Kristin and Andrew

Kristin and Andrew were married the other week at a unique venue in Chicago called Chez. To me it was a perfect studio space and it was made for me to photograph in! The day started with some getting ready shots at the Sheraton nearby where I got some great doggie portraits, too. Kristin and Andrew had a first look along the Riverfront and we were able to get some skyline shots in at Olive Park before it started raining on us. Once it started raining we dashed back to the bus and hit up Union Station as our back up plan. Thank you to Kristin and Andrew for having me capture their wedding day!

Sarah and Eric

I had the pleasure of photographing Sarah and Eric’s wedding the other week at one of coolest venues in Illinois, The Silver Fox. It was an old Masonic Temple that they turned into a swanky speakeasy feeling wedding venue. Seriously, everywhere you turn at this place is an opportunity to make great photos. The day started with one of the groomsmen combing through their extensive vinyl collection which set the mood of the day. Their ceremony was held upstairs in an old auditorium and the reception was downstairs in a refurbished community room. I had a wonderful time spending the day with Sarah and Eric and I can’t wait to show them all the photos!

Kira and Yaniv

We were thrilled to do some portraits of Kira and Yaniv, with their sweet rescue pups Kaya and Pru! We are so looking forward to their wedding in September, and can’t wait to work with Kate of Chicago Vintage Weddings to make some wedding magic!

Kira and Yaniv took advantage of the free engagement session we offer when you hire us, along with the services of CVW for their wedding!

Kaya and Pru were so social and a breeze to photograph! We had so much fun working with Kira and Yaniv to create these images!

Can’t wait for their big day!
