Stephanie and Ben's Art Institute of Chicago Wedding

I had so much fun photographing Stephanie and Ben's wedding with Ryan just a couple of weeks ago! This beautiful couple got ready at the Palmer House on East Monroe before their ceremony at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral.  The McKinlock Courtyard at the Art Institute of Chicago was an amazing place to shoot, and I am thrilled to be able to share a few of my favorite photos of their wedding with you! Enjoy!

Allie and Lane's Wedding

Allie and Lane's wedding is one that I have been meaning to get up on the blog for weeks!  I am thrilled to finally be able to share it with you. Allie and Lane had an amazing day, and a gorgeous outdoor ceremony!  Their wedding was a perfect combination of their heritage and their own unique personal touches.

Please enjoy a few of my favorite photos from their day:

Chris and Sarah's Chicago Wedding

Sarah and Chris had an absolutely beautiful day for their wedding!  They were married at the gorgeous Fourth Presbyterian Church in Downtown Chicago.  After their intimate ceremony, we went to a few locations around the city for some portraits before ending up at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers for their amazing reception. I really enjoyed working with Chris and Sarah.  They were so easy to photograph and really let me pull together my vision for their wedding.

Please enjoy a few of my favorite photos from their day!

Stephanie and Eric's Engagement Session

Working with our amazing clients is always a pleasure -- but it's not often our whole family gets to mix business and pleasure :)  This time, however, was the exception!  Stephanie and Eric wanted to do their Engagement photos in Saugatuck, MI and offered to put our little family up in a cabin while we were there.  So we were able to have a little summer family get away! We had so much fun, and our son, Graysen, had an absolute blast at the beach!

We started Stephanie and Eric's session in downtown Saugatuck, and hit up all the local hotspots. Including Kilwin's for some ice cream -- a necessity because we were shooting on the hottest day of the year so far :)  We also went to the place where Stephanie and Eric got engaged (perfect) and ended the day on beautiful Oval Beach!

Here are a few of our favorites from their session!

It was so fun working with you guys!

We can't wait for your wedding next year!!

Anna and Tim's Wedding

It's awesome couples like Anna and Tim that make me love doing what I do!  Anna and Tim had such  an amazing day and I was so glad to be able to share it with them - capturing it all on film. Anna and Tim were married in Kildeer, at the Kemper Lakes Golf Club.  Their outdoor ceremony was perfect, and the harp music was beautiful!!

Their wedding had so much detail and we loved their candy bar at the reception!

Here are a few of my favorite images from their day:
