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

Emily and Kevin

I’m so excited to share some photos from Emily and Kevin’s wedding! It took place on a beautiful June afternoon at Armour House in Lake Forest. When I arrived everything was sparkling and perfectly magical. Emily was so excited and was beaming the entire time she was getting ready. I loved that Kevin brought his dog as part of the groomsmen crew. After their gorgeous ceremony on the lawn they had their intimate reception in the marble hall inside the Armour House surrounded by all the beautiful floral arrangements. Their evening finished with some intense dance moves and an epic sparkler exit. As always Rachel Langlois did a most amazing job as my second photographer!

Karlie and Shawn

Karlie and Shawn got married a couple of weeks ago on a beautiful sunny day at the Eaglewood Resort in Itasca. Their sweet ceremony was held outdoors overlooking the golf course and surrounded by their family and friends. I especially love their walk-in-the-park photos that they did at sunset. So beautiful!! Congratulations to Karlie and Shawn!!

A HUGE thank you to Karen Shoufler for covering for me last minute. Karen is so talented and I love every one of the photos she took!

Megan and Joel

I photographed Megan and Joel’s wedding this past July at the beautiful Brewster Creek Forest Preserve. Their day started at the Herrington Inn where they got ready. We did a first look in the courtyard and did most of the portraits around there. It was quite a warm summer day so it was nice to be able to duck in and out of the air conditioning at the inn. It rained briefly right before the ceremony to add some good luck and they were able to have their ceremony outside. It made me happy they included their pup in their ceremony! A huge thank you to Megan and Joel for having me be a part of their day!

Vicky and AJ

Vicky and AJ got married several weeks ago on a lovely and sunny summer day. Their ceremony took place at Old St. Pat’s Church in Lake Forest followed by a reception at Independence Grove in Libertyville. I loved all the thoughtful little details that Vicky put into her wedding but I especially love the bowtie on her dog Klaus and Klaus’ specialty drink at the reception. Vicky and AJ were so amazing to work for and I wish them a heartfelt congratulations!!
