Baby Ethan
I had the pleasure of photographing Krista and Tim’s wedding a couple of years ago at Architectural Artifacts… now their family has a new member. Meet baby Ethan, what a doll! He inherited his parent’s beautiful blue eyes, and perhaps a bit of his dad’s seriousness (it wasn’t easy coaxing a smile out of this […]
Baby Olivia, take two
One the best, most amazing, perks of this job is maintaining relationships with people by continually documenting the best moments of their lives. What an awesome responsibility! I knew Sara and Matt before Olivia was even a twinkle in their eye, and now she is getting so big! You may remember this little nugget of […]
Elizabeth & Karl, on-stage romance
I love a good story, and these two have quite a doozy. Imagine two actors being cast as man and wife in a play, and then playing the same husband/wife roles in another play, and another… talk about foreshadowing! Maybe the directors saw something they didn’t, and finally Karl made a move and they gave […]
Kristy & Matt- Volleyball and Anniversary Cake
Kristy and Matt met in college while playing together on a volleyball team. After being friends for quite some time, Matt asked her out on a real “date.” They stopped by the delicious Annette’s Italian Ice in Lincoln Park to start things off, Matt must have seen the foreshadowing when Kristy ordered the “anniversary cake.” […]
Trudie+Mark
Trudie is pure grace, she seemed to be walking on air from the beginning to the very end of her wedding day. Mark was overjoyed and could barely keep his contentment from bubbling over. They were so excited to get married, you couldn’t help but get caught up in the moment right along with them! […]
Darlene+Bobby
Sometimes the world is just small enough to make it possible for two people from very different places to meet and fall in love. When this gorgeous Filipino girl met this strapping Bulgarian boy everything fell into place. Even though English is not Bobby’s first language, he knew just the right words to say when […]
Erika+Jim
You never know how you’ll feel on your wedding day. All the excitement rushes to the surface and it’s hard not to be anxious, wedding butterflies are inevitable. As Erika put her dress on she felt them fluttering in her stomach (she was so excited to see Jim!), and even her dad tried to fight […]
Hillary+Matt
“I’m gettin’ married in the morning, the bells are gonna chime, get me to the church on time!…” Hillary and Matt are a fabulous pair… from discussions of music or alternative medicine, to crazy dancing and drinking Malort, these two always have fun. Hillary got ready at the very cool Ruby Room spa, and as […]
Jen+Matt
Jen and Matt have a lot of history together. They have seen each other through the formative years, lots of schooling, and now the launch of their careers. Sticking together as you embark on life’s adventures can create a wonderful foundation for a relationship, Jen and Matt have exactly that. Their bond is unbreakable, and […]
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 […]
