Izzy and Jon

Izzy and Jon got married a couple of weeks ago in Aurora, IL at the fabulous Two Brother’s Roundhouse. I keep wanting to call it the “Two Birds Roundhouse” but i have no affiliation with Two Brother’s, however, I do really like their beer. Haha

Izzy and Jon were a blast to work with. The theme of their wedding was movies and each of the tables were represented by different movie that they love and the favors were boxes of movie candies. I am pleased to say I got Reese’s Pieces at my spot. One of my favorite moments from their wedding is when Izzy surprised Jon when she worked in the Lord of the Rings “One ring to bind them all” quote into the vows. I laughed all day long with Izzy and Jon and I am so happy that I got to be their photographer. Enjoy the photos!!

Lauren and Ed

The dawn of beauty

And early rays of light

Wash over us

Hold us close, dear music

As we sing and dance

Over the hills that meet us

And the valleys that kiss us

Green is the color of our hearts

And the cool river heals our feet

We call upon the northern lights

They flicker upon our love

They lick and jump and spiral

And play upon Celtic tunes

As we sway the night away

Blessed are these days

Between us and always

Lindsey and Eric

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Lindsey and Eric’s wedding ceremony in Aurora at one of the most stylish venues I know of called Company 251. It’s basically a giant photo studio that you can get married in with tons of places to do portraits. Even their elevator is amazing! We started the day with their bridal party and family walking around downtown Aurora. It had rained all morning but the weather cleared up and became a perfectly sunny day minutes before their first look. Photographing Lindsey, Eric, and their party was like hanging out with friends. They are such a great group of people and I cannot wait to photograph their reception in 2021! -Jake

Marionne and Juan

Marionne and Juan had a gorgeous winter wedding at Company 251. It ended up being a really cold and snowy day but we braved the weather and sneaked outside for a few quick shots. Their intimate ceremony was held on the first floor where their dog, Henry, stole the show as the ring bearer. After a few cocktails everybody went upstairs for the reception. While the guests were eating, the first floor was flipped and fitted with a collection of mirror balls for the dancing. The effect was stunning and made for one of the prettiest first dances we’ve seen. Congrats to Marionne and Juan on a beautiful wedding, we are so excited for you to welcome your baby this coming spring!!
