{Yiming and Justin: A Snowy Engagement}

As I headed out to meet with Yiming and Justin it started to snow… it snowed and snowed, then snowed some more. But that didn’t deter us! They were getting ready for their wedding in China at the end of this month so they really wanted some Chicago photos. Although chilly temperatures and melted snow […]

{Kristie+Jun: A Courthouse wedding}

There’s nothing better to remind you what it’s all about like a simple courthouse wedding. You+Me=We!  Kristie and Jun decided they were ready to get married, but wanted to skip the wedding. So to the courthouse we went! I was so glad they contacted me to document this awesome day, it was incredibly special to […]

{Caroline & Sean}

They had me at “Oasis.” Not only are these two adorable and funny, but as Sean spoke about his favorite band and the three of us ordered a round of drinks I knew I was in for a treat. They tease and finish each other’s sentences, they laugh often and like to cuddle. Caroline talked […]

{Alissa+Mark: A Newsworthy Engagement}

Alissa and Mark have a lot of charm, not to mention sparkling smiles and amazing personalities. In fact, when Mark looks at Alissa with a grin and a twinkle in his eye, you can tell they are TV material (he is a news anchor for WAND, he went all-out with the proposal and popped the […]

Just a little teaser… when you have a gigantic bridal party why not have some fun? Or in this case… a LOT of fun! Congrats Kristy and Matt! 1…2…3…4… And then things got a little crazy…

Kate and Jimmy

These two have found the winning ticket! Not only were they troopers to venture out on a very cold day for our engagement session, but they politely ignored the pockets-full of tissues and various ugly flu-symptoms that I was suffering that day. I was running a fever and was barely able to talk to them […]

Annie and Fidel- he put a ring on it!

I have known fellow photographer Michael for a few years (his newest project is taking Chicago by storm, Potluck Creative), and when his sister got engaged she gave me a call. I was so excited! Not only are Annie and Fidel adorable (and oh-so-easy on the eyes, not to mention naturals in front of the […]

{Amy+Brandon: Love at the Hotel Allegro}

If there is one person that can talk Brandon into just about anything, it’s Amy. But she didn’t have to talk him into falling for her, he was a goner the moment they met. Tall, blond, blue-eyed, and funny… he was ready to sign up! Their friends are pretty great too, in fact at the […]
