A blog of our current photography work.

Vicky and AJ

Vicky and AJ got married several weeks ago on a lovely and sunny summer day. Their ceremony took place at Old St. Pat’s Church in Lake Forest followed by a reception at Independence Grove in Libertyville. I loved all the thoughtful little details that Vicky put into her wedding but I especially love the bowtie on her dog Klaus and Klaus’ specialty drink at the reception. Vicky and AJ were so amazing to work for and I wish them a heartfelt congratulations!!

Melissa and Andrew

It’s always such a humbling, and amazing experience to be asked to shoot the weddings of our friends. Melissa and Andrew were married a few weeks ago in a beautiful ceremony at Independence Grove. Melissa and I (Jennifer) work together at Second City Canine Rescue, and it was so fun to see these worlds collide. Melissa’s pup, King, was mentioned throughout the day, and even made an appearance on their signature cocktails, in their vows, and in speeches throughout the night!

Fun fact: every time someone books us for their wedding, we make a donation in their honor to Second City Canine Rescue!

Jake and I loved getting to know Melissa and Andrew’s families, their fun group of friends, and to be a part of their day.

We were so glad the rain held off so that we could do all of our portraits outside, before the skies opened up and stormed!!

Melissa, you were absolutely stunning. Andrew, you are a lucky man!

Cheers, you two!
