Elizabeth and David

A few weeks ago I had the honor of photographing Elizabeth and David’s wedding at Lacuna Artist Lofts in Chicago, IL. I knew I was going to have alot of fun at this wedding when the bridesmaids were dancing through the whole getting ready part of the day. Everything just got better from that point on! We did portraits downtown Chicago on the LaSalle bridge and the south gardens at the art institute. Their outdoor summer wedding was held on the rooftop of Lacuna with the Chicago skyline set as the backdrop. The positive energy during the reception was incredible as the best man and maids of honor gave their toasts and the dance floor was full of intense dance moves. I had a blast being a part of Elizabeth and David’s wedding and can’t wait to show them all of their photos! -Jake

Kathryn and Nick

Kathryn and Nick got married a couple of weeks ago in Lombard at the amazing Harry Caray’s restaurant. They had their ceremony and reception at the same place which makes things so easy. The day started with some getting ready shots at Kathryn’s parents house and then I took Kathryn and her bridesmaids downtown Downers Grove for some urban alley photos. Then I met Nick and his groomsmen for a few photos outside on the patio at Harry Caray's. After their sweet indoor ceremony we took a quick trip to Lyman Woods for some bridal party shots in the forest. Kathryn and Nick are such a fun couple and I was laughing along with them all day. This date was their second time rescheduling and their cake topper said it all: “About damn time”. Thanks Kathryn and Nick for having me capture your wedding day!!

Kristin and Andrew

Kristin and Andrew were married the other week at a unique venue in Chicago called Chez. To me it was a perfect studio space and it was made for me to photograph in! The day started with some getting ready shots at the Sheraton nearby where I got some great doggie portraits, too. Kristin and Andrew had a first look along the Riverfront and we were able to get some skyline shots in at Olive Park before it started raining on us. Once it started raining we dashed back to the bus and hit up Union Station as our back up plan. Thank you to Kristin and Andrew for having me capture their wedding day!

Kira and Yaniv

We were thrilled to do some portraits of Kira and Yaniv, with their sweet rescue pups Kaya and Pru! We are so looking forward to their wedding in September, and can’t wait to work with Kate of Chicago Vintage Weddings to make some wedding magic!

Kira and Yaniv took advantage of the free engagement session we offer when you hire us, along with the services of CVW for their wedding!

Kaya and Pru were so social and a breeze to photograph! We had so much fun working with Kira and Yaniv to create these images!

Can’t wait for their big day!

Michelle and Michael

Michelle and Michael had the sweetest day for their wedding a few weeks ago. And it goes without saying, that anybody that has a Dog of Honor, are our people!

We had such a fun time hanging out with them, and capturing every moment of their beautiful day. Thankfully, we were able to squeeze in all the portraits with them at the Morton Arboretum before torrential downpours, and had a blast at their reception at County Line Orchard!

We loved being a part of their celebration, and can’t wait to share all of their photos!

Enjoy a little peek at their beautiful day!
