Debbie and Jan's Wedding

Debbie and Jan had a beautiful wedding in Wheaton at Danada House. This place is one of our favorite venues and offers so many great spots to do outdoor portraits. I can shoot there all day and find more to do.  It was a little wet that day but that didn't stop us from walking around! Debbie and Jan were amazing to work for and I'm happy they chose me to capture their wedding day. Enjoy looking at this snapshot from their day! -Jake

Katie and Mike's Wedding

Katie and Mike had such an amazing day for their wedding, and we loved being able to share in it!

These two were so great to work with, and every detail was beautiful and perfectly arranged by Melissa at Clementine Custom Events!

We started the day at The Westin on Michigan Avenue, before doing a beautiful first look at Fourth Presbyterian Church across the street.  Following that, we did portraits at a few beautiful spots in the city before ending up at the Newberry Library for their sweet, heart-felt ceremony and lovely reception.

We so loved being a part of Katie and Mike's day, and are excited to share a few of our favorite images:

Andrea and Mike's Wedding

I had the honor and privilege to photograph Andrea and Mike's wedding a few weeks ago!  I loved the classic and elegant black and white details they had throughout the day. Andrea and Mike got married at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Marseilles, they did some portraits at Reddick mansion in Ottawa, and their reception was at Senica's Oak Ridge Golf Club near LaSalle.  I love photographing family weddings and had a ton of fun with these guys! Enjoy the photos! -Jake

Christina and Kevin's Wedding

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to photograph Christina and Kevin's wedding in Chicago! Christina got ready at the W Lakeshore hotel and their ceremony was held at the crazy beautiful St. Clement Catholic Church in Lincoln Park. It was a hot summer day but it stayed dry and we were able to hit up North Pond and Belmont Harbor for some outdoor portraits.  Their reception was held at Zia's Lago Vista which had a really nice intimate restaurant vibe.  I loved worked with Christina and Kevin! -Jake

Kimberley and Dan's Wedding

Kimberley and Dan's gorgeous summer wedding was held on a rustic farm at a place called Emerson Creek Pottery and Tearoom.  I loved the laid back rural vibe this venue had.  Emerson Creek had a bridal coop for getting ready shots, an outdoor ceremony space with a cornfield backdrop, a barn/tent reception, and a tea room for portraits- this place was amazing!  Kimberley, Dan, and party were a great group of people to work for and I'm so excited to show them all of their photos.  Enjoy this snapshot of their day! -Jake
