{Dina+Jim: A Dancer & A Drummer}
These two have some serious history! I met Dina around the time I moved to Chicago 11 years ago (isn’t she gorgeous??!!), she has modeled for me on many occasions and is a natural in front of the camera. She introduced me to Jim at a friend’s wedding and of course I snapped a few […]
{Hey world… meet Jon!}
Photographers are kinda like superheroes… ok maybe not the cape and superpowers part, but we are SO good when we have a great sidekick! And let me introduce you to mine. Whether we are working solo or together, we always have a great time. Jon brings his “A” game and great attitude each and every […]
{My Favorite GIF Animations!}
There is something so fun and whimsical about GIF Animations (Graphics Interchange Format file: a graphic image on a Web page that moves). It’s nice to not take yourself too seriously! Don’t get me wrong, I take my job very seriously. After all, I only have ONE day to capture all the moments, the memories, […]
{MaryEllen+Joe: Chihuahua Karaoke}
We all get a kick over those unexpected, slow-to-blossom, love stories like Jim and Pam in The Office (Sam and Diane, Mulder and Scully). MaryEllen and Joe worked side by side for a couple of years, little did they know that something good was brewing. At some point their shared love for Karaoke and beer […]
{Ashley+Ryan: Love In The Air}
It’s a classic girl meets boy story… but at 30,000 feet in the air. Ryan, a commercial airline pilot, and Ashley, an airline attendant. Whether it was the high altitude, the small spaces, the recycled air, maybe even a shared bag of peanuts (just kidding, but I sure do miss those things!), these two hit […]
{Caitlin+Brian: A Chicago Engagement}
Whether it was the excitement from the flag football game, or the drinks afterwards, Caitlin couldn’t help but notice her cute co-worker Brian. After a few weeks of playing on the team together, some harmless conversation and drinks with friends, they realized there may be more to it (she gave him a hug goodbye without […]
{Julia and Shane are getting married!}
Shane is a good friend of mine, not to mention a damn fine photographer. (Be sure to check him out: Shane Welch Photography) He proposed not too long ago to his gorgeous girlfriend Julia in Puerto Rico, the video is pretty epic (watch it here). We chatted about his wedding plans (after all the weddings […]
{Caroline & Kyler: “Be Awesome”}
The best part about being in love is having someone you can truly be yourself with. They love every side of you, from serious to hilarious, your adorable and even not-so-adorable quirks. “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start […]
{Jessica+Matt: They’re Getting Hitched!}
I have had the pleasure of knowing Jessica’s family for a couple of years (I photographed both of her brother’s weddings! You may remember Jason’s awesome mohawk, click here to refresh your memory), and those Turleys are FULL of personality! Needless to say, I love them all! Jess is no exception, and she will tell […]
{Katie & Greg: A Perfect 300}
Maybe it was the ice cold Coors, or their exceptional bowling skills… the stars definitely aligned the night these two met. Greg is the kind of guy that wants it all, and he bowled a perfect score with Katie! Funny and smart, beautiful and silly, sophisticated and casual, the kind of girl that can appreciate […]
