I photographed Kaitlyn and Justin’s wedding a couple of weeks ago on a lovely October fall Saturday. I absolutely adore that the first thing we did was take some photos with their adorable puppy Sloane. She was really camera shy and I did my very best to be calm with her and was happy to get a few good ones. Their ceremony was held at the Buffalo Creek Brewery in Long Grove, IL so we took advantage of the beautiful fall scenery for portraits in the area including the Parker Coffin Bridge and the pumpkins set up for the fall fest going on downtown. It was an honor and privilege to photograph their marriage and to be a part of their day. Congratulations Kaitlyn and Justin!!

Mat and Sarah
Mat and Sarah had their wedding ceremony the other week at the gorgeous Rose Garden at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL. It was a sweet and intimate ceremony and I’m honored that Mat and Sarah chose me to capture their marriage. After the ceremony we did a few quick photos before heading over to the Cantigny Golf Club for their reception. A couple of highlights of the day were all the beautiful flowers and details everywhere, the sparkler send off, and all of the night time fun with dancing, the photo booth, and shots. Thank you Sarah and Mat for having me be a part of your day. You’re the best!! -Jake

Tracy and Jon
Here’s a preview from my wedding session with Tracy and Jon the other week! They had me come take pictures for their wedding at the Dupage County Courthouse followed by portraits at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois. I loved all of the ideas they had for photos and that everyone was having fun and getting into it. I had a blast photographing Tracy, Jon and their family. Enjoy the photos! -Jake
Lindsay and Jordan
Lindsay and Jordan got married a few weeks ago on a beautiful (and slightly rainy) August Saturday. Their ceremony and reception took place in their backyard and I had absolutely great time spending the afternoon capturing their event. Some of the highlights are the millions of rose petals on the aisle, the cocktail bar in the front yard for the guests upon arrival, and the wood fired pizza for dinner. It’s always such a blessing to see two people in love get married and to be able to celebrate them with creating photos. Thank you, Lindsay and Jordan, for having me be a part of your wedding! - Jake
