Sarah and Al's Wedding

Love, laughter, and good people.  This wedding had it all. We were so happy to capture these moments with Sarah and Al on their incredible wedding day, and we are honored to have been a part of it.  From their sweet first look, a pit-stop during portraits for ice cream, their sincere and heartfelt vows, to the moves on the dance floor -- this wedding was one for the books.

Take a peek at some of our favorite images from their day!

Allison and Mike's Wedding

Alli and Mike got married on a beautiful (and hot) summer day a couple of weeks ago! I met up with them for a few getting ready shots and their first look at the hotel (a first look between Alli and her Dad, too!) and then we went out to do some portraits at Cantigny Park in Wheaton. We lasted barely an hour in the weather but we were able to take advantage of the park and made some awesome portraits before getting back in the air conditioning.  Their ceremony and reception were both at the Gaslite Manor in Aurora and their day was full of beautiful and memorable moments.  Here are some of my favorite photos from their wedding! -Jake

 

Jean and Robert's Wedding

A couple of weeks ago i had the pleasure of photographing Jean and Robert's wedding at the beautiful ivy covered Kenilworth Union Church! The day started off a little bit wet but you wouldn't be able to tell by the photos.  This church had an amazing walkway with arches that we used for the first look and a bunch of the portraits.  Their reception was held at the Chevy Chase Country Club where we had some great late afternoon sunlight for a couple more portraits. When I did their engagement session they mentioned they were taking dance lessons and it paid off because their first dance was perfect! Enjoy looking at a few of my favorite photos from their day! -Jake

Pepsi and Andy's Wedding

Pepsi and Andy were such a joy to work with, only a few weeks ago, at the County Line Orchard.  They couldn't have ordered up a nicer day for their wedding, and we were so happy to be able to spend the day with them! We loved their beautiful florals by Phillip's Flowers, and sincerely enjoyed the company of everyone in the bridal party!

We can never complain when a wedding ceremony is performed in the shade of a giant Oak Tree and the reception ends with S'mores.

Simply perfect.

Happy Wedding Day to Pepsi and Andy.

Thanks for letting us be a part of it!

Kelly and Drew's Wedding

Kelly and Drew were married a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful and timeless Armour House in Lake Forest. I absolutely love photographing at this venue.  I always feel like I've traveled to Europe when I'm there. I was a little jealous of Drew's suit and Kelly looked absolutely stunning! I can't thank these guys enough for having me photograph their day! -Jake
