Amanda and Dave

My heart fills with joy when I see a couple who love each other so much that they laugh and smile throughout their wedding. Amanda and Dave were like that. The whole time they were having fun and it was evident that they were so happy to get married. Their wedding took place a couple of weeks ago at the fantastic Bartlett Hills Golf Club. It’s a perfect place to get married at. Huge thanks to Amanda and Dave and their wedding party who stuck with me for a bunch of portraits out in the wind and had a good attitude the whole time. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate a group of people who are having fun and listen to my directions. Such a good wedding and I wish Amanda and Dave all the best as they enter this new chapter in their lives. -Jake

Emily and Dominic

Congratulations to Emily and Dominic! They got married a couple of weeks ago at a really fantastic venue called Brix on the Fox in Carpentersville. It was a bit windy but at least it was warm for March. We made the best of the weather and their wedding party knew how to have fun. I had such an amazing time spending the day with Emily and Dominic and am excited to share some photos from their wedding! -Jake

Manuel and Brandon

One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is to be a witness and in the presence of couples who are wildly in love with each other. At Manuel and Brandon’s ceremony I remember thinking how palpable the feeling of love was in that room and how great it was to be present for that. You could feel the energy of support held in the cheers of their family and friends after their first kiss. I can’t forget to mention that they included their dog Lu in their ceremony. Lu had the softest ears and was so cute! Manuel and Brandon were such a joy to photograph and made my job so easy. Congratulations to the happy couple!! - Jake

Steven and Kathy

I had the honor of photographing Kathy and Steven’s lovely spring wedding a couple of weeks ago at the Chicago Marriott Southwest in Burr Ridge. It was one of those April days that was raining, then sleeting, and then totally clear in the next moment. Props to Kathy and Steven for being brave and bold to venture outdoors with me for some great portraits on the bridge near the hotel. They were so much fun to photograph and their entire wedding party…well…they knew how to PARTY! It was a great day! -Jake

Emily and Joey

Emily and Joey got married a few weeks ago at the fabulous Artifact Events in the Ravenswood neighborhood in Chicago. The day started with some getting ready pics at the Royal Sonesta hotel followed by a first look on the patio surrounded with a view of Chicago’s skyscrapers. We took a quick ride to Olive Park for some photos with the bridal party who’s energy was off the charts amazing! We finished up with portraits at Artifact Events before their ceremony and reception at the same location. I had a blast photographing Emily and Joey’s wedding and I can’t wait to show them all their photos!
