Erin and John

Erin and John got married this past February at the fabulous Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago.  Their ceremony and the reception were held upstairs in Skyline Loft.  We are obsessed with the lighting and drapery and that Art of Imagination put together and the flowers from Steve's Flower Market were gorgeous.  It was wonderful to work for the Kielty family again (I photographed Erin's sister's wedding 7 years ago) and I had a ton of fun capturing all the crazy dance floor shenanigans.  Check out some of my favorite photos from their day!

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:

Sara and Ryan

In December I photographed Sara and Ryan’s wedding at Bottom Lounge in Chicago. It was the perfect venue for two music lovers to get married at! I loved the loft style atmosphere of the reception space and the backdrop of the ‘L’ on Lake. They got ready at the Wit downtown Chicago before heading over the Bottom Lounge for their ceremony. Even though it was a little chilly Sara and Ryan were willing to walk a couple of blocks to do some portraits in front of some nearby street art. I loved working with them and I hope you enjoy looking at a few of my favorite photos from their day! Here’s a list of their wedding vendors:

Kathryn and Steve

Kathryn and Steve had a beautiful November wedding, and we were so honored to have been a part of it.  Kathryn's smile lights up the room, her style is incredible, and her sweet husband couldn't take his eyes off her the entire day.  Kathryn's bouquet and their florals by The English Garden were simply stunning!  We loved every perfect detail. Kathryn and Steve were married in a sweet and heartfelt ceremony at their church before heading to Warehouse 109 in Plainfield.  This reception venue is absolutely amazing, and we love shooting there! The walls are lined with vintage motorcycles, and stunning tablescapes were set up throughout.  Also, any newlyweds that serve pie and BBQ are our kind of people!  The day was seamlessly held together by Kim Gapinski of Bride and Joy Events.  She kept the day flowing smoothly and managed every detail flawlessly!  We can't say enough great things about working with Kim, but for any couple that books her event planning services alongside ours, we will offer you a free Engagement Session!

Here are just a few of our favorite images from Kathryn and Steve's wedding:

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!
