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.

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.

After a year so full of uncertainty and worry, I wanted to reflect on the work I was able to create, and the people who so graciously allowed me into their lives. I cannot express the gratitude I feel for the clients who stuck with me during a extremely difficult time in the wedding industry.

Wanted to share Kathleen & Scott’s engagement photos since their original wedding date was last weekend. True for all of my couples, the pandemic is the last thing any of us expected. Grateful I was able to capture their fall engagement session last year, and I’m looking forward to the day when we can all celebrate again.

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.

Terry & Mike's engagement session included a few "first's."   First engagement session of 2017, first session I've done at Starved Rock State Park, and the first same sex engagement session I've ever photographed.  They were an absolute joy to work with.  Starved Rock means a great deal to them, so I was happy accommodate.  I vacationed there growing up, so I remember how beautiful and unique the landscape is.
