Samantha and Kyle

Samantha and Kyle got married this past fall at Morris Country Club. I met up with Samantha at her parent's home for some getting ready shots and the plan was to go to the venue for a first look and bunch of outdoor portraits but by the time we got to Morris Country Club it was pouring rain.  I quickly found a spot to do the first look in the entryway and Samantha and Kyle didn't miss a beat. We grabbed some umbrellas and went outside. We didn't last long out there but still had a grand old time!  The ceremony had to be switched to the reception space but by the time it was done the storm had passed and we were able to go outside and take advantage of the sun and the beautiful landscape! Throughout the day Samantha and Kyle had only smiles and laughter and it was such a joy to be able to capture everything. Take a look at a few of their photos! Here's some of their wonderful vendors:

Katie and Jorge

Katie and Jorge got married on a beautiful fall day this past October.  Their ceremony was held in the gorgeous Baker Memorial Church and their reception was just a few blocks away in the Rainbow Room at Hotel Baker in St. Charles, IL  We did a bunch of bridal party portraits along the fox river and tried to get their puppy in on the action, too!  Jennifer and I had an amazing time working with Katie and Jorge and loved every bit of their wedding. Check out a few of our favorite photos from their day! Here's a list of some of Katie and Jorge's vendors:

Tracy and Mike

October is always a super busy month for us and for good reason. It's a really beautiful time of the year! Tracy and Mike's wedding happened to be on the nicest day this past October as it was 72 degrees and sunny which was especially nice because the chose to have an outdoor ceremony. Their venue of choice was the amazing Farm at Dover which is in southern Wisconsin. There was so much charm packed into this place that I knew wherever I turned I could make amazing photos. Tracy and Mike were such an awesome couple to work for and I had so much fun capturing their day!  

Kaitlin and Matthew's Wedding

Kaitlin and Matt had the most gorgeous Fall day for their wedding. The lighting, the temperature, the perfect tones of the leaves!!I could go on! But, the most beautiful thing to witness was the love between Kaitlin and Matt!  They couldn't take their eyes off each other, and were both full of smiles and laughter all day long!  We had so much fun working with them!

They were married at Independence Grove, and we couldn't have asked for a pretty venue!  Everything was perfect, and we were thrilled to be a part of their day!

Take a peek at a few of our favorite images from their wedding!

Kristin and Michael's Engagement

Kristin and Michael were so fun to work with during their session at the Morton Arboretum.  We love photographing there, and even have a membership because we enjoy going even when we aren't there for work!  There are endless beautiful trees and walkways, and there's always something new and creative to work with! We are so excited for Kristin and Michael's big day this coming May!
