Lauren and Alex's Wedding

When Lauren and Alex asked us to shoot their wedding at Discovery World in Milwaukee, WI, we were thrilled!These two have a laid back kind of love that just sort of wraps you up and leaves you with all kinds of feel-good vibes. Days before the wedding, Lauren suffered a tragic loss in her family, and it was wonderful to see their strong love hold them together throughout their day. It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with them, and capturing every moment of their sweet wedding.

Elizabeth and Ben's Wedding

Elizabeth and Ben's wedding was such a joy to be a part of.  Every part of their day was simply gorgeous, and we were honored to be there to capture it. Every last detail -- from the perfectly mismatched green bridesmaids dresses, to the stunning flowers and Elizabeth's amazing shoes -- was beautifully done.  Their day was full of heartfelt words, genuine smiles and sweet tears of joy.

Please enjoy a few of our favorite images from their beautiful wedding:

Megen and Tommy's Wedding

We've been a bit behind on posts lately, as we settle into our new home -  BIG MOVE - a whole mile and a half down the road from where we were!  We are loving it, and have launched full-force into the thick of Wedding Season! We thought we'd share this amazing wedding with you on this Monday morning, because this bride's smile will surely brighten your day.  Megen and Tommy were simply a joy to work with.  From their stunning and impeccable style, down to every last perfect hand-crafted detail, their wedding at City View Loft was amazing from start to finish.  These two had a dream team of vendors working to pull their big day together, including Kate from Chicago Vintage Weddings,  incredible florals by Pistil and Vine and catering from Bub City -- the end result was a wedding you will not soon forget!  We were thrilled to have Ryan Timm along to second-shoot on this wedding and love what he came away with.

Please enjoy a few of our favorite shots from their day, leave Megen and Tommy some LOVE and make sure to check out their feature in The Splash!

Elizabeth and Matt's Engagement Session

Elizabeth and Matt are such a great couple.  It was a joy getting to know them, and Maggie their beautiful Golden Retriever, during their Engagement Session last month!  I loved that they chose to do their session at an alley by Green Street Smoked Meats,  on the Kinzie Street bridge and in the Mary Bartleme Park!  These locations turned out great and we had a fantastic time! I'm so glad we had a chance to do these photos right before I shot their wedding a few weeks ago!

Here are a few of our favorite images from their shoot:

Alex and Kilene's Engagement Session

Aren't Alex and Kilene just the sweetest couple?  Their Engagement Session at the Morton Arboretum was absolutely perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a nicer day to shoot.  Alex and Kilene's adorable sense of style, and easy laid-back kind of love made them a joy to work with and we can't wait to be a part of their wedding next year! Please take a peek at a few of our favorite images from their session!
