Yujia and Andrew

The other week I had the pleasure of photographing Andrew and Yujia’s wedding at one of my favorite venues to work at - Armour House in Lake Forest, IL. It was quite windy out, however, that didn’t stop Andrew and Yujia from getting married on the grounds and having a good time with photos outside. I’m always blessed to work with such amazing couples that are willing to bounce our creative ideas off each other. Here’s a few of my favorites from their wedding! Congratulations to Yujia and Andrew! -Jake

Emily and Kevin

I’m so excited to share some photos from Emily and Kevin’s wedding! It took place on a beautiful June afternoon at Armour House in Lake Forest. When I arrived everything was sparkling and perfectly magical. Emily was so excited and was beaming the entire time she was getting ready. I loved that Kevin brought his dog as part of the groomsmen crew. After their gorgeous ceremony on the lawn they had their intimate reception in the marble hall inside the Armour House surrounded by all the beautiful floral arrangements. Their evening finished with some intense dance moves and an epic sparkler exit. As always Rachel Langlois did a most amazing job as my second photographer!

Erika and Mark

Erika and Mark got married just over a week ago on a beautiful and sunny summer day. Their ceremony was at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Gurnee, IL and they had their reception at the Armour House in Lake Forest, IL.

We love being able to combine our love of making beautiful images, with our love of LOVE!  And Erika and Mark's sweet wedding provided ample opportunity for both. 

Their incredible florals were knocked out of the park, as usual, by Ipomea Floral.  Once again we were just blown away by their stunning designs. 

We loved being a part of Erika and Mark's day, and we hope you enjoy a few of our favorite images!
