Around this time last year, Katy and Justin began planning their surprise elopement. When I first heard from Katy, I knew we’d be a great fit! These two wanted something simple but fun for their wedding day, surrounded by their closest loved ones. I’m a sucker for non-traditional wedding choices, and eager to capture a […]

Catherine and Steven are some of the kindest, most wonderful people you will meet. Both of them so obviously head-over-heels for each other, they made my job a breeze! I’ll admit I had been eagerly anticipating this day since our quirky engagement session last summer (Skee-Ball and Bride of Chucky dolls?? Come ON!). Their intimate […]

Earlier this month, I was fortunate enough to spend an evening with Tiantian and John during their downtown Chicago engagement session. These two are as adorable as can be… and an absolutely stunning couple! Tiantian just so happens to be a professional model (surprised?? Me neither), and by the end of our session I was […]

It’s exciting any time I get to visit one of my couple’s homes (especially when they have fur babies!). This time was especially significant, since that’s where Alyssa & Larry got engaged! They wanted to celebrate their everyday lives together, so for their engagement session we spent the evening hanging out in their neighborhood. After […]

LeAnne & Jeff’s Friday the 13th wedding day was an absolute blast! When I first heard from LeAnne, I knew we were going to be a great fit. She described her and Jeff’s relationship with eloquence and detail – mentioning how he “had been shamelessly flirting” with her since they first met! She eventually agreed […]

Erica and Eric’s Lincoln Park engagement session took place on a beautiful evening earlier this month. We started outside of Cafe Brauer and made our way along the Nature Boardwalk down to the lake! These two often ride bikes through Lincoln Park, so we stopped at some familiar spots (and of course, the skyline!). We […]

Having a winter wedding in Chicago takes some courage. Weather is especially unpredictable, daylight is limited, and outdoor ceremony locations are off-limits. But for Elissa and Tommy, the decision was an easy one! Tommy proposed on Christmas morning, and they chose to relive that magic by tying the knot the following holiday season. Christmas Theme […]

Spring is in full swing! I had the pleasure of ringing in the season with Hannah and Chris during their urban Chicago engagement session last month. It was a gorgeous afternoon (we lucked out – the next day it snowed!), and these two are just adorable together! They even coordinated outfits in black and white. […]

Kathia and Todd. Where do I begin with these two?! Not only did I have the honor of photographing their intimate Metropolitan Brewery wedding – they’re also dear friends. In fact, some of you may recognize the handsome salt-and-pepper bearded officiant… Jeremy (MY other half) often tags along to weddings as my second photographer, but […]

Sam and Eric’s Chicago wedding at Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro took place down the street from their home. Friends and family traveled from all over to celebrate with them – and what a celebration it was! After their colorful spring engagement session I KNEW this was going to be a fun party 🙂 […]
