Madison and Matt

Farm weddings are such chill and laid back affairs which is right up my alley. Madison and Matt’s wedding on the family farm in Beaverville, IL earlier this month was just that! Everybody was just hanging out and having fun and in the middle of it all Madison and Matt got married. Some of the highlights from their wedding is doing bridal party portraits surrounded by really pretty autumn color, the lounge on the lawn, dinner by food truck, the best donuts I’ve ever eaten, and s’mores around the bonfire. What a beautiful day!

Engagement Portraits - Rachel and Keegan

For a while this summer it was blazing hot and it cooled off just in time for Rachel and Keegan’s engagement photos at St. James Farm in Wheaton. It was the perfect evening for portraits. I was so happy when I learned that they were bring their rescue pups Withers and Alfred to be a part of their session. Special thanks to Rachel’s sister who help wrangle the dogs when they weren’t in the photos and for getting Rachel and Keegan to laugh. I have a feeling I’m going to have a great time at their wedding in April at the Arrowhead Golf Course! -Jake

The Elsass Family

I think I’ve done four sessions for the Elsass family now and every session is alot of fun! I met with them at Ryerson woods because it had a good mix of backgrounds to use. The kiddos were getting a little tired by the end of the session but I worked my magic and got alot of smiles out of them! Here’s a few of my favorites from their session! -Jake
