Gianna and Zeke’s engagement session at the stunning Chicago Art Institute was PERFECT! We somehow managed to have the whole South garden for ourselves and their love truly shone amidst the beauty of the art and architecture. 💖
We can’t wait for their big day at the Chicago Illuminating Company with Big City Brides! It’s going to be a magical celebration in the heart of the city! 🌆💍
Congratulations you two!

Read MoreElegant, classic and chic are three words that sum up Margaret and Patrick’s stunning wedding celebration at the iconic Drake Hotel! Margaret looked like a vision in her beautiful and timeless gown from White Dress Bridal Boutique and Patrick’s reaction when he saw her come down the aisle had us in tears! One of our favorite features was the ice sculpture of the Chicago skyline! We are so grateful to work with such amazing couples and their families! Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek!

Read MoreThe Exchange in Chicago was on our bucket list since it opened and we were so thrilled to serve such a wonderful couple at such a gorgeous venue! Collin and Cristina’s wedding started at the Palmerhouse Hilton where they each shared a relaxing morning with their closest friends and family. We then headed to the stunning ballroom where they had their emotional first look! We then headed out for portraits at some of our favorite locations including the formal gardens and the Chicago riverwalk. So much beauty was created even before the ceremony began! Collin and Cristina could not wipe the smiles off their faces from beginning to end and we are so excited to share a sneak peek of their day! Congrats you two!

Read More2022! What a year for weddings! As we do every year, we tried to round up the “BEST” of 2022 but what a challenge! We had the opportunity this past year to capture love across the globe - from Miami, to Beverly Hills, to Napa Valley, to the Amalfi Coast, to Paris, to the Santa Ynez Valley, to Michigan, to St. Louis and of course in our beloved Chicago! We wish we could share each and every one of the stunning weddings we captured but here is a small glimpse of the some of the magic!
We are forever grateful to do what we love and looking forward to an even more incredible 2023!
