Manuel and Brandon

One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is to be a witness and in the presence of couples who are wildly in love with each other. At Manuel and Brandon’s ceremony I remember thinking how palpable the feeling of love was in that room and how great it was to be present for that. You could feel the energy of support held in the cheers of their family and friends after their first kiss. I can’t forget to mention that they included their dog Lu in their ceremony. Lu had the softest ears and was so cute! Manuel and Brandon were such a joy to photograph and made my job so easy. Congratulations to the happy couple!! - Jake

Steven and Kathy

I had the honor of photographing Kathy and Steven’s lovely spring wedding a couple of weeks ago at the Chicago Marriott Southwest in Burr Ridge. It was one of those April days that was raining, then sleeting, and then totally clear in the next moment. Props to Kathy and Steven for being brave and bold to venture outdoors with me for some great portraits on the bridge near the hotel. They were so much fun to photograph and their entire wedding party…well…they knew how to PARTY! It was a great day! -Jake
