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.

Hannah and Brian’s wedding at the Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park over Labor Day weekend was the perfect celebration of love, tradition, and joyful energy. These two are not only sweet with each other but have a fun-loving spark that you could feel throughout the day. More than anything, they wanted their wedding to be an incredible time for their friends and family — and it absolutely was.

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!

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

I had an absolute blast working with Missy & Danny! They brought so much fun energy to their engagement session and wedding day that honestly they were easy to photograph. I also really appreciated their overall mindset on the day. They started from a place of love and authenticity, and simply wanted their family and friends to come together and celebrate. Everything outside of that was secondary.

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.

My final wedding of 2018 could not have been with a better couple. Kate & Kris were simply a joy to work with, from the engagement session to their wedding.

I had a fantastic time capturing Laura and Victor’s colorful engagement session. Since then, I couldn’t wait for their summer wedding at Carnivale Chicago.

Photographing Jenna & Brandon’s London House Chicago wedding was a blast. Brandon being an active member of the U.S. Marines, they have traveled and lived all over the world, but their wedding was a Chicago classic. Their design incorporated lots of white with pops of red, a military inspired ceremony led by their uncle who served in the Navy, and a cake cutting moment with a marine sword that was a lot of fun to capture.

I recently had the distinct honor and pleasure to document Sonali & Prithvi's wedding ceremonies.  If you're not familiar with Indian / South Asian weddings, they are exceptionally fun multi-day events, steeped in tradition and full of color. 

Lauren & Brad are one of my favorite couples. I had a wonderful time photographing their wedding and they’ve been incredibly generous and gracious to me in the years since.

After photographing Melanie and Seth’s engagement session, I had a feeling their Loews Chicago Hotel wedding day was going to be filled with the best energy.
