Hye Young and Sung Ho’s wedding was so much fun to photograph. The April weather was all over the place and it rained, snowed and was completely sunny throughout the day. Luckily we had made an indoor plan and started at the Chicago Botanic Garden for some indoor portraits. 

Julianne and Billy’s Humboldt Park engagement session was full of fall colors and was a whole lot of fun! The two were recommended to me by brides Liz and Lauren and it’s always so nice to be referred by great clients as they already know and love your photography style.

Fall is my favorite season and I love the look and feel of engagement sessions during this time. Megan and Paul really wanted to capture some of the fall colors and we decided on a Caldwell Lily Pond engagement session.

I hadn’t worked at the space before so I was looking forward to Ashley and Patrick’s Ovation Chicago wedding. It’s a beautiful place with dark wood, brick and large windows. I love the Fulton Market area and often go there for engagement sessions.

I had such a wonderful time with Dana and Patrick on their engagement session so I knew their Spiaggia wedding would be a blast! They both have a great sense of humor and a love for photography which made it really fun to find and create some great moments and portraits for the two of […]

I was so excited for Katy and Steve’s Chicago Botanic Garden wedding. I had only been to the venue once before and loved the space and all of the beautiful areas in the gardens.

Ali and Antonio’s Garfield Park Conservatory wedding was truly a reflection of their personalities and love for one another. The event really showcased their interests, including a deep love for music and literature. It was an incredibly hot day which made it a bit of a challenge but everyone was in high sprits and we were able […]

Sitting down to chat with Care and Rick for the first time was incredibly fun. They met in the Peace Corps, were dating long distance ever since and had lots of fantastic travel stories. I was excited for their Ravenswood Event Center wedding since I had been there several times before yet never for a wedding.

Vanessa and Owen’s Kitchen Chicago wedding was such a treat to photograph. They are both travelers, Vanessa planned her wedding while doing a teaching/research position at a university in Japan, and they incorporated their love of maps and trinkets from their adventures into many of the details of their day. 

When working with couples for their engagement sessions, I try to find a place that has some extra meaning to them. We had discussed several options for Charlene and Chris’s shoot but decided on doing a Ping Tom Park engagement session since that’s where Chris proposed.
