A blog of our current photography work.

Kate & Bronson

Kate and Bronson were married a couple of weeks ago at the amazing Lacuna Artist Lofts in the Reverie Room. We love photographing in unique spaces and with all the artwork, neon signs, and custom made frame arch Lacuna Lofts certainly fits that category! Their wedding was coordinated by Laura from Fierce Productions, the gorgeous flowers were made by Paytin from Flowers for Dreams, and the music was done by dj Matt Roan (he was the dj for our wedding, too!!). Special thanks to Nicholas Holstein for being my second photographer.

Robynn & Matt

Robynn and Matt were so lovely to spend time with during their wedding a few weeks ago. The two of them had a beautiful low-key morning at Villa D’ Citta which they had rented out for their families. They read letters from each other and had the sweetest first look.

We ubered through the city to take portraits at a few of their favorite spots, before coming to Galleria Marchetti. Their ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and everything was personalized exactly for them. We loved the music and their decorations. Emily Rodecker from Five Grain Events made sure that everything was exactly as it should be, and impeccably timed.

It was such a perfect day, and we were so honored to have been able to spend it with Robynn, Matt, and their families.

We wish them all the happiness in the world!

Kira and Yaniv

Kira and Yaniv had an incredible wedding at Salvage One, that was beautifully pulled together by the lovely and talented Kate Lerman of Chicago Vintage Weddings. Every part of their day was carefully curated to be as personal, and as eco-conscious as possible.

We loved that they biked to their venue, their amazing florals by Pollen and that they included their rescue dogs in the celebration!

A special thank you goes to Nick Holstein for being our second-shooter for the day. Always a pleasure to have you shooting alongside!

Please enjoy just a few of our favorite images from their wedding!

Leigh and Steve

Leigh and Steve got married a couple of weeks ago at the Glen Club in Glenview. We love all of the beautiful florals that were done by Kasia Hyzy. Their cute puppy Wiggles was one of the flower girls and made her way into a ton of the pictures. We did a first look and portraits at a location that was dear to their hearts: Little Bear park and Gallery Park. We were so honored to photograph their day and are excited to share some of their photos! Thank you to Nicholas Holstein for being my second photographer for the day. -Jake
