Congratulations to Emily and Dominic! They got married a couple of weeks ago at a really fantastic venue called Brix on the Fox in Carpentersville. It was a bit windy but at least it was warm for March. We made the best of the weather and their wedding party knew how to have fun. I had such an amazing time spending the day with Emily and Dominic and am excited to share some photos from their wedding! -Jake

Alexa and Caleb
Cradled by the snow,
Ice and wind…
Winter chill keeps us close
By the fire
Of our heart’s desire.

I photographed Alexa and Caleb’s wedding a couple of weeks ago in Wheaton, IL. Their ceremony was held in the beautiful Gary United Methodist church followed by a reception at the classy Moment on Main. I had so much fun braving the blizzard and doing some crazy photos out in the snow and wind as we walked down the street after they got married. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience a winter blizzard than celebrating with Alexa and Caleb!
Madeleine and Nick
I’m so excited to share some photos from Nick and Madeleine’s wedding day. It took place a couple of weekends ago on beautiful November Friday afternoon. After a first look and wedding party portraits at one of my favorite places, the Morton Arboretum, we took a trolley ride to their Chicago wedding ceremony at St. Michael’s Cathedral. Their nuptials were followed by a reception at the lovely Carlisle in Lombard. I had an incredible time photographing their wedding and I wish Madeleine and Nick a heartfelt congratulations!
Becca and Zach
Surrounded by the beauty of autumn, Becca and Zach said their wedding vows and exchanged rings at the lovely Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton, IL. It was sunny and, while it was a bit chilly, we took advantage of the scenery for a ton of wedding party portraits. Huge thanks for everybody being good sports about it! Congratulations Becca and Zach! I can’t wait to share the rest of your photos with you. Special thanks to Nick Holstein for helping me photograph their wedding! -Jake
Bridget and Kevin
Bridget and Kevin’s wedding ceremony took place on a lovely October afternoon at a gorgeous Catholic Church in Chicago called Immaculate Conception. I love that they walked out of ceremony to someone playing bagpipes! Their reception was held at the super classy Loews hotel in Rosemont. Bridget designed everything and it was really cool to see her vision come to life. Thank you to Bridget and Kevin for having us photograph their day and big thanks to Nick Holstein for being my second photographer!
