A blog of our current photography work.

Marie and Mike

Marie and Mike had such a beautiful wedding at Meson Sabika a few weeks ago. We were honored to be a part of their day, and truly enjoyed being around everyone present!

Jennifer and Marie both volunteer at Second City Canine Rescue, and we were thrilled that their SCCR Alum, Murph, stood up in their wedding as their ring bearer for their special day.

Marie and Mike’s laughter-filled ceremony was absolutely lovely, and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a dry eye watching them say “I do”!

Please take a look through their gallery for a peek at their day.

All our best!

Stephanie and Sean

Stephanie and Sean had a beautiful Fall day for their wedding a few weeks ago. We were so happy to be a part of their sweet wedding, and really enjoyed being able to be swept up in all the fun of their celebration.

They were married at the St. Maria Goretti Church, in Dyer, IN and following their beautiful ceremony, they had a reception at the White Hawk Country Club in Crown Point. All of their flowers were designed by Stephanie’s uncle, and everything was absolutely stunning.

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

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.

Erika and Mark

Erika and Mark got married just over a week ago on a beautiful and sunny summer day. Their ceremony was at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Gurnee, IL and they had their reception at the Armour House in Lake Forest, IL.

We love being able to combine our love of making beautiful images, with our love of LOVE!  And Erika and Mark's sweet wedding provided ample opportunity for both. 

Their incredible florals were knocked out of the park, as usual, by Ipomea Floral.  Once again we were just blown away by their stunning designs. 

We loved being a part of Erika and Mark's day, and we hope you enjoy a few of our favorite images!
