Kendyll and Chris suggested start their engagement session in their neighborhood on the 606 Trail near Wicker Park. I’ve shot a few family photos there, but this was my first time taking a couple along the Bloomingdale Trail. We did a down and back lap to Park No. 567 and the Spire Garden near Milwaukee…
Before I even heard about Amy & Eric’s wedding plans, they shared their vision of an engagement session at Olive Park with their dog, Ty(phoon.) It’s their neighborhood park and they love taking Ty for walks there so I was happy to spend the afternoon with them at one of their special spots…
I met Hayley and Chris in their suburban neck of the woods – downtown Lemont. It was great to chat about their wedding plans over beers at Pollyanna Brewing Company.
Just as we finished our drinks the cloud cover parted and we were welcomed with a beautiful blue sky.
Katie and Aaron, like many couples, postponed their fall 2020 wedding plans to later this year. But that gave us time this summer for an engagement session here in downtown Chicago. The weather started looked dicey all morning, but thankfully we stuck with the plan and the rain stayed away. We enjoyed a great afternoon and evening walking through some of Chicago’s best engagement locations…
Lauren and Dan were married at the historic Rookery Building in Chicago. It’s been a bit since I shot at the Rookery building and I almost forgot what a treat it is.
I spent the morning with Lauren and her bridesmaids getting ready around the corner at the JW Marriott Hotel. It was nice chill morning and I loved Lauren’s mom’s excitement as she buttoned Lauren into the dress. But the faces of Lauren’s bridesmaids seeing her in it for the first time was the real showstopper!
Cassie and Matt were married at Stan Mansion in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. They were one of my first couples from 2020 to have their wedding plans upended by the Coronovirus Pandemic. I’ve been very thankful for couples like Cassie & Matt with their graciousness and flexibility while working through constantly changing plans…
The last year and a half have been hard on everyone, but as spring started to blossom it’s looking like there’s light at the end of the tunnel thanks to the Covid vaccine. It was great to finally get back out and start shooting. Jill & Jacob were so fun to work with that it made me remember how lucky I am to be able to call this my career…
It’s rare that I get to shoot someplace in Chicago new, so I was excited when Jean & Jack suggested starting in Chicago’s Chinatown neighborhood at Ping Tom Memorial Park. I can’t believe I’d never been there before but as soon as I saw the view I knew I’d be going back…
As much as I love being a wedding photographer in Chicago, it can be refreshing to get a chance to shoot outside of the city. I love the opportunity to break out of some of the most common downtown locations and make pictures in different spots…
Grace and Victoria were married at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. I started the morning with Grace and her bridesmaids while Justin started with Victoria and her ladies. The brownstones across the street provided the perfect getting ready location with an amazing three story spiral staircase…
