Read MoreThis DRESS!! This first look!! This wedding had literally everything a girl could dream of (cue the heart eyes!) We are obsessed with Elli's fashion choices, from her unique wedding gown to green emerald earrings to blush velvet shoes. Elli spent the morning getting ready at the gorgeous London House hotel before heading to the Chicago Riverwalk for the sweetest first look with her love, Alex.

I keep telling myself that I am going to wait for the film scans before releasing the next wedding sneak peek, but THEN, I go through the digital images and find so many beautiful and heartfelt moments, that I cannot wait (instant satisfaction of being a hybrid shooter!) And so here I find myself again, scrolling through the beauty of Friday, January 20, 2017, when Kathryn and Matt said "I do."
January 20, 2017 may go down in history as one of the most divisive days in this country's history, but I am honored to say that I was fortunate enough to witness the kind of unity amongst humans that ensures that LOVE will always trump hate. Kathryn and Matt's day was beautiful from beginning to end..period.
Read MoreLeah and Kyle both grew up in Wauconda, Illinois and every location they chose for their engagement session has sentimental value. Starting with the ice skating rink they frequent, to the antique shop where Kyle's dad has been keeping his finds collected over a lifetime, to their wedding locations - amongst the pretty cattails in the background of their family's property! Cody, of Bonphotage Photography, had a fabulous time hanging out and exploring the area for their engagement session and we are seriously swooning over their pretty pics! That light! We can't wait for your big day - congrats you two!

Read MoreI knew when James contacted me to capture the proposal he'd been planning to his love Kristin, that this one would be special. Not only had be purchased a *stunning* yellow diamond but he had also arranged to have his mother, Kristin's mother and Kristin's best friend surprise her after the proposal. You'd never know the weather was below 30 degrees based on the happy smiles on this newly engaged couple! After ice skating and stopping for hot chocolate, they headed to Milton Lee Olive Park where Kristin thought they were meeting with one of their friends. Much to her surprise (scroll down for *priceless* surprise face), James dropped to his knee and asked her to be his forever. Of course, she said YES!
Congrats you two! We can't wait to capture your wedding day :)
Read MoreThis power couple can't wait to tie the knot next year and are in the process of deciding between a Chicago or Dubai wedding! We LOVE destination weddings so may be a little biased but either way, we know this photogenic duo will be the talk of the town!
Congratulations you two!
