There’s something timeless about a Chicago sunset, and Alyssa and Jack’s engagement session at North Avenue Beach was the perfect example.

There’s something magical about summer weddings in Lake Geneva, and this one at the Grand Geneva ski chalet was no exception.

Some wedding days feel like they’re straight out of a dream, and Andrew and Nicole’s celebration at the stunning Armour House was exactly that. The warm summer sun bathed the historic venue in golden light, setting the perfect stage for a truly magical day.

Some couples just radiate joy, and Kristen and Jake are one of them. Their recent session at Lincoln Park Zoo’s South Pond and North Ave Beach was nothing short of magical.

Lauren and Grant’s wedding day began at the serene and beautiful St. Catherine of Alexandria Church, where the couple exchanged vows in an intimate and spiritual ceremony.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless beautiful moments, but some weddings just stand out, and Emily and Brett’s wedding weekend. I started by capturing their rehearsal dinner at Lavender Hill Farm. We even got to sneak away for a couple portraits featuring Emilys mothers wedding dress.

When you’re a wedding photographer, you learn to roll with the unexpected. And what could be more unexpected than rain on the big day? But, as I’ve come to realize, sometimes Mother Nature has a way of making things even more magical, and that’s exactly what happened at Brenna and Kenny’s wedding in June 2024.

There’s nothing quite like a perfect day at the beach, especially when you’re surrounded by the joy and love of a wonderful family. This recent shoot with the M family at Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve was exactly that—sunny skies, warm smiles, and the sound of waves gently rolling in.

This beautiful celebration of love took place in the heart of Chicago, beginning with a heartfelt ceremony at Assumption Church and culminating in a glamorous reception at the Trump Hotel.

In June of 2024, the charming, rustic beauty of The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms played host to the wedding of Josh and Jessica. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the couple celebrated the beginning of their lifelong journey together, and I had the honor of capturing every unforgettable moment.

On a stunning fall day in November 2023, Sarah and Tyler celebrated their love in a picturesque setting at the Cuneo Mansion in Vernon Hills. The venue, with its stunning architecture and lush gardens, provided a romantic backdrop that perfectly complemented the couple's vision for their special day.

Well, I may not have blogged in 3 years…. but one of my 2024 goals is to blog at least a few of my weddings this year! So why not start with Lauren & Grahams beautiful Florida wedding from this spring!

I think these images can speak for themselves. Jessica & Scott’s wedding day was perfect! I absolutely loved everything about shooting at Casa Feliz! Something about destination weddings are just so fun!!

I haven’t blogged in months! ( I feel like I always say this haha) but I was so excited to share these images from Taylor & Ryan’s winter wedding, better late than never!

Looking back at Caitlin & Kevin’s wedding day, I can’t stop thinking about how much fun we had. These two are seriously the sweetest people ever and will keep you laughing the whole time you are around them!

I couldn’t wait to share Patty & Alexs classic and timeless wedding on the blog!

Their wedding day started and ended with a lot of rain, but that didn’t stop them from having an amazing day and getting gorgeous photos!

I don’t know where to begin with how much I loved this wedding. I met Patryk & Jen in Chicago and our first meeting went so well I was going to be so sad if I didn’t get to work with them!

Since I’ve been terrible at keeping up with blog posts, I’m bunching all of my engagement sessions from this fall and winter! There are so many good ones in here, and I will be posting the rest of those fall and winter weddings soon too!

I love how the Museum Campus is the perfect backdrop for timeless photos. There are so many amazing spots there and it was made even better by Matt’s classic car!

Chelsey & Kyle couldn’t have picked a better venue for their beautiful fall wedding! I was so excited to be shooting at the Geneva National in Lake Geneva.

I’m craving the sunshine we had like at Laura & Jose’s engagement session! We had a sunrise shoot with their pup and it was so much fun.

I had been looking forward to Annie & Jordans wedding for so long! These two are actually best friends with my boyfriend, so it was even more fun for me :)

This was one of my first shoots at the Art Institute Gardens and it is definitely now a favorite!!

We may have struggled to find an open bathroom to do an outfit change in, but Karisma & Dominic’s engagement session was perfect other than that!

This was my first sunrise engagement shoot and even though I can’t say I’m a morning person, I would be a morning person for pictures like this!!

Jessica & Scott’s engagement session was complete with their sweet pup Eddie. All we needed to get him to look at the camera was some popcorn and I’d now consider him a dog model.

I had so much fun hitting up some of my favorite spots for engagement sessions with these two!

Cotton candy skies and pink sunsets create gorgeous engagement photos like this!

Now that it doesn’t look like this outside anymore… I’m ready to go back to this! Karen & Adam had a beautiful day for their engagement photos and I am so glad to finally show them off!
