A blog of our current photography work.
I had so much fun the other week making wedding portraits for Kathie and Jes! They built a backdrop and wanted to create a more modern studio look for their photos. It was definitely different from my norm as I usually go out into nature for my portraits but I was up for the challenge and I’m really happy how these turned out. Thank you Kathie and Jes for having me create these portraits for you!
I photographed Kaitlyn and Justin’s wedding a couple of weeks ago on a lovely October fall Saturday. I absolutely adore that the first thing we did was take some photos with their adorable puppy Sloane. She was really camera shy and I did my very best to be calm with her and was happy to get a few good ones. Their ceremony was held at the Buffalo Creek Brewery in Long Grove, IL so we took advantage of the beautiful fall scenery for portraits in the area including the Parker Coffin Bridge and the pumpkins set up for the fall fest going on downtown. It was an honor and privilege to photograph their marriage and to be a part of their day. Congratulations Kaitlyn and Justin!!
Ashley and Danny got married a few weeks ago at Galleria Marchetti which is one of my favorite Chicago venues. I mean what could be better than dancing under the night sky on a gorgeous late summer night? They got ready downtown Chicago followed by a first look and portraits on the Riverwalk. I loved capturing Ashley and Danny’s fun and expressive energy throughout the day. A couple of highlights was their dog Hank dressed in a tuxedo who made an appearance during their ceremony and the flaming donut station for dessert. Enjoy the photos! -Jake
Here’s a preview from my wedding session with Tracy and Jon the other week! They had me come take pictures for their wedding at the Dupage County Courthouse followed by portraits at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois. I loved all of the ideas they had for photos and that everyone was having fun and getting into it. I had a blast photographing Tracy, Jon and their family. Enjoy the photos! -Jake
