I met Hilary and Ryan at their apartment downtown. The roof deck had some amazing views of the city, so we started off the day there. We went all around and ended up with a well rounded shoot of the city. They are super fun and their playful attitudes helped to capture some great shots. I can't wait to shoot the big day!

Chris and Bob's day started with Chris getting ready at the Sofitel and Bob at their condo. Chris had this cool vintage feel to her whole look that I really liked topped off with some awesome red shoes. Bob of course looked great. Their ceremony was at New Leaf in Lincoln Park and was upstairs in this cool little room. After was cocktails downstairs and out in the beautiful courtyard. They had a Mac & Cheese buffet which was amazing. We got a few minutes out front for some fun shots with Chris and Bob then back in for dancing. The whole day was very cool and we had an awesome time!

Deena & Andy's day started off at Deena's parents house in Chicago and at Andy's place in Bloomingdale. The girls did their hair and make up and looked pretty while they guys had a blast shooting off fireworks and being guys. The ceremony was at St Daniel the Prophet Church. Afterwards we went to Cantigny Park for pictures. That place was awesome to shoot at. There were so many amazing spots to choose from. Next we headed to Abbington Banquets for the reception. The night was pretty wild so we had some great photo ops all night. We loved working with Deena and Andy, they're an awesome couple.

Justine & Mike's session started out at their apartment in the West Loop. From there we hit some other fun spots in the area. Then we headed up to Lincoln Park to have some of their favorite treat in the world, Ice Cream. We had a random kid show up and try to get a taste, he was the highlight for me ;) We ended by the lake for some beautiful shots of the sun setting over the city.

We started off the day at Lisa and Mike's apartment in Wicker Park. We played around with a few places near their apartment and then headed downtown to some fun spots. They were so awesome to work with and their easy going attitudes made for some great shots. A personal favorite was standing on the LaSalle St. bridge with the Chicago River in the background. We closed out the day to the setting sun on the lake with the city illuminating the evening sky.

Beth & Trace started off with getting ready pictures at the Palmer House downtown. They saw each other for the first time at the south gardens of the Art Institute. Such a perfect spot for it. Then we took some pictures around the city of them and the wedding party and met up with the families at a park. The ceremony and reception were at the Art Institute. The reception was in the center courtyard which was outdoors and somehow it managed to stay an amazingly perfect temperature all night. They had such a great vintage feel and everything was done extremely well. It was truly a beautiful wedding. We really loved working with them and hope they have a blast at this new life together!

Nichole and Jimmy had their wedding at the Allerton Mansion in Monticello, IL (near Champaign). It's an amazing place, the grounds are just so beautiful with so many great spots to shoot. The hard part is there's never enough time to go everywhere. The ceremony was outside in one of the gardens and the reception was in the Mansion. The day had a very classic vintage feel and their unique style complimented the location. We had a great time shooting and finding cool spots. We wish Nichole and Jimmy all the best!

I've known Jessica and Tyler for a few years and I was honored when they ask me to shoot their wedding. They have a mix of styles so we got to explore some funky places as well as the classic city scape. We found a graffiti wall to start of the session, and then made our way to North Avenue Beach and downtown. They have a playful chemistry that makes taking pictures easy and I think the wedding day will be a blast!

Krystal & Al's day started off at the Sheridan Hotel in the Loop where they got ready. After that we had some time for pictures so we went to the Art Institute, got rained on a little but the rain quickly stopped so we could shoot. The ceremony was up in Rogers Park at St. Ignatius Church which is a beautiful old building. After that we headed to Navy Pier for some more pictures and the reception which was at the Crystal Ballroom.

Ruth & Steve's day started out with everyone getting ready at the Renaissance Hotel in Schaumburg. That's a really fun hotel to shoot in. The architecture is modern and beautiful. We had a blast. We had some time before the ceremony so we found a great field to shoot the wedding party and couple in. Then we headed over to the First United Methodist Church of Arlington Heights. The highlight of the ceremony for us was the funny uncle trying to steal all our shots and then almost falling off a chair during the ceremony. We were quietly cracking up! The reception was back at the Renaissance Hotel, we had a little bit more time to get some more fun stuff of Ruth & Steve and the wedding party. The reception was great, everyone was just so nice and fun. I think it helped having shot Ruths brothers wedding a couple years ago. We couldn't be happier for Ruth and Steve, hope they live happily ever after!
