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.

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.

To date, still one of my favorite weddings. The combination of classic style with a non-traditional format was perfect. Above all, the couple simply wanted everyone attending to have a blast with them.

Modern, stylish, and luxurious, Teddy and Ryan’s wedding is one for the books. I was lucky enough to meet Teddy and Ryan through Lindsey of Simply Elegant Group and I could instantly tell they were one amazing, powerhouse couple.

Photographing Kacie & Varun’s wedding was an absolute joy. Honestly they were one of my favorite couples to work with (click here to check out their engagement photos). Their wedding day blended both the classic and creative, and truly took us around the city.

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.

I’m so grateful for everyone who has reached out to me for outdoor family portrait sessions lately. Or as I like to call them…. Stoop Shoots! It’s been a wonderful mix of past clients, colleagues and friends.

I had a fantastic time capturing Laura and Victor’s colorful engagement session. Since then, I couldn’t wait for their summer wedding at Carnivale Chicago.

I met Bevin & Graeme through my old neighbors in Logan Square, whose wedding I also photographed. They are a fantastically unique, emotional and fun-loving couple. Their wedding day showcased their whimsical taste (check out those floral Doc Martens) and how inclusive they are as humans.

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.

Jennifer & Joe hosted a wonderful brunch wedding at the Cheney Mansion in Oak Park.  If you've never been, or are looking for a location for your wedding with a historic vintage feel, then the Cheney Mansion is absolutely worth checking out.
