Elegant Backyard Naperville Wedding Naperville Wedding Photographer After having to replan their wedding three times, Kristine and Topher traded their downtown Chicago wedding plans for a backyard garden party at their recently purchased Naperville home. Trust me, when you take a look at this tent, you won’t believe this was their backyard! Through the ups […]

This Chicago Cultural Center wedding is a forever favorite! On the most beautiful Chicago day, Lexie and Alex had their dream wedding. The black tie affair featured iconic Chicago architecture, fluffy white florals, an abundance of candlelight, live music, a cannoli cake, and even their pup, Hailey (adorned in a flower girl dress, of course). […]

Cafe Brauer is where wedding dreams come true. I’ve had the pleasure of working at Cafe Brauer four times in 2016, and you better believe I’ll be back in 2017! The space is filled with charm and character that you can’t find anywhere else. I had the pleasure of meeting Annie and Ryan earlier this year and literally jumped for joy when they hired me to be their wedding photographer. These two are the sweetest couple I have ever met.

I’ve been dying…DYING… to share more from Jamie and Sam’s wedding day. What an unimaginably perfect, heart happy, love-filled, confetti flying, candlelit, one-of-a-kind wedding to end the 2018 season.

Saturday’s wedding traded in the bright pops of color and modern setting from Friday for classic, candlelit elegance at the iconic Chicago Cultural Center. Both […]

Keely and Ryan planned on getting married June 6, and so they did. Surrounded by 8 guests, the couple wed at the bride’s family home with Fox Lake as their backdrop. This beautiful little wedding made my heart so happy. Thank you to Keely, Ryan and their families for letting me be a part of […]

Chicago History Museum & il Porcellino Chicago, IL Just as quickly as my 2019 wedding season ended, my 2020 season began. This wedding was unique and untraditional, yet so timeless and romantic. The wedding ceremony was held at the beautiful Chicago History Museum. Following the ceremony, guests grabbed blankets and hand warmers for a grand […]

A Wedding at Garfield Park Conservatory Chicago, IL On November 30, I photographed my last wedding of 2019 and then boarded a plane to Arizona a few hours later to celebrate the end of an amazing season. I’ve been dying to share Blair and Matt’s emotionally charged celebration. Blair was a vision in her mother’s […]
