Some weddings just radiate joy—and Cody & Matt’s fall celebration at Loft Lucia was exactly that. Stylish, intimate, and packed with emotion and laughter, this wedding was one for the books. The day began at the couple’s newly completed home in Chicago, where they got ready together. I always love when couples help each other get dressed—it creates such a calm, grounding energy to start the day, and in Cody and Matt’s case, it led to some incredibly heartfelt moments.

Emily and Connor’s spring wedding at Café Brauer in Chicago was an unforgettable celebration filled with love, laughter, and stunning cityscapes. From an emotional first look to a high-energy reception, their day was the perfect blend of elegance and fun.

Moriah and Zach's wedding at Artifact Events in Chicago was a beautiful celebration filled with love, laughter, and adventure. I was honored to be a part of this wedding in particular, since I’ve photographed other weddings in the bride’s family in years past.

I couldn't be happier for Colleen & Stuart.  They were simply amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process.  You can view their engagement images here.  Their ideal aesthetic was elegant and modern, and the Thompson Chicago in the Gold Coast was the perfect venue (also one of my favorite places to shoot).  Their day in particular was filled with both laughter and tears, as well as subtle moments and an epic dance party.   I sincerely wish them both the very best!

On a sunny summer day in Chicago, I had the honor of photographing Anne and Eric's wedding. The day started at the couple's home in Ukrainian Village, where the bride was getting ready with her sisters. I love when couples start the day at home, as it allows me to involve their space in their wedding day story. Anne's family was so much fun to photograph, and the first look with her father was a particularly touching moment.

Photographing a wedding is always a unique experience, but when you have a couple as fun and easy-going as Sam & Kirby, it becomes even more enjoyable. As a wedding photographer, capturing the special moments of a couple's big day is a huge responsibility, and I'm so grateful to have been a part of theirs.

Chris and Chereesa’s Adler Planetarium Chicago wedding was filled with unconventional ideas, electrifying color, and so many unique moments.

I’m so appreciative of the heartfelt and genuine looks these two grooms were serving up on their wedding day. As a photographer, I’m always looking for THAT moment, a picture that captures the affection and emotion of the day… and I am proud of how many of those moments I was able to photograph for Chris & Mike.

Alev & Gil were simply wonderful to work with and photograph. They brought an easy going and overall fun attitude to their wedding day, and from start to finish they were full of smiles, laugher and love. It was truly amazing and an honor to witness their traditions, families and communities come together to celebrate!

Sonali & Prithvi's wedding has to be one of the most opulent and extravagant Indian weddings I have ever photographed.  Everything from the mehndi to the sangeet (click here for Part I) to the wedding itself was absolutely stunning.

Adrienne & Kellen were absolutely wonderful to work with and photograph. They 100% planned their wedding during the pandemic, and I’m so grateful to Danielle with Ohana Events for connecting us. We of course first met over Zoom, but as we got to know one another I could tell we were a great match.

It’s a given that I end up going to familiar locations around the city with my clients, but I’m always interested in a place I haven’t been. Adrienne mentioned she lived near Graceland Cemetery and that her and Kellen like to take walks there.
