St. Gregory is a beautiful church and was the perfect location for Samantha and Job's wedding.

Jana & John's full wedding gallery was sent today, and I wanted to share the signature edit I created for them.

I love creating these special photos for every couple I photograph. St. Joseph's in Joliet is a beautiful church, and was the perfect spot to start creating this epic photo for them. Can you imagine a large acrylic or canvas print of this hanging in their home for everyone to enjoy?

When you own a large, beautiful property, of course you have a "backyard" wedding! I am so glad I was able to capture this amazing time in Danielle and Alec's lives for them.

I am very excited to share a few highlights from Tom and Deb's wedding this past weekend. They found a beautiful location for their small, intimate ceremony before celebrating at their reception with lots of friends. I am also truly honored to have been able to capture these memories for them and welcome Deb and her son, Chris, to our family (Tom is my younger brother).

My studio was filled with cuteness for Evie's 1st birthday cake smash!

Jana and John's wedding day could not have been more perfect. A beautiful church and reception venue (and the best mid-summer weather ever!)

Robyn and Sean's wedding day was beautiful in every way. We had so much fun travelling around Chicago to take creative photos, followed by an amazing outdoor terrace ceremony overlooking Lake Michigan and an amazing reception atop the W Hotel.

It was SOOOO hard to pick just a few sneak peek photos to share from Samantha and Job's engagement session! Super cute couple, awesome location, they brought three great outfits, and we had a ton of fun together. I can't wait for them to see the entire gallery!

A tale as old as time...
The Rialto Square Theater was a magical setting for Elizabeth and Frank's wedding day. They are huge Disney and Star Wars fans and we had so much fun taking photos (even snuck in a lightsaber when she least expected it!)

From the outdoor barn ceremony to the hayride, and all the fun of the reception, Amanda and Joe's wedding was beautiful in every way!
A few sneak peeks for everyone before their full gallery is ready....

Jana & John are an awesome couple who had the perfect location in mind for their engagement session: her parent's backyard! And, of course, that incredible spot with all those trees and a gorgeous swing just happens to be right on the river!
