Sara and John

Sara and John got married a couple of weeks ago at the Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook, IL. They were originally planning a November wedding but moved it up to September so they could have their ceremony outdoors. It turned out to be such a beautiful day for their wedding. Sara and John have been an amazing couple to work for and we wish them a heartfelt congratulations! Huge thanks to Ryan Timm for photographing their wedding for us! You can check out his amazing photography here. -Jake

Abbie and Eric

Abbie and Eric had their wedding ceremony a couple of weeks ago at one of my favorite venues Salvage One. We started with a first look in the back patio and then walked around the building for portraits of the the two of them. There’s so many amazing spots around Salvage One that the hardest part about doing photos there is choosing which looks to go with. Abbie looked absolutely stunning in her dress and Eric couldn’t keep his eyes off of her! Their sweet ceremony was held outside in the garden surrounded by their immediate family and close friends (and their ring-pup!) followed by champagne and first dances. I cannot wait to party with them next year! -Jake

Sarah and Bill

Sarah and Bill got married a couple of weeks ago at the stylish FireHouse Chicago. They had their first look in front of the giant old school firehouse doors in front and then we walked around the venue taking advantage of all the opportunities presented to us for portraits. It was an absolute pleasure spending a couple of hours capturing their ceremony and hanging out with their family and friends for cupcakes and champagne. Congratulations Sarah and Bill! I can’t wait to see you again next year! -Jake

Tim and Lina

Tim and Lina had their wedding a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful Willowhaven Nature Center in Bourbonnais, IL. It was raining like crazy all morning and right before the ceremony started it stopped. It was still pretty wet out so they had their ceremony in the patio. I was cracking up that the ring bearer was driven in a battery powered car and the flower girl tossed her entire basket of petals on the ground. After the ceremony Tim, Lina and I went around the park to do portraits and the sun peeked out of the clouds for a few minutes. They were so easy to work with and I had a blast photographing their wedding day! -Jake

Lindsey and Eric

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Lindsey and Eric’s wedding ceremony in Aurora at one of the most stylish venues I know of called Company 251. It’s basically a giant photo studio that you can get married in with tons of places to do portraits. Even their elevator is amazing! We started the day with their bridal party and family walking around downtown Aurora. It had rained all morning but the weather cleared up and became a perfectly sunny day minutes before their first look. Photographing Lindsey, Eric, and their party was like hanging out with friends. They are such a great group of people and I cannot wait to photograph their reception in 2021! -Jake
