Hannah and Kevin

I photographed Hannah and Kevin’s wedding a few weeks ago on a chilly but beautiful March day. They (and their bridal party!) braved the cold for a first look and portraits outdoors at Ryerson woods before their ceremony at Calvary English Chapel in Wheeling. After the ceremony, I took Hannah and Kevin to an alley in downtown Arlington Heights for a few quick urban portraits before their reception at the amazing Metropolis Ballroom. A huge THANK YOU to Hannah and Kevin for being awesome and for having me be a part of their day. Also, thank you to Nick Holstein for being my second photographer. He always does such a fantastic job.

Stephanie and KJ

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Stephanie and KJ’s sweet and intimate wedding ceremony at Maggiano’s in Oak Brook. The event started out with a first look with Stephanie and her Dad and Grandpa right before she walked down the aisle to get married. Their ceremony was full of laughter and smiles and I loved capturing every moment of it. Congrats Stephanie and KJ!!!

Molly and Michael

This past October was a month full of really amazing wedding couples. Molly and Michael were no exception. They foster through Second City Canine Rescue so it was only fitting that the first thing we did after their first look was photos with their three dogs who got dressed up for the occasion. Afterwards, their ceremony was held in the beautiful Madonna della Strada chapel on the coast of Lake Michigan at Loyola. It was such a gorgeous sunny day that we were blessed with to do portraits around the campus afterwards. Their reception was coordinated by the fabulous Erin at Harry Caray’s in Lombard and their florals were designed by the talented Florist & Hound Design. It was the perfect day!!

Stephanie and Kyle

I photographed Stephanie and Kyle’s wedding this past October at the Embassy Suites hotel in Naperville. They were so full of loving and fun energy that it made my job easy. All I had to do was follow them around and capture their joy. I had such a wonderful time working with them that it wasn’t really work! I know I’ve said this before but THANK YOU Stephanie and Kyle for having me photograph your wedding!

Jason and Kristina

This past November I was honored to be the photographer at Jason and Kristina’s wedding. Their ceremony was held at Holy Apostles Church in Westchester and their reception was at the Empress Banquets in Addison. I loved that they booked a classic car for their transportation! It offered some fantastic opportunities for night time portraits. Congratulations Jason and Kristina!
