{Michelle+Brandon: A Chicago Elopement}
I got my first email from Michelle as they were driving their packed car and two french bulldogs across the country in a move from California to Chicago. She asked me about taking some engagement photos once they were settled in their new apartment, and then a week later said that maybe they might just […]
{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 […]
{Nick & Ricardo: Married at the MCA}
An afternoon wedding on a warm summer day at the Museum of Contemporary Art, what could be better? The morning started out with pouring rain, which gave way to some very steamy weather. But that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits! This day was extra special, the MCA had a daylong “Celebration of Marriage Equality”, hosting 15 […]
{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 […]
{Lori&Pete: Happy}
These two come to mind when I hear the “Happy” song, a sweet joyfulness that’s super contagious (no matter how many times you hear Pharrell Williams on the radio you can’t help but snap your fingers and tap your toes). Even though they still have that wonderful shyness around each other, the kind made of […]
{Sandy+Corey: Married at Osteria Via Stato}
“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” –When Harry Met Sally It all began with beer and Jenga, and now these two are inseparable! Not only do Sandy and Corey love each other to pieces, […]
{Martina+Lester: Botanic Garden Engagement}
Sometimes it makes sense to reschedule… a rainy overcast day one week earlier just wouldn’t have been the same. We waited until the following weekend and were rewarded with moderate temperatures, beautiful golden sunlight as the day started to dim, and the last traces of color on the ground and in the trees before Winter […]
{Brad & Matt: Same Love}
They say, “when you know, you know.” From day one these two “knew.” They had met their match (thanks to match.com!), and their lives were forever changed. Love is such an exciting adventure, it magnifies the highs and helps ease the lows. When you’re in love you see the world through rose-colored glasses, but it’s […]
{Danielle & Paul: Lovesies Forever}
Little Mac and Big Rudy tied the knot! They are two of the cutest people you will ever meet, and their fondness for each other is an amazing thing to witness. They love spending time together and have, in my opinion, fabulous priorities… drinking delicious full-bodied cabernets and bordeaux’s and laughing- A LOT! Not to […]
