Brittany and Ryan's Wedding

Brittany and Ryan were married a couple of weeks ago at the First Church of the Nazarene in Kankakee and their reception was held next to the beautiful Kankakee River at the Elks Country Club in St. Anne.  So much thought was put into every detail at this intimate wedding. One of Brittany's friends did her make-up and another friend handmade her dress.  I witnessed one of the sweetest ceremonies and first dances that I've ever seen at this wedding (Oh, and confetti canons and a ukulele!). Congratulations Brittany and Ryan! -Jake

Jaclyn and Kyle's Wedding

Jaclyn and Kyle were married a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful Madonna Della Strada Chapel at Loyola University in Chicago.  Madonna Della Strada is definitely a grand place to get married if you are having a church wedding!  After the ceremony we did a few indoor portraits at the Lincoln Park Conservatory. Thank you to Jaclyn, Kyle and the bridal party for braving the wetness to get some amazing shots. After that we went to their reception site that was held at the James hotel downtown. This couple has a terrific sense of style and I loved all the details of their wedding! -Jake

Sandra and Andy's Wedding

Sandra and Andy got married on Earth day and the world was kind to them and gave them a beautiful and sunny Spring day!  I really enjoyed photographing this couple's wedding. The whole day was full of so much love.  Enjoy a few of my favorite photos from their day! -Jake

Martha and Jonathan's Wedding

A couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure of being the photographer for Martha and Jonathan's wedding in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. Their intimate ceremony was held at the beautiful Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oakbrook and their reception was at the Seven Bridges Golf Club in Woodridge.  The weather was a little crazy so we did almost all of the portraits inside of the estate and it turned out to be an amazing place to do them! Here's a sampling of photos from their wedding and I hope you enjoy them! -Jake

Erin and Allen's Wedding

We always love photographing at the County Line Orchard in Hobart, IN. It's a great venue to have the getting ready shots, portrait session, ceremony and reception all at the same place! Also, we always appreciate couples who put alot of their own work into their details.  The bride's mom made a beautiful flower wall as a backdrop for the ceremony and the groom did some woodwork for the centerpieces and some other details.  We had so much fun at Erin and Allen's wedding and we hope you enjoy some of our favorite images from their day! -Jake and Jennifer
