Deirdre and Phil were married at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood with a reception at Cafe Brauer.
I started with Deirdre and the rest of the bridesmaids at Claridge House hotel. The ladies had a lot of fun listening to Taylor Swift while getting ready and it was a really great morning all around. Justin started with Phil and the guys at the same hotel as well…
Kendyll and Chris were married at one of Chicago’s best loft wedding venues: Artifact Events in the city’s Ravenswood neighborhood. I’m a bit partial to the venue because it’s just a few blocks from my home and I’m a well-known sucker for exposed brick loft spaces…
Megan and Alex were married at St. Scholastica Parish in Woodridge, Illinois.
I started the morning with Megan and the ladies getting ready at the Chicago Marriott Naperville. With large windows and big rooms we had lots of room for both Alex and Megan for the morning preparations….
I met Lauren and Dan at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Chicago’s Lincoln Park. They were very patient as we had to reschedule a few times while waiting for the lily pond to reopen during the coronavirus outbreak…
I met Catherine and Matt and their dog, Rocky, in Lincoln Park for their fall engagement photos. With a destination wedding in Michigan it was important to capture some of Chicago’s iconic skyline during their engagement session…
I met with Bridget and Patrick at the location where they shared dinner the night they got engaged – Marge’s Still. This little section of Old Town is a gem, with many buildings dating to the 1880s! After chatting over beers for a bit, we headed east toward the Lincoln Park…
I met Andrea & Andrew at Hopcat, a great beer bar in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, to start their engagement session. Right away the bright red chairs inspired me to be on the lookout for more colorful fall Chicago engagement photos. I always love trying to work Chicago’s bright and vibrant colors into my photos but fall colors make that task a bit easier…
I love shooting Lincoln Park engagement photos. Lincoln Park is clearly one of Chicago’s most popular engagement photo locations because there’s just so many different possibilities in the area. Jessica and Jared wanted to start with a mini “family” session with their pups. Thankfully Jessica’s mom was along to help manage the treats and keep their attention…
I met up with Amy & Robert in their Lincoln Park neighborhood at Other Side Bar before our engagement session. As I’ve said, I always like to meet up for drinks before we start shooting. It’s a great way to catch up on the wedding plans and relax before we head out…
Johnna and Bryce suggested Wilde Bar & Restaurant as the first stop for their Lincoln Park engagement session. After cocktails at Wilde, we headed to the pond near Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. The trees had just started to come back to life, and things in the park are actually green. I’ve shot all over Lincoln Park but we managed to find a small hill with some nice light…
