Colleen and Dan's Wedding

I know it's overdone, but I have to say it -- We are so fortunate to be able to do what we love everyday and to make our living spending time with amazing people! Colleen and Dan were so fun to work with!  Their laid back personalities and intense love for each other made for a great day of 'work'.    These two had a beautiful April day for their wedding, and it was an absolute pleasure to be such an integral part of their day.

On top of having Colleen and Dan as my amazing clients, I had the pleasure of photographing with Ryan, of Ryan Timm Photography.  I am always pumped when Ryan and I have the opportunity to shoot together at my weddings and look forward to more collaborations.

Enjoy the photos!

Chase and Debbie's Wedding

We have had very few nice days this April so far and Chase and Debbie had one of those days in between that it was pleasant!  Which is good because their ceremony was set to be outside at the Country Mansion in Dwight, IL.  Debbie had put so much of her personality into her wedding down to the littlest thing like a music box that played "singing in the rain" just in case it was raining. I love photographing details like this.  They even opted to do pie's instead of cake because they like pies so much more!  Anyways, I had a blast shooting their wedding and I hope you enjoy viewing their photos. undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

Erin and Michael's Wedding

On April 1st I was able to photograph Erin and Michael's wedding here in town.  It was a typical spring day with very unpredictable weather but we managed it by finding a few dry spots around the area for portraits.  I love that Erin wanted to use the red door at a church she didn't even get married at!  They were so wonderful to work for and I appreciate their willingness to brave the rain. Enjoy the photos!

Jennifer and Richard, Hard Rock Hotel, Chicago

Richard and Jennifer got married on a very snowy day on the first weekend in March.  I loved this wedding because everything about it was a culmination of their favorite things and I was honored to make visual memories of it all!  The ceremony was a St. Clements and their reception was at the Hard Rock Hotel in downtown Chicago.  It was VERY snowy and windy and I can't thank them enough for their willingness to brave the cold weather for their portraits.  I mean, seriously, they don't even look like it was cold out!  Such an amazing couple to work with.  Enjoy the photos!
