Nicole and Jouwon

Nicole and Jouwon got married this past October at The Haight in Elgin.  I love shooting at loft style venues and this place doesn't disappoint!  It was quite a chilly fall day but we braved the weather and got some great shots outside.  There were so many beautiful moments and I was honored to be there to capture it all.  Definitely check out the spread of desserts from Smallcakes Naperville. It was so good! Here's a few of my favorite photos from their day.

Jessie and Omar's Wedding

Jessie and Omar got married at Salvage One a few weeks ago.  This venue is one of my favorite places to shoot at.  Seriously, everywhere you turn there's a cool place to take photos.  Jessie and Omar's ceremony took place inside the venue among rows of salvaged church pews and random chandeliers.  At the end of the night we had a ton of fun with the sparklers in front of the iconic Chicago sign. Enjoy the photos! -Jake

Becky and Tyler's Wedding

Becky and Tyler's summer wedding took place at the gorgeous First Congregational Church in Western Springs. After they said their vows we went over to their reception which was at one of our favorite venues Lacuna Artists Lofts in Chicago.  We are artists and we love loft venues so that equals perfect! There are so many great portrait locations in Lacuna we could spend the whole day shooting there.  Becky, Tyler and their party were an amazing group of people to work for! -Jake and Jennifer
