A blog of our current photography work.

Kathie and Jes

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!

Ashley and Danny

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

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!
