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. 

Conor and Ian’s Chez Chicago wedding was one of my favorites from 2015. After getting to know them both and spending some time with them for their home engagement session, I knew it would be hard to hold back the laughter during their day.

Lorena and Blake live in Texas but decided to travel closer to their family and friends for their Wisconsin backyard wedding. They chose to have the event at a family home which made for an intimate day with close family, friends and loved ones. Everything took place at the house so the day was seamless from […]

Katherine Legge Memorial Lodge and park is a beautiful venue in Hinsdale, IL and I was really excited to spend the entire day there with Aly and Andy for their wedding. I had such a blast with them on their engagement session so I knew it would be a fun-filled day. The couple met in high […]

Dallas and Joe’s Hideout Chicago wedding was a dream to photograph. If you haven’t been to The Hideout, it’s a small, tucked away space nestled in an industrial park between the Chicago River and the highway. Normally the space hosts live music, comedy and concerts so I knew photographing a wedding there would be a […]

I have shot a few courthouse weddings before and I always love the immediacy and energy that goes along with the day. Mary and Tom hired me to take some wedding portraits of the two of them before they headed to the Chicago Cultural Center for their ceremony with a few family members. We decided […]
