Emily and Doug

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Emily and Doug’s wedding a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful Hinsdale Golf Club. September treated us well with gorgeous and mild weather and I couldn’t have asked for a better setting to take photos. Emily and Doug’s love for each other was palpable and I feel so honored to be able to capture their day. I can’t wait to share all the photos from their wedding. Enjoy! -Jake

Ashley and Danny

Ashley and Danny got married a few weeks ago at Galleria Marchetti which is one of my favorite Chicago venues. I mean what could be better than dancing under the night sky on a gorgeous late summer night? They got ready downtown Chicago followed by a first look and portraits on the Riverwalk. I loved capturing Ashley and Danny’s fun and expressive energy throughout the day. A couple of highlights was their dog Hank dressed in a tuxedo who made an appearance during their ceremony and the flaming donut station for dessert. Enjoy the photos! -Jake

Tracy and Jon

Here’s a preview from my wedding session with Tracy and Jon the other week! They had me come take pictures for their wedding at the Dupage County Courthouse followed by portraits at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois. I loved all of the ideas they had for photos and that everyone was having fun and getting into it. I had a blast photographing Tracy, Jon and their family. Enjoy the photos! -Jake

Lindsay and Jordan

Lindsay and Jordan got married a few weeks ago on a beautiful (and slightly rainy) August Saturday. Their ceremony and reception took place in their backyard and I had absolutely great time spending the afternoon capturing their event. Some of the highlights are the millions of rose petals on the aisle, the cocktail bar in the front yard for the guests upon arrival, and the wood fired pizza for dinner. It’s always such a blessing to see two people in love get married and to be able to celebrate them with creating photos. Thank you, Lindsay and Jordan, for having me be a part of your wedding! - Jake
