Dayna and Tom

Dayna and Tom’s wedding at the Westin in Lombard was purely magical! I started the day capturing all the fun of getting ready, first looks on the patio, and portraits with their french bulldog before heading out to Herrick Lake for family and wedding party portraits surrounded by nature. Their cute ceremony was in the ballroom at the Westin which was flipped into their reception afterwards. I absolutely loved capturing the celebration of the marriage of Dayna and Tom and I wish the hearty CONGRATULATIONS!! - Jake

Lauren and Ed

The dawn of beauty

And early rays of light

Wash over us

Hold us close, dear music

As we sing and dance

Over the hills that meet us

And the valleys that kiss us

Green is the color of our hearts

And the cool river heals our feet

We call upon the northern lights

They flicker upon our love

They lick and jump and spiral

And play upon Celtic tunes

As we sway the night away

Blessed are these days

Between us and always

Becky and Matthew

Let the fun begin!

Love and laughter shine through us

From me to you and to all our friends

We bring the party

And as we dance

We move to rhythms of the hearts

Of all those we cherish

The good times will roll

My heart melds with yours

In ecstacy

And belonging

As we embrace this new beginning

Andie and Gavin

Electrical skies

Embody the spark between us

Illuminating spheres

Of powerful love

Can’t you feel it?

Isn’t it wonderful?

The history behind us

Pushes us forward

Into the distance

Let’s go!
