BEST OF 2018: A Year in Review
As 2018 comes to an end, I’ve made a point to go through all my wedding and engagement photos from the entire year. That’s right! Every. Single. One.

Melissa & Anand’s Room 1520 Wedding in Chicago
September has always been my biggest wedding month. This year, I got to start it off with Melissa & Anand’s Room 1520 wedding! Their awesome fusion wedding day included both Hindu and Catholic traditions. In fact, they had TWO ceremonies, two wardrobe changes, two sets of formal photos… and one giant CELEBRATION!! This was such […]
Wisconsin Love: Melanie & Brad’s Fall Door County Engagement Session
Looking back on Melanie & Brad’s Door County engagement session, I’d have to say it was one of Fall’s highlights. At the end of October, we traveled to Wisconsin’s peninsula for a sunrise session that could not have been more picture-perfect! It wasn’t easy, though – if you’re familiar with that part of the Midwest […]

Good Morning, Chicago! Natalie & Christy’s Downtown Engagement Session
On the last morning of September, I met Christy and Natalie at Olive Park for their downtown Chicago engagement session.

Stunning Industrial Loft Wedding at ARIA Minneapolis – Dana & Noah
This summer I had the opportunity to photograph Dana & Noah’s ARIA Minneapolis wedding, and it was an absolute dream. Having planned their entire wedding while living in London, they tied the knot only weeks after returning home to Minneapolis. These two were so excited to marry each other – and it showed! Dana and […]
Summer Chicago Engagement After Rain – Elissa & Tommy
Tommy and Elissa’s summer Chicago engagement session last month was a highlight of my summer! During a rainy-weather stretch when every other session was getting rescheduled, these two decided to embrace Mother Nature. I’m so happy they did! We met at their home with sweet pup Harlow, and were able to get a few photos […]
Tiki Themed Wedding at Begyle Brewing – Carla & Ben
Carla and Ben’s tropical-themed Begyle Brewing wedding was unique in so many ways. When we first met, they had a pretty clear vision of how they wanted the day to look and feel. After hearing about their unique ideas, I was all in! The countdown to wedding day had already begun 🙂 Carla’s words: “We […]
Surprise Millennium Park Proposal and Serenade – Gabriel & Sueyi
Gabriel’s epic Millennium Park surprise proposal was unlike any other proposal I have captured. When he first described his proposal ideas, so many thoughts ran through my head! How would it work? Would she suspect it? Would we have trouble bringing a karaoke machine into Millennium Park?? He seemed confident that it would all work […]
