A blog of our current photography work.
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
Megan and Joe had a beautiful July day to have their wedding ceremony at Fishermen’s Inn in Elburn, IL. It was such an honor to be a part of their celebration and to capture their love for each other. Here’s a few of my favorite moments from their day: how excited Megan’s dad was during their first look, Megan and Joe’s private vow exchange before the ceremony, evening portraits at Fishermen’s Inn as the sun was going down, and Megan’s energetic entrance to the dance floor. Shout out to Megan’s maid of honor Erin for helping me to organize all the photos before the ceremony. :) Thank you Megan and Joe for having me be your photographer. Enjoy the photos!! Jake
Michelle and Michael had the sweetest day for their wedding a few weeks ago. And it goes without saying, that anybody that has a Dog of Honor, are our people!
We had such a fun time hanging out with them, and capturing every moment of their beautiful day. Thankfully, we were able to squeeze in all the portraits with them at the Morton Arboretum before torrential downpours, and had a blast at their reception at County Line Orchard!
We loved being a part of their celebration, and can’t wait to share all of their photos!
Enjoy a little peek at their beautiful day!

Caprice and Ryan got married a few weeks ago in a cute little church in Mokena called Parker Road Bible Church and then partied the night away at CD and Me in Frankfort, IL. We did a bunch of bridal party portraits downtown Frankfort. The weather was sprinkling a bit but the heavy rain held off long enough for us to get all our photos in. Their reception brought back memories because I photographed one of my very first weddings like 15 years ago at that venue. It was awesome to be back there again! It was such a pleasure hanging out with Caprice and Ryan and photographing their beautiful day!
Here’s a list of their vendors:
Ceremony: Parker Road Bible Church
Reception: CD and Me
Food: Ambrosiono's
Hair and Makeup: Hair by Lisa Murphy and Alyson Lee Makeup

This past fall we had the pleasure of photographing Chelsea and John's wedding at the beautiful Dunham Woods Riding Club. It ended up being a rainy day but as I looked around and began scoping the location I knew that I wasn't going to have trouble finding places to shoot. It's an old building with lots of charm! Even though we did the majority of the photos inside that didn't stop Chelsea and John from braving the rain and going outdoors for a few shots. I'm glad they did, too, because they had a really cool red horse barn and some pretty scenery. We had a great time photographing their wedding and we hope we get to shoot at this place again sometime!
Their florist was Jamie from Town and Country, the cake from Sugar Path, and their DJ was Rachel with Toast and Jam.
