What can I say about Carly and Paul? Their dreamy sunset beach engagement session was a reflection of everything they are as a couple: gorgeous, goofy, fun – and SUPER in love. We started our session near North Pond in Lincoln Park. Carly used to live nearby, so they took me on a mini-tour of […]

This spring I had the opportunity to visit Wisconsin for Alex & Cam’s Goodman Community Center wedding. These two had been planning their wedding for some time, and it came together beautifully! The Madison venue was the perfect location for their nuptials, and much of the decor was DIY. In fact, Alex folded hundreds of […]

Eliza and Patrick’s engagement session started in their neighborhood – particularly on their street! They love the greenery and summer vibe near their home (can you blame them?!), so we got to play and even had an impromptu dance party! These two were a ton of fun to hang out with!! We headed to Wicker […]

When Catherine and Steven had the idea for a Headquarters Beercade engagement session, I was more than excited. They wanted to incorporate their love of movies and video games into their session, and this was the perfect choice! Catherine is the senior editor of (my favorite) wedding blog Offbeat Bride, which showcases all kinds of […]

At the end of May, an incredibly talented group of wedding vendors came together at Warehouse 109 in Plainfield, Illinois. I had the idea for this shoot shortly after learning about the venue, which is now one of my favorites to shoot in! (I’d love to photograph a real wedding here one day – hint, […]

Kenley and Adam’s vow renewal ceremony this month was one of the most unique sessions I’ve ever photographed. And not just because it was my first vow renewal. On the foggiest day in June, ten years after their wedding day, we met at Clark Chapel in Hyde Park to celebrate their marriage. Adam and Kenley […]

Who doesn’t love a Chicago rooftop in the summertime?! I was so excited when Julia of Julia Simone Makeup asked me to be a part of this summer bridal fashion shoot. We started and ended on a River North rooftop, traveling to some fun urban scenes in between. (Ever seen a jaywalking bride? Keep scrolling!) […]

Melissa and Anand’s Museum Campus engagement session took place on one of our first true spring days. The weather had been cool and rainy all week, and then all of a sudden we got a gorgeous sunny day! There’s no doubt all of Chicago was itching to be outside, and we were no exception. We […]

Chris and Anne’s downtown Chicago elopement took place on the six year anniversary of the day they met. Anne’s sister officiated the ceremony, attended by immediate family only. It was important to them that their two dogs Coorah and Luka be a part of the day, from their first look to “standing” next to them […]

Sam and Eric’s spring Chicago engagement session was a fantastic way to start my season. The trees were just beginning to bud after our (extremely long/never-ending) winter, and daffodils were making their annual debut in Lincoln Park. Sam’s colorful spring dress was the perfect addition to our session – and as you can see, she […]

A few weeks ago I met with a handful of Chicago vendors for what turned into a super fun, super-chic bridal shoot at Great Central Brewing Company. If you don’t know this place, definitely check it out! The tap room is a gorgeous, naturally-lit space with exposed brick and taps from several Chicago-area breweries. And […]

A couple of weeks ago (just before that seasonably appropriate Midwestern snow storm) I traveled to Waupaca, Wisconsin for my first Rad Photographers Retreat. These few days were filled with education, friendship, delicious food (thank you, Sulten Belly!!), and a killer Wisconsin wedding styled shoot! Each day the schedule included guest speakers and relaxing activities like […]
