Darlene + Bobby
Life is full of surprises, like when this Filipino girl met this Bulgarian guy… love! Their paths crossed in Chicago, and now they call this city home, along with their two adorable pugs. You never know what or who life will bring your way, but when you meet someone that makes your heart do somersaults […]
Kate+Imran- One Love
Kate was so excited to marry Imran she couldn’t wait to put on her dress. In fact when I arrived she answered the door ready to go (an hour early!), blushing and radiant. She couldn’t stop smiling, and the way they both lit up when they saw each other was incredible. These two love each […]
Jesseme & Mike
Mike comes from a family of Irish pranksters, always ready for a good joke and a lot of laughs. It’s hard to keep a straight face when you’re around him and his brothers, much less know when you are being fooled. Jesseme is a no-nonsense girl, she doesn’t fool easily, but nothing lights up her […]
Alexys and David- Lamplighter love
Alexys and David have a special place… it’s not only where they went many times while coming of age, but they met here and he even proposed to her here! And I give David props for his timing- on a beautiful snowy morning he woke her up, got the dogs in the car and drove […]
Pran+Josh
Pran has the most wonderful smile, and she was wearing it all day. (Josh was smiling too, although he hinted that his grin was from thoughts about the honeymoon!) Whether he was whispering words of love or silliness in Pran’s ear, the laughter that followed created some great photo opps… these two were so happy […]
Lena + Ario
These two know how to party. I had the pleasure of meeting Ario at another wedding a few years ago, and I distinctly remember the groom throwing a glass full of water over his shoulder instead of the garter (much to the surprise of the guys standing behind him!). It turns out this was all […]
Ellie + Will
Although they have traded in Cubs games and their Lakeview apartment for the Red Sox and the East coast, Ellie and Will decided to have their wedding back in Chicago. Friends from college, high school, and even grade school gathered with family at the beautiful Fulton’s On the River, a perfect spot to take in […]
Sally + Jesse
“I’ve loved you for a thousand years, and I’ll love you for a thousand more…” Sally and Jesse are the proof that soul mates exist. When around them you feel something bubbling inside, the tickle of a tear at the corner of your eye, and the warmth of a smile. They love with all that […]
Cherie and Henry- Across the ocean
It was such a joy to be contacted by Cherie and Henry, they had a unique situation and wanted to take some photos around Chicago. Henry is originally from Hong Kong but has been living in the states for many years. When he traveled back to visit family a couple of years ago, he fell […]
Lindsay & Philip- Love in a jewelry store
There was something in the air that day when Philip walked into Shelle’s Jewelers. He not only stumbled upon a pretty girl, he met the love of his life, his Aphrodite. Lindsay and Philip have been inseparable ever since, and they vow to remain by each other’s side forever. Sparks fly when these two enter […]
