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

Julie and David

Julie and David got married a couple of weeks ago at the picture-perfect Ashley Farm in Oswego. I love a good farm wedding, and this spot is truly something special!

We started with a first look at the homestead, then wandered the grounds for portraits with their wedding party. One of my favorite moments? They brought their pugs along for some photos—and yes, they were dressed for the occasion!

A few other highlights from their day:
• The dogs’ adorable wedding attire
• Julie’s playful spirit throughout the day
• David’s bold red carnation at the reception
• Julie’s grandma as the flower girl
• The ring bearer cruising down the aisle in a tiny car
• And the rain? It didn’t dampen the joy one bit

Enjoy these moments from their beautiful day.
Big congratulations to Julie and David!
