On the last morning of September, I met Christy and Natalie at Olive Park for their downtown Chicago engagement session. New Chicago residents (they just moved from Memphis earlier this year), the skyline was a must for photos! These two were full of excitement, laughter and love – everything I adore about engagement sessions. We […]

Jen and Pete’s Chicago Riverwalk engagement session was a ton of fun! We began at the Lurie Garden on a lovely summer evening. The three of us were on foot and eager to explore! We hung out on the Riverwalk, made an appearance at the Island Party Hut, and then headed to DuSable Harbor. This […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

September is in full swing, and it seems like yesterday we were enjoying those summer days. Thought I’d reminisce a little with Patricia and Tony’s romantic summer engagement session! The theme for this session might as well have been “Summer Love” – I mean, these two are just adorable together (see below!). Spending the afternoon […]

Lynn and Marker’s June Ivy Room Chicago wedding was fashionable, elegant, and overflowing with happy tears. These two were together for a decade before tying the knot, and their wedding was an all-around celebration! The entire day included unique personal touches. For instance, they exchanged heartfelt gifts before the ceremony (note Lynn’s bridal sneakers). Additionally, […]

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 […]
