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.

Photographing Missy & Danny’s wedding was an absolute blast from start to finish. From the moment we met, they brought an infectious, joyful energy that made everything feel easy and natural in front of the camera.

Nicholas and Edward’s wedding day had everything I love about photographing weddings in Chicago — emotion, humor, incredible energy, and moments that couldn’t be planned if you tried.

Kennedy and Matt’s August wedding at Mae District was the perfect blend of modern elegance, heartfelt emotion, and an unforgettable celebration. Their personalities—laid back, fun, and deeply in love—shone through in every detail of the day.

Jennifer & Joe’s brunch wedding at Cheney Mansion in Oak Park was the perfect blend of elegance and ease. Cheney Mansion is one of my favorite venues in the Chicago area for intimate weddings — with its historic vintage charm, beautiful gardens, and natural light-filled spaces, it offers a little bit of everything in one place.

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.

I’m still smiling thinking back to Kayla and Phillip’s wedding day this past fall. These two are such a fun, easy-going couple, and their wedding was the perfect reflection of their personalities—boisterous, heartfelt, and full of surprises. I’ve photographed plenty of weddings at the Harold Washington Library over the years, but this one stands out for so many reasons. It was one of those days that made me grateful all over again for what I get to do.

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.

Some weddings radiate pure joy, deep tradition, and an undeniable sense of fun—and Marissa and Troy’s wedding was exactly that. Their love story, spanning over a decade, brought them from Marquette University in Milwaukee to the vibrant city of Chicago, where they’ve built a life together. They tied the knot in a celebration that beautifully blended Armenian customs with a vintage, rustic aesthetic, creating an unforgettable day for everyone involved.

I want to take this opportunity to reflect on the past year and share some of my favorite images. Both 2021 and 2022 were full of big changes for myself and my family. I married my beautiful wife Claire in 2021, bought house in 2022, fixed up that house, then moved and welcomed our equally beautiful and amazing son Arthur into the world.

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!

Today, I want to share with you an incredible wedding that I had the privilege of photographing. Meet Priya and Jeff, a couple whose love and resilience really shone through on their special day, even when the weather seemed determined to get in the way.
