Eve and Patrick

On a quiet and serene afternoon in Chicago, Eve and Patrick said their vows in the company of their parents and nature at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool. I felt so blessed to have been a part of their intimate ceremony and to capture the love that they share at one of my favorite settings in Chicago. After their ceremony, we continued on for some portraits at the nature boardwalk just down the street. Congratulations to Eve and Patrick!! Enjoy the photos!! - Jake

Elizabeth and Dewey

I photographed Elizabeth and Dewey’s Chicago wedding on a beautiful September Saturday. We started the day with some getting ready shots at the hotel followed by a private first look and vows before a ton of wedding party photos downtown Chicago. We hit up spots like the LaSalle Street Bridge, Chicago Board of Trade, and Olive Park which are some of my favorites! Their ceremony and reception was held at the fabulous Beatnik Restaurant in West Town. I had such an amazing time with Elizabeth and Dewey and photograph all their love between each other and amongst their family and friends. Congratulations Elizabeth and Dewey!! -Jake

Julie and Eric

Julie and Eric got married a few weeks ago at the rooftop cupola at London House downtown Chicago. It was a sweet and intimate ceremony with just their immediate family and it was followed by a champaign toasts and photos around the city. Some of my favorite pictures were with their puppy at Lincoln Park. Their reception was held at the fabulous restaurant Gibsons Italia right on the Chicago River with all the buildings lit up at night as the backdrop. Thank you Julie and Eric for having me be a part of your wedding day!

Marie and Mike

Marie and Mike had such a beautiful wedding at Meson Sabika a few weeks ago. We were honored to be a part of their day, and truly enjoyed being around everyone present!

Jennifer and Marie both volunteer at Second City Canine Rescue, and we were thrilled that their SCCR Alum, Murph, stood up in their wedding as their ring bearer for their special day.

Marie and Mike’s laughter-filled ceremony was absolutely lovely, and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a dry eye watching them say “I do”!

Please take a look through their gallery for a peek at their day.

All our best!
