Michelle and Scott

Michelle and Scott were married a couple of weeks ago, surrounded by nature, loved ones, and the beauty of Lake Katherine in Palos Heights, IL. The weather was perfect, and everything felt still and peaceful. During their ceremony beneath the trees, the nearby waterfall seemed to embrace their love.

It was an honor and a blessing to be part of their day and to capture their memories through my lens.

Congratulations, Michelle and Scott!

Cathy and Jim

Cathy and Jim tied the knot a couple of weeks ago on a gorgeous, sunny May afternoon in Clarendon Hills, IL. Backyard weddings like this one are such a joy to photograph—there’s something about that laid-back vibe that makes everything feel extra special. The kids were running around, tossing balls, bouncing on the trampoline (and I swear I saw one of them shaking up a bottle of soda during the first dance—chaos in the best way).

Their ceremony was sweet, intimate, and full of love, officiated by a few of their closest friends. It was such a gift to be there, camera in hand, witnessing it all unfold. Thank you, Cathy and Jim, for inviting me into your beautiful day!
