Nicole and Connor

I’ve been excited to showcase Nicole and Connor’s wedding ever since I photographed their day a few weeks ago. I would have gotten this up sooner but, between Nick and I, we took a ton of photos. Seriously, everywhere we turned there was something exciting to photograph. I was just one piece in the puzzle, but had a blast doing my part to make to make Nicole and Connor’s wedding day vision come to life. Their wedding took place at the beautiful Church of the Holy Family followed by a reception at the fabulous JW Marriott in downtown Chicago. They were so much fun to work with and how often can I say that I got to incorporate a stop to McDonald’s into the photo shoot, haha. Thank you to Nicole and Connor for having me be a part of everything. Enjoy the photos!

Bridget and Kevin

Bridget and Kevin’s wedding ceremony took place on a lovely October afternoon at a gorgeous Catholic Church in Chicago called Immaculate Conception. I love that they walked out of ceremony to someone playing bagpipes! Their reception was held at the super classy Loews hotel in Rosemont. Bridget designed everything and it was really cool to see her vision come to life. Thank you to Bridget and Kevin for having us photograph their day and big thanks to Nick Holstein for being my second photographer!

McKenzie and Quinn

McKenzie and Quinn got married last month on a gorgeous September afternoon on the expansive grounds of the Thornhill Center at the Morton Arboretum. Everything was perfect and what a wonderful group of people it was to work for. It couldn’t have been any better! The trees at the arboretum held McKenzie and Quinn in their boughs as they exchanged their vows and started their lives together as a married couple. I wish them all the best!

Dayna and Tom

Dayna and Tom’s wedding at the Westin in Lombard was purely magical! I started the day capturing all the fun of getting ready, first looks on the patio, and portraits with their french bulldog before heading out to Herrick Lake for family and wedding party portraits surrounded by nature. Their cute ceremony was in the ballroom at the Westin which was flipped into their reception afterwards. I absolutely loved capturing the celebration of the marriage of Dayna and Tom and I wish the hearty CONGRATULATIONS!! - Jake
