I photographed Ben and Vanessa's beautiful outdoor wedding at Rancho Los Guzman on a quiet October Sunday afternoon. I had such a great time at their reception at Rancho los Guzman hanging out with horses and dancing with a live band. I love that their dogs Barry and Bonnie were a part of the events as well. Congratulations Ben and Vanessa and thank you for having me be a part of your wedding day!

Erica and Jorge's vintage style wedding ceremony took place at the scenic Holy Name Cathedral in downtown Chicago, Illinois. It's such a beautiful place to get married! Afterwards, we went around Chicago for some portraits at Kinzie Street Bridge, Chicago Board of Trade, and the Chicago Union Stock Yards. We also made a spontaneous stop at Rate Field for some White Sox photos. Their reception was held at Bella Luna where the mezcal was extra tasty and the music played by a violinist was sublime. Congratulations Erica and Jorge!

Vanessa and Adrian got married over Labor Day weekend in downtown Downers Grove at the First Congregational United Church of Christ. They had their friend's pups be the flower girls who were so excited to be in the wedding. Their reception took place at Hotel Baker in St Charles, Illinois where we did all of their portraits. It's a such a classy (and supposedly haunted) place to have a wedding reception. I love that Vanessa's grandpa said "hi" by sending a Blue Heron to the Fox River. I am grateful the Vanessa and Adrian chose me to photograph their wedding day. Thank you so much to Sammy Callahan for being my second photographer again!

Roxanna and Nick's wedding took place a couple of weeks ago at St Mary's of the Angels in Chicago, Illinois. This church is a stunning place to get married and the cathedral takes your breath away. I love that Roxanna and Nick took off in a vintage car on their way to their reception which took place at Mon Ami Gabi in Lincoln Park. What a beautiful day for a wedding! Congratulations Roxanna and Nick!

I recently had the honor of photographing Michelle and Morgan's gorgeous July wedding at The Farmhouse venue in Plainfield, Illinois. Everything was picture perfect and I had so much fun creatively exploring and using all the different places the Farmhouse had to offer for portraits. I also have to mention I had a blast photographing their reception. Michelle and Morgan know how to have a good time! A huge thanks to Michelle and Morgan for having me be a part of their day!

Mary Kate and Noah's beautiful outdoor summer wedding took place at one of my favorite venues called Armour House in Lake Forest, Illinois. Their ceremony was held in front of the pond on the lawn. I love the dramatic and long processional to the ceremony. It always seems to create an air anticipation for the vows. Their reception was held directly afterwards surrounded by the gorgeous marble interior of the Armour House. I'm not always able to stay to the very end of the night but I had so much fun sending Mary Kate and Noah off with a sparkler exit. Huge thanks to the amazing Sam Callahan for being my second photographer at this event.

Caitlin and Paul's picture perfect wedding ceremony took place at the gorgeous SS. Cyril and Methodius Church in Lemont, Illinois. Their reception was held directly afterward nearby at Cog Hill Golf Club. As soon as we got to the golf club, we took a ride in a golf cart for portraits in front of their barn on the golf course before getting the wedding party involved (they were happily partying on the bus). Caitlin and Paul's reception decor was so pretty and I had a blast capturing the night's events. Here's a few of my favorite photos from their wedding day. Huge thanks to Sam Callahan for photographing with me and creating such amazing photos! Make sure to check out Sam's website: https://samcallahanphoto.com/
