Summer is here! I was so happy when Sunny and Mike suggested an urban setting for their engagement session and I love the industrial look of the West Loop. We decided to shoot at sunset so we had incredible warm light. Once everyone got comfortable in front of the camera, we had a great time […]

Amy and Joe’s wedding was such a great way to kick off my 2014 wedding season! I had a blast with them on their engagement session and I knew their wedding would be just as fun. Neither of them are very camera shy and we had plenty of time to go around the city making […]

Both are new to Chicago and after a year of waiting for her visa, Helen arrived just a few days before the wedding! It was obvious from the minute […]

I don’t normally break engagement sessions up in two groups, but Kimberly and Bensen’s was so unique I couldn’t resist! We started off a little before sunset at 63rd Street Beach and walked around the lakefront. It’s rare that couples are so comfortable in front of the camera (especially so early in the morning!) but […]
