandemic, I can’t wait to jump on a plane and go somewhere new.

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.

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.
