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.

I had an absolute blast photographing Meghan & Chris’ winter wedding at Fourth Presbyterian and the Mid America Club. Such a classic Chicago wedding, filled with energy, emotion, and endless fun moments.

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!  

Working with Claire & Mike started off with one of the best small-world stories I have.  Claire was referred to me by the sister of a former bride (Sarah...you know who you are, and I cannot thank you enough).  In corresponding with her to setup a consultation, she tells me that her fiancé's name is actually Mike Traut....who I grew up next door to!  My family has since moved to Denver, but my folks and the Traut's do keep in touch.  Still, never in a million years did I think I'd be reconnecting with Mike and his family.

Oddly enough, Jowita & Robert's wedding at Nico Osteria inside the Thompson Chicago was the first New Year's Eve event I've photographed.  Jowita works in the wedding industry, and we first met at Thursday Therapy, a wedding networking event.  Both her and Robert are incredibly gracious and were a ton of fun to work with throughout the entire process.

My final wedding of 2015 could not have gone better.  Between their style and relaxed demeanor, Stephanie & Michael's approach to their wedding day really made it fun to photograph.  Our outdoor photo plans did get canceled due to the first snow storm of the season.  However, all that meant is we got to shoot inside the Art Institute instead!
