Richard and Anna's Wedding

A couple of weeks ago we photographed Richard and Anna's wedding in Chicago. Their ceremony and reception were held at the amazing Stan Mansion and we did some portraits at the beautiful Garfield Park Conservatory. We loved being there to photograph all the special moments of their day! It was hard to pick just a few for a preview and we can't wait to show the rest! -Jake and Jennifer

Mary Therese and Jim's Wedding

Mary Therese and Jim had a beautiful and elegant wedding last month! They got married at their home church at St. Christina's in Oak Lawn and their reception was held at the amazing Chicago Cultural Center.  The Chicago Cultural Center is one of the coolest places I've photographed. Everywhere you turn there's something interesting to look at!  As for portraits we hit up the south garden at the Art Institute and the LaSalle St bridge downtown.  There's so much eye candy from this wedding. Enjoy! -Jake

Lauren and Mark's Wedding

Lauren and Mark had their wedding ceremony at the beautiful All Saints Episcopal Church in Chicago and their reception was held at Morton's Steakhouse downtown. They had just their immediate families with them so we got to do a full family group shot with the skyline in the background. Lauren and Mark were a fun and laid back couple and I got some great candid shots out of them.  Also, we LOVE her pink shoes! -Jake

Elisa and Matt's Wedding

Elisa and Matt got married a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful Heritage Prairie Farm. We loved the scenery and the relaxed feel of their day on the farm (not to mention their delicious homegrown organic food!).  Elisa and Matt's outdoor ceremony was held behind the farmhouse with rows of plants growing in the background.  And what can be better than parading away from the ceremony with instruments? These guys are an amazing group of people to work for (I've photographed both of Elisa's siblings weddings).  It was great to hang out with the Szopa family again! Here's a few of my favorite shots from their day! -Jake

Emily and Dane's Wedding

A couple of weeks ago I photographed Emily and Dane's summer wedding at the beautiful White Pines Golf Club in Bensenville, IL. They had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony surrounded by a pond and lovely greenery.  We loved all of the details of their day (and the sparklers!). Check out some photos from their day! -Jake
