Amanda and Joe

Amanda and Joe got married a couple of weeks ago at one of our favorite venues Warehouse 109. This couple has an amazing sense of style! When Amanda hung up her wedding dress I was speechless and immediately got to work photographing all of their wedding details (including a peanut butter and jelly cake). We did a bunch of portraits at Lake Renwick Forest preserve and they brought along their perfect blue pit named Rosie. Rosie was also their flower girl and sat quietly while their mom and dad got married. Dinner was made to order out of a food truck and their dancing was set to the backdrop of a wall of vintage motorcycles. It was such an incredible day. Congratulations to Amanda and Joe!!

Erica and Jake

Erica and Jake got married almost a year ago at one of our favorite venues: Warehouse 109. This place is located not too far from Chicago in Plainfield, IL and has a really cool vintage warehouse vibe. I love shooting here!  It ended up raining a little bit so they ended up doing their ceremony inside and there were plenty of covered spaces to do portraits on site.  Erica and Jake also used some of our favorite vendors such as Zuzu's petal's and DeEtta's bakery. I loved working with this couple and wish them a Happy Anniversary!

Kathryn and Steve

Kathryn and Steve had a beautiful November wedding, and we were so honored to have been a part of it.  Kathryn's smile lights up the room, her style is incredible, and her sweet husband couldn't take his eyes off her the entire day.  Kathryn's bouquet and their florals by The English Garden were simply stunning!  We loved every perfect detail. Kathryn and Steve were married in a sweet and heartfelt ceremony at their church before heading to Warehouse 109 in Plainfield.  This reception venue is absolutely amazing, and we love shooting there! The walls are lined with vintage motorcycles, and stunning tablescapes were set up throughout.  Also, any newlyweds that serve pie and BBQ are our kind of people!  The day was seamlessly held together by Kim Gapinski of Bride and Joy Events.  She kept the day flowing smoothly and managed every detail flawlessly!  We can't say enough great things about working with Kim, but for any couple that books her event planning services alongside ours, we will offer you a free Engagement Session!
