A blog of our current photography work.

Maggie and Eric

Maggie and Eric got married this past October in the Fragrance Garden at the beautiful Morton Arboretum. Rain threatened to pour down on us but that didn’t stop them from getting outdoors to do all their portraits and to keep the ceremony plan A on schedule. This couple was seriously fun to photograph. So much laughter, love, and positivity throughout the day. The theme of their reception was, i kid you not, video games!! They even had mini arcade games at each table and Maggie and Eric duked it out with Street Fighter. I won’t mention who won. All the decor was hand made by the couple. Thank you to Maggie and Eric for having me be a part of their wedding day!!

Kristin and Andrew

Kristin and Andrew were married the other week at a unique venue in Chicago called Chez. To me it was a perfect studio space and it was made for me to photograph in! The day started with some getting ready shots at the Sheraton nearby where I got some great doggie portraits, too. Kristin and Andrew had a first look along the Riverfront and we were able to get some skyline shots in at Olive Park before it started raining on us. Once it started raining we dashed back to the bus and hit up Union Station as our back up plan. Thank you to Kristin and Andrew for having me capture their wedding day!

Kira and Yaniv

We were thrilled to do some portraits of Kira and Yaniv, with their sweet rescue pups Kaya and Pru! We are so looking forward to their wedding in September, and can’t wait to work with Kate of Chicago Vintage Weddings to make some wedding magic!

Kira and Yaniv took advantage of the free engagement session we offer when you hire us, along with the services of CVW for their wedding!

Kaya and Pru were so social and a breeze to photograph! We had so much fun working with Kira and Yaniv to create these images!

Can’t wait for their big day!

Michelle and Michael

Michelle and Michael had the sweetest day for their wedding a few weeks ago. And it goes without saying, that anybody that has a Dog of Honor, are our people!

We had such a fun time hanging out with them, and capturing every moment of their beautiful day. Thankfully, we were able to squeeze in all the portraits with them at the Morton Arboretum before torrential downpours, and had a blast at their reception at County Line Orchard!

We loved being a part of their celebration, and can’t wait to share all of their photos!

Enjoy a little peek at their beautiful day!
