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 […]
Baby Alec
Diana and Gus met me while attending their friend’s wedding this past February when baby Alec was still itsy bitsy (about 2 months old), and when they decided to have his photos taken they gave me a ring. Not only was I excited to spend time with close friends of Leah and Shawn (because they […]
Ashley + Charles
DJ… please don’t stop the music… An impeccably dressed groom and a gorgeous bride tied the knot. Not only did they turn heads, but when “Charlie 5” came out of retirement and started spinning at the reception the whole room erupted. The day had already been full of excitement and beautiful moments (including a tearful […]
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 […]
Stacie & Vladik- A Risk Worth Taking
After a few unsuccessful dates (or maybe more than a few), Vladik decided to do something bold. He logged into his J-date account and sent a message to EVERY girl with a profile matching his age group, determined to pursue the first person that responded. Guess who sent him a message just minutes later? Not […]
Jaime + Aaron
I have to thank Kara Superfine of Bliss Weddings and Events for introducing me to this adorable couple! Not only do Jaime and Aaron have the best smiles (Aaron is a dentist after all!), but they are very well matched. Her beautiful long hair and fantastic freckles with his boyish charm and blue eyes make […]
Trudie and Mark- Soulmates!
I met Trudie and Mark at the Paris club this past winter during a bridal fair. When they walked by my table we both did a double take, there was something so familiar about them. It’s one of those moments you can’t quite put your finger on, an instant kinship felt with someone you just […]
Baby Frankie
I have a serious soft spot for this family! Not only did I photograph Julia’s wedding last Fall (at which both Dan and Melissa were in attendance, and Melissa was “very” pregnant with baby Frankie), but I also photographed 9 dogs for Julia’s booming dog sitting business. When Dan and Melissa came back to Chicago […]
Jen and Matt- High School Sweethearts
Meeting two people that have been together since high school is pretty special. It’s hard to imagine sticking it out through those awkward years of braces, prom, SAT’s and college applications… but these two did! And they entered adulthood side by side, from living on their own and paying their first utility bill to finding […]
Kristine & Steve- Sunshine and Good Times
Rarely do you meet two people as compatible as Kristine and Steve. They are a beautiful couple inside and out, with gorgeous smiles and hearts of gold. Their wedding was a terrific celebration, all their friends and family were so excited to witness the marriage of these two. From sunny skies at Meyers Castle to […]
