Read MoreFrom the first time I spoke with Lindsay on the phone, I was super excited about capturing her wedding! Lindsay and Brian flew in from Manhattan to have their ceremony in Chicago, and more specifically, at St. Michael's in Old Town, where her mother and grandmother were also married. After the ceremony, the party moved to 19 East (one of our favorite Chicago venues!) where Food For Thought served international fare from all the countries around the world where the newlyweds have traveled. A wedding centered around travel with thoughtful details? My kind of wedding! The whole day was planned seamlessly by Marquette Events.
Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek!

Read MoreAshley and Nate tied the knot on March 11, 2017 at one of my favorite Chicago loft venus, the Bridgeport Art Center! In addition to boasting some of the most incredible skyline views in Chicago, the open sun-drenched floor plan, is a film photographer's dream!
Ashley and I became quick friends after she contacted me to photograph her wedding. Soon after, Ashley was deployed abroad and in addition to planning her wedding from a distance (with the help of talented Maria from Plum and Ivy!), Ashley had to wait many months before seeing her soon to be husband right before their wedding day. The positive side is that it made the sweet moment they reunited, all the better!
Ashley looked radiant in a Victoria Sodukus gown while her bridesmaids donned navy blue floor length bridesmaid gowns. The succulents in her bridesmaids bouquets and decor were such a unique and beautiful choice! I especially loved the succulent escort cards, which were also gifts for the guests to take home. Guests dined on delicious appetizers and dinner, catered by Jewell Catering.
It was a perfect wedding, filled with romance, emotion and beauty! Thank you for letting us be a small part of your special day and enjoy this sneak peek!
(special thanks to Bonphotage Associate Madeline for beautifully second shooting!)

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 MoreNext summer, we are photographing Chelsea and wedding in Kentucky at a stunning lakeside resort. If they are anything near as photogenic as they were today during their Chicago engagement photoshoot, we don't have a thing to worry about!
Their love and chemistry for one another was infectious and oh...that light!
Congratulations you two! We can't wait for your big day!

Continued love and marital bliss to the two of you!

Read MoreI'm a big fan of elopements. While there is something to be said for the planning and culmination of a big wedding day, there is something very sweet and authentic about a couple in love, without all the hoopla, tying the knot in a beautiful location.
When Gwen and Chris asked me to photograph their elopement along the lake during the golden hour, I was just a wee bit excited! Their sweet ceremony was filled with raw emotion and love and it was truly an honor to be there to photograph their special day!
