Melissa and Andrew

It’s always such a humbling, and amazing experience to be asked to shoot the weddings of our friends. Melissa and Andrew were married a few weeks ago in a beautiful ceremony at Independence Grove. Melissa and I (Jennifer) work together at Second City Canine Rescue, and it was so fun to see these worlds collide. Melissa’s pup, King, was mentioned throughout the day, and even made an appearance on their signature cocktails, in their vows, and in speeches throughout the night!

Fun fact: every time someone books us for their wedding, we make a donation in their honor to Second City Canine Rescue!

Jake and I loved getting to know Melissa and Andrew’s families, their fun group of friends, and to be a part of their day.

We were so glad the rain held off so that we could do all of our portraits outside, before the skies opened up and stormed!!

Melissa, you were absolutely stunning. Andrew, you are a lucky man!

Cheers, you two!

Anna and Matt

Anna and Matt had such a sweet wedding, and we had so much fun being a part of their day. Fortunately the rain held off for their ceremony at the Winnetka Community House, and we were able to do everything outdoors, as planned!

Anna had the sweetest first-look with her grandfather, and we love that he walked her down the aisle. There were so many sentimental moments and intimate details throughout their day. Anna and Matt are so head over heels for each other, and couldn’t stop smiling the whole day through.

We loved being able to be there to capture Anna and Matt’s sweet wedding, and wish them nothing but the best.

Katy and Seth

Katy and Seth had a beautiful day for their sweet summer wedding a few weeks ago!  Katy and her girls got ready at the The Freehand Hotel, which was absolutely amazing.  We had so much fun with them and their bridal party, as we hit up a few spots around the city for portraits. 

Katy was absolutely stunning, and Seth could not keep his eyes off her.  We loved their style, their incredible florals by Life in Bloom, and the way their entire day reflected who they are as a couple. 

Jordyn, and her team from Bliss Weddings & Events kept the day running smoothly and perfectly timed.  We loved all the thought that was put into every detail, and we were so honored to be a part of their day.

Please take a peek through a slideshow of some of our favorite images!

Best wishes to Katy and Seth

Zoe and Thomas' Wedding

We love weddings held at the Morton Arboretum!  Their beautiful and natural landscapes offer boundless opportunities for portraits, even in the dead of winter! Zoe and Tom had such a lovely wedding, and we are so happy to have been a part of their sweet day!  We loved their style, and genuine and visible love for each other.  We enjoyed shooting both film and digital throughout the day, and love what we came away with!

Please enjoy a few of our favorite images from their day!
