Bella and Spencer

I just absolutely adore Bella and Spencer and their style. Their cheerful and bright personalities lit up my day and it was easy to forget about the rain when I was with them. I was delighted every time I found a butterfly in their decor. Their wedding ceremony took place at St. Joseph’s in Libertyville followed by a reception at the classy Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. Special thanks to Nick Holstein for photographing alongside me. Cheers to Bella and Spencer and I wish them many blessings!! -Jake

Alexa and Caleb

Cradled by the snow,

Ice and wind…

Winter chill keeps us close

By the fire

Of our heart’s desire.

I photographed Alexa and Caleb’s wedding a couple of weeks ago in Wheaton, IL. Their ceremony was held in the beautiful Gary United Methodist church followed by a reception at the classy Moment on Main. I had so much fun braving the blizzard and doing some crazy photos out in the snow and wind as we walked down the street after they got married. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience a winter blizzard than celebrating with Alexa and Caleb!

Madeleine and Nick

I’m so excited to share some photos from Nick and Madeleine’s wedding day. It took place a couple of weekends ago on beautiful November Friday afternoon. After a first look and wedding party portraits at one of my favorite places, the Morton Arboretum, we took a trolley ride to their Chicago wedding ceremony at St. Michael’s Cathedral. Their nuptials were followed by a reception at the lovely Carlisle in Lombard. I had an incredible time photographing their wedding and I wish Madeleine and Nick a heartfelt congratulations!

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!

Elizabeth and Bobby

My heart skipped a beat

When I saw you walk down the aisle

Held in the arms of God and the angels

Our love rings true

Speaking of rings

You have mine and I have yours

I give to you

You give to me

When we walk out of the church

We walk together

Sailing down the river of foxes

We gather at the inn of herrings

To celebrate our love eternal

With so many blessings
