A blog of our current photography work.

Robynn & Matt

Robynn and Matt were so lovely to spend time with during their wedding a few weeks ago. The two of them had a beautiful low-key morning at Villa D’ Citta which they had rented out for their families. They read letters from each other and had the sweetest first look.

We ubered through the city to take portraits at a few of their favorite spots, before coming to Galleria Marchetti. Their ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and everything was personalized exactly for them. We loved the music and their decorations. Emily Rodecker from Five Grain Events made sure that everything was exactly as it should be, and impeccably timed.

It was such a perfect day, and we were so honored to have been able to spend it with Robynn, Matt, and their families.

We wish them all the happiness in the world!

Leigh and Steve

Leigh and Steve got married a couple of weeks ago at the Glen Club in Glenview. We love all of the beautiful florals that were done by Kasia Hyzy. Their cute puppy Wiggles was one of the flower girls and made her way into a ton of the pictures. We did a first look and portraits at a location that was dear to their hearts: Little Bear park and Gallery Park. We were so honored to photograph their day and are excited to share some of their photos! Thank you to Nicholas Holstein for being my second photographer for the day. -Jake

Lindsey and Kevin

Lindsey and Kevin had such a relaxed and fun brunch wedding at Beatnik on the River a few weeks ago. I so enjoyed being able to capture their day, and being swept up in all the excitement and beauty of their unique and love-filled wedding!

Please enjoy a few of my favorite images from their day! Their gorgeous flowers were done by Oliver Dogwood Floral Co.


Colleen and Nicholas

I had the pleasure of photographing Colleen and Nick’s wedding a few weeks ago on a gorgeous summer day! They had their sweet ceremony at the Holy Cross Church in Deerfield followed by a reception at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. Colleen and Nick found a beautiful forest preserve nearby called Ryerson Woods that we did all of our bridal party portraits at. Their day was absolutely perfect and I am so happy that I was able to be a part of it! -Jake
