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 […]
Kristen & Derek- Danada House wedding
When Kristen and Derek are around each other they have a hard time paying attention to anything else. They smile, they blush, they stare, they touch. They are completely love-struck, and everyone loves them for it. Being the truly wonderful people that they are, their wedding was full of joyful tears and laughter from both […]
Monica & Ben- Salvage One engagement
It’s hard not to love Salvage One, in fact the interior impressed Monica and Ben so much that they chose it for their wedding location AND their engagement photos. I was like a kid in a candy store… beautiful space and a beautiful couple- pretty freakin’ perfect! Monica looked stunning, and Ben cleaned up quite […]
Hillary and Matt- Sky Blue Sky
Whether it was the warm summer days or the good music floating along the breeze, taking a job at the Ravinia a few summers ago turned out to be a very good decision. As Wilco jammed on stage there was a new love blossoming, Hillary and Matt were falling for each other. They are a […]
Kristine + Steve- Part 2
I had to share a few more photos of Kristine and Steve… we met up for a second time to get a few more photos around downtown as the sun set, the results are great! Can’t wait to celebrate with these two! I love these colors, Kristine picked out terrific outfits. It was the perfect […]
Kristine + Steve- Love and Peppermint Lattes
Kristine and Steve are really special, they treasure each other immensely and the time spent with one another. It seems fitting that when Steve prepared to ask Kristine to marry him, he wanted to go above and beyond. He had been very creative with their first date, so this had to be really great… when […]
Danielle + Patrick- Venue Six10 Wedding
“Home is wherever I’m with you,” is the best description of these two. All of the wedding day gitters and stress melted away as soon as they saw each other. When you meet the right person all of sudden you start seeing the world through rose colored glasses, and this beautiful couple is no exception. […]
Susie + Shaun- Love is in the details
Young love is a beautiful thing… it is innocent and unassuming, and is not accompanied by judgement or previous experience. Who knew that Shaun’s little brother would introduce him to the perfect mate, a woman to spend the rest of his life with, to play “doctor” and “house” with. While Shaun busied himself with medical […]
Tess and Nate- You know you love it!
I have the best job… I spend my time getting to know truly amazing couples like Tess and Nate. I know it sounds cheesy, but sometimes I fall in love with my clients. It’s so exciting to see two people who love each other so much, and whose joy is contagious. Tess and Nate had […]
