Engagement-Tierra & Tyree

Sweetest winter engagement session with Tierra and Tyree!! She brought all the cute little signs and they both brought the love 🙂 And it ended with a coffee date and girl scout cookies…that’s always a great time!!

We loved working with you both! Congrats, Tierra and Tyree 💖

Wedding-Megan & Sterling

This was our first time shooting a wedding at Burr Oak State Park. It’s so calm and peaceful there…even a deer joined the photos! It was the perfect spot for Megan and Sterling to have their wedding. They are both nature lovers. Sterling would tell me what weeds we could take photos in and which ones were poisonous…that’s a good person to have around 😉 So thankful we could spend the day with them in such a beautiful setting!!

Wedding-Angela & Drew

Sweet. Emotional. Fun. Funny. Loving. Special. Kind…. All these words come to mind when I think of Angela and Drew. They embrace each other with such tender love and then they make everyone around them feel that same warmth.

It was a beautiful day at Jorgenson Farm. The flowers were stunning, as one would expect. And on a personal note, they made me feel appreciated and valued. Asking to take a photo with your photographer is a special touch and means so much 🙂

Thank you, Angela and Drew, for being the genuinely sweet people that you are. Sending you hugs and wishing you many many years of happiness together!!

Wedding-Nic & Savannah

A common question that we ask our couples is, “If there is an amazing sunset, do you want us to come tell you? Even if it’s in the middle of the reception?”. Obviously we wait until a formality such as cutting the cake or toasts are done but you get the point 🙂 When we asked Savannah and Nic, we got a big YES for an answer, and wow, did the sky deliver!!

Always a great time with this family and we are so happy we got to spend the day with this super sweet, Fun couple! We had a blast!!

May the party continue for many many years!

Wedding-Megan & James

From the first look at Schiller Park to the wedding at Wolf’s Ridge Brewing, it was an all out fun day with Megan and James! We always tell the couples we work that we are happy to suggest locations or sunset times to get nice photos. But ultimately it’s up to them to do whatever makes them happy on their wedding day. Megan and James were up for “whatever” 🙂 They ran down the street with us to take a photo in a new spot that I had always loved but never had the chance to use. And then again for the most amazing downtown sunset….they were there for it! Thank you, James and Megan, for being awesome!!

Surprise Proposal! Avi + Karen

It was such a joy to see all the effort that Avi put into this surprise proposal and then to watch how happy it made Karen! Friends and family helped with all the details at Franklin Park Conservatory and the after party at Seventh Sons Brewing.

BTW…Karen said YES 🙂 Congratulations to you both and thank you for having us photograph these special moments!

Forrest & Alicia-Married at The Beverly Mansion

What a special day with Alicia and Forrest! The sun was shining and nature was singing 🙂 This was our first wedding at The Beverly Mansion. We loved it. But more than that, we loved working with Forrest and Alicia! To see how they look at each was a pure joy. We are very grateful to have witnessed it!!

Married! Layne & Jordan

We are so thankful that Layne and Jordan asked us to photograph their special day! We have known Layne since she was a little girl and have seen her grow into a beautiful kind woman. So happy she found her Jordan!! They make a sweet pair and I love to see them laugh together. You could feel the love all day from long time friends to close family members. Layne & Jordan….May the two of you always be surrounded with that kind of love every day 🙂

Dana & Mike-Married!

What a joy to see 2 people live in the moment on their wedding day! Sometimes the rush of the day makes it a challenge for a couple to sit back and just take it all in. Mike and Dana let those moments sink in. They were happy to relax with friends and on the other hand, just as happy to run out for a quick photo! They got sun, thunderstorms, a sunset, sparklers, and most of all…each other 🙂

Engaged! Megan & James

What a beautiful spring day for Megan & James’ engagement session! I was so happy to see the trees starting to bloom with colorful flowers. And we even got a little sunset at the end! You know never know what pretty things you will see at Inniswoods Gardens.

Looking forward to celebrating with them real soon for their wedding 🙂
