Here’s a preview from Karina and Evan’s wedding that took place a few weeks ago in Aurora, IL. The day started with a downpour (for good luck!) that thankfully stopped right before the ceremony and stayed away for the rest of the day. They had a beautiful Catholic ceremony at St. Rita of Cascia. Sometimes church ceremonies can end up being on the serious side but this one was full joy and laughter! Their reception was held at Blackberry Farm’s new wedding venue. I’ve been to Blackberry Farms with my kids many times and I have so many good memories of being there. I was excited when I first met Karina and Evan and they told me where the venue was…I knew it was going to be an amazing place to have a reception! I got so many great shot of people having fun on the carousel and playing games throughout the evening. It was a blast! Thank you Karina and Evan for having me capture it all! -Jake

Emily and Kevin
I’m so excited to share some photos from Emily and Kevin’s wedding! It took place on a beautiful June afternoon at Armour House in Lake Forest. When I arrived everything was sparkling and perfectly magical. Emily was so excited and was beaming the entire time she was getting ready. I loved that Kevin brought his dog as part of the groomsmen crew. After their gorgeous ceremony on the lawn they had their intimate reception in the marble hall inside the Armour House surrounded by all the beautiful floral arrangements. Their evening finished with some intense dance moves and an epic sparkler exit. As always Rachel Langlois did a most amazing job as my second photographer!
