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

Jamie and Michael

Jamie and Michael got married on a beautiful late summer day at St. Emily’s in Mount Prospect surrounded by their families. After their church ceremony we stopped at Ryerson Woods Forest Preserve which was conveniently along the way to the reception. Ryerson is a great option for portraits in the Lincolnshire/Wheeling area as it has lots of trails, prairie views, and natural beauty. Their reception was held at the lakeside pavilion at the Lincolnshire Marriott resort. I love this venue because the reception room is all floor to ceiling windows which lets in tons of natural light. Instead of doing their dancing indoors they had music and their first dances outside on the patio which was a great alternative to the traditional dance floor. I had an amazing time capturing Jamie and Michael’s wedding and wish them a heartfelt congratulations! -Jake

Colleen and Nicholas

I had the pleasure of photographing Colleen and Nick’s wedding a few weeks ago on a gorgeous summer day! They had their sweet ceremony at the Holy Cross Church in Deerfield followed by a reception at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. Colleen and Nick found a beautiful forest preserve nearby called Ryerson Woods that we did all of our bridal party portraits at. Their day was absolutely perfect and I am so happy that I was able to be a part of it! -Jake
