Stephanie and Sean

Stephanie and Sean had a beautiful Fall day for their wedding a few weeks ago. We were so happy to be a part of their sweet wedding, and really enjoyed being able to be swept up in all the fun of their celebration.

They were married at the St. Maria Goretti Church, in Dyer, IN and following their beautiful ceremony, they had a reception at the White Hawk Country Club in Crown Point. All of their flowers were designed by Stephanie’s uncle, and everything was absolutely stunning.

Please enjoy a few of our favorite images from their day!

Peter and Sarah

It's always a special honor to be included in the weddings of our family.  Jennifer's cousin Peter, and his stunning bride, Sarah, had the sweetest DIY wedding at the Farnsley Moremen Landing in Louisville, KY a few weeks ago.  Their beautiful, heartfelt ceremony was filled with laughter and love, and we couldn't be happier for the two of them.

We loved all their delicate and simple details, and the way Peter couldn't take his eyes off of his new wife - or the smile from his face.  Our kids loved the ice cream bar, and exploring the beautiful grounds of the property!

Many congratulations to this amazing couple as they start their life together.

We love you!

Francesca and Danny

Francesca and Danny were married at Ravisloe Country Club in one of the sweetest outdoor ceremonies on one of the warmest days of the year. 

These two were so great to work with, and their bridal party was a lot of fun!  The expansive venue offered plenty of shade and beautiful indoor spaces to shoot in.  We loved the attention to detail and thought that was put into every aspect of their day. 

Francesca and Danny, thank you for having us be a part of your beautiful wedding!

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.
