Amanda and Jon’s snowy, romantic UIC engagement session was no accident. The day we first met, they described their vision for nighttime engagement photos on campus in the snow! As you might guess, this took lots of weather-watching, coordination, and a couple last-minute reschedules. But to our luck: one February evening, we finally made it […]

Carly and Paul’s September Halim Museum wedding was a unique and romantic evening. After their dreamy summer engagement session, I could not wait to photograph these two on their wedding day! Talk about L-O-V-E, Carly and Paul just radiate when they’re together 🙂 Paul proposed in January of last year, and – get this – […]

Six months ago, Risa and Kohei traveled all the way from Japan for their Chicago destination pre-wedding photos. Kohei’s brother lives in the area, so they decided to tie in a family visit as well! This was their first time in our city, and as you’ll see: we had a blast!! Perfectly coordinated, they arrived […]

I cannot express enough wonderful things about Natalie and Ana’s Chicago loft wedding at Concord Fifty-Five in August. From our first meeting, I knew we’d be a perfect fit! These two love to travel, and they planned to wed exactly one year after the date Ana proposed in Central Park. Every detail was purposeful, from the […]

Lucas and Lizzie’s Joinery Chicago wedding was a cozy, intimate event surrounded by their dearest loved ones. When these two first told me about their wedding plans, they envisioned something casual, laid-back and fun that reflects their personalities. Of course, The Joinery was the perfect space for that! One of my favorite facts is that […]

My final post from The Real Workshop excursion this month features a styled shoot at Utah wedding venue The 5th Floor. This was such a cool space to work in, right downtown Ogden. It’s also where the education portion of the workshop took place! Shout out to Haley Nord and Emily of The Hatches Photo […]

For my next post from The Real Workshop: Christie and Brandon’s sunrise engagement session at the Bonneville Salt Flats! Utah is one incredible state, I must say. You’ve got desert, mountains, and some of the most incredible natural phenomenons I’ve ever seen in person. I’d only ever driven through the salt flats in summertime… they […]

I began my year in photography by taking a red-eye flight to Salt Lake City, Utah for The Real Workshop excursion. I’ve made it my new goal to try one new workshop a year, so here we go, 2019! Basically, I got off the plane, slept a few hours, and then jumped straight into fun […]

It’s almost mid-January, but I’m sure I’m not alone hanging on to those warm and fuzzy holiday vibes! Ashley & Scott’s December engagement session started at Garfield Park Conservatory, and the holiday show was “Tickled Pink.” We met shortly after they opened and got to explore some of my favorite spots… and a few new […]

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. Which means: if I photographed your wedding or engagement session in 2018 (or both!), you’re in here!! I’ll be honest, it was tough to choose my favorites, […]
