Annie and Jeffrey

Visions from the ether

Rise up and meet us

Make a bridge to our hearts

Our love is true

In the city of winds

Near the lake that is an ocean

We say our vows

We sing our song

“Our love is strong

Our love is tender

Our love is deep

Our love lasts”

Crossing the bridge

Into the future unknown

With the stars as our witness

We have each other

Always

Lauren and Sean

Last month I had the honor of photographing Lauren and Sean’s amazing fall wedding at the unique Charcoal Factory Loft in Chicago. We started off the day with some getting ready shots at their condos followed by a first look at Ward Park. We then took a trip to the Chicago River for some bridal party portraits with Chicago as a backdrop before heading to Charcoal Factory for their ceremony. Their short but sweet ceremony was held in the courtyard and afterwards they had food trucks and dancing! Ending the night with a sparkler tunnel is good way to go! Thank you Lauren and Sean for having me photograph your wedding!! Jake

Abbie and Eric

Abbie and Eric had their wedding ceremony a couple of weeks ago at one of my favorite venues Salvage One. We started with a first look in the back patio and then walked around the building for portraits of the the two of them. There’s so many amazing spots around Salvage One that the hardest part about doing photos there is choosing which looks to go with. Abbie looked absolutely stunning in her dress and Eric couldn’t keep his eyes off of her! Their sweet ceremony was held outside in the garden surrounded by their immediate family and close friends (and their ring-pup!) followed by champagne and first dances. I cannot wait to party with them next year! -Jake

Erin and John

Erin and John got married this past February at the fabulous Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago.  Their ceremony and the reception were held upstairs in Skyline Loft.  We are obsessed with the lighting and drapery and that Art of Imagination put together and the flowers from Steve's Flower Market were gorgeous.  It was wonderful to work for the Kielty family again (I photographed Erin's sister's wedding 7 years ago) and I had a ton of fun capturing all the crazy dance floor shenanigans.  Check out some of my favorite photos from their day!
