Rachel and Keegan

Rachel and Keegan got married a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful Arrowhead Golf Course in Wheaton, IL. It was my first full wedding day of 2021 and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to start my season off with! You could sense how in love Rachel and Keegan are with each other and it was my pleasure to capture their love in photos. It was a bit wet outside (typical of April to be that way) and it didn’t affect these two. They were just as happy as if it was a sunny dry day! Congratulations to Rachel and Keegan and I wish them all the happiness as they start married life together! -Jake

Special thanks to Nicholas Holstein for being my second photographer!

Sachanda Family

Earlier this week I did some family portraits for the Sachanda family at their home in Hinsdale. They were all together for the holiday and decided to try to get some pictures of the whole family. It was so much fun following the two little cousins around as they picked flowers and enjoyed the warm weather. Thank you to the Sachandas for having me take their family photos!

McGuire Family

I met up with the McGuire family last week at Lake Ellyn to do some updated family photos as last time I did them they just had Henry. Their other son James just turned one and they figured they should get some photos with him, too! These kids were so full of goofy energy and I had a blast following them around for an hour. I have so many great photos of the McGuire family it was hard to just pick a few for a preview!

Cindy and Noah

While I didn’t get to photograph Cindy and Noah’s wedding last year because of covid I am so happy that I still get to photograph their other life events. They are expecting their baby boy in May and asked me to take their maternity portraits to capture this time in their lives. Here’s a few of my favorites from our session the other day. Thank goodness we’ve had several warm days in a row!

Katie and Brett

Katie and Brett got married last Saturday at their home in Northwest Indiana. They transformed their living room into one of the best ceremony spots I’ve seen! I love the custom floral arch they made and the bourbon barrel top that they carved their names into. After their short but sweet ceremony we did a few portraits in their home (made sure to get their dog in some!) and then went to their reception at Gino’s Prime and Surf for some dancing and candid shots. A huge thanks to Katie and Brett for having me photograph their wedding!
