Valentine’s Day Engagement in Wicker Park – Mahala & Marla

Last month I was lucky enough to meet up with Mahala and Marla for their Valentine’s Day engagement session in Chicago! Because we all live in different parts of the country, this was the first time I’d met either of them in person. Wouldn’t you know: they are adorable as can be! We had a […]

Amanda and Jon’s Destihl Brewery wedding last summer was one I’ll never forget! As fellow beer nerds AND cat lovers, we got along right off the bat. Remember their snowy winter engagement session??

Stylish Fall Wedding at Warehouse 109 – Brittany & Dan

Brittany and Dan’s Warehouse 109 wedding last fall was a big, lively, family affair. These two met while working in the hospitality industry, and Brittany’s background in event planning made the pre-wedding process a breeze!

Winter Engagement Session at Garfield Park Conservatory – Victoria & Sam

No two Chicago home engagement sessions will ever look the same, which is precisely why I love them so much! I often recommend starting a session at home, especially in the winter months (and if you have pets!). For Victoria and Sam, we concluded our session at their home after catching the morning light at […]

Colorful Indian Fusion Wedding in Humboldt Park – Amrita & Patrick

To say Humboldt Park is in my backyard is… not an exaggeration at all! You can find me there on a weekly basis either running, bicycling, or chasing alligators (what’s up, Chance?). So, when Amrita and Patrick told me about their Indian fusion wedding in the park, my head filled with ideas! Because they had […]

Romantic Chicago Winter Engagement Session – Sausha & Jose

Sausha and Jose’s Chicago winter engagement session was a long time coming. I first heard from these two last fall after Amanda & Jon’s snowy engagement session (fun fact: Sausha and Jon are former schoolmates!), saying that was EXACTLY what they had in mind for their own engagement photos! Because Jose and Sausha will tie […]

Happy 2020, friends!!
