Chris and Allie's Wedding

This is the wedding of my cousin, Chris, and his beautiful bride, Allie.  Chris and Allie were married on Labor Day morning, in an intimate garden ceremony at the Whitehall Mansion in Lousiville, KY. It's pretty rare that we start our day while it is still dark, in fact, I don't think we've ever started shooting that early!  But, both being coffee connoisseurs, Chris and Allie had us covered in the coffee department!

This was such a beautiful wedding, and I'm not just saying that because they're family, and I want to be nice.  It was truly one of the most beautiful, personal, sweetest weddings I've ever been to.  Chris made almost all the food; Quiche, biscottis, and the most delicious Paninis I've ever tasted. The local coffee shop, Quills did all the coffee -- and although it was their first time doing an event like this, they were fantastic!  The baristas were awesome and the coffee was  a m a z i n g !

Stephanie and Ben's Art Institute of Chicago Wedding

I had so much fun photographing Stephanie and Ben's wedding with Ryan just a couple of weeks ago! This beautiful couple got ready at the Palmer House on East Monroe before their ceremony at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral.  The McKinlock Courtyard at the Art Institute of Chicago was an amazing place to shoot, and I am thrilled to be able to share a few of my favorite photos of their wedding with you! Enjoy!

Chris and Sarah's Chicago Wedding

Sarah and Chris had an absolutely beautiful day for their wedding!  They were married at the gorgeous Fourth Presbyterian Church in Downtown Chicago.  After their intimate ceremony, we went to a few locations around the city for some portraits before ending up at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers for their amazing reception. I really enjoyed working with Chris and Sarah.  They were so easy to photograph and really let me pull together my vision for their wedding.

Anna and Tim's Wedding

It's awesome couples like Anna and Tim that make me love doing what I do!  Anna and Tim had such  an amazing day and I was so glad to be able to share it with them - capturing it all on film. Anna and Tim were married in Kildeer, at the Kemper Lakes Golf Club.  Their outdoor ceremony was perfect, and the harp music was beautiful!!

Their wedding had so much detail and we loved their candy bar at the reception!
