Marybeth and Aaron's Wedding

Marybeth and Aaron had a beautiful ceremony at an amazing venue called Greenhouse Loft in Chicago.  This whole place was filled with natural light and, since they had a brunch wedding, I was able take advantage of the fantastic lighting the whole time.  Marybeth and Aaron got ready at the Talbott Hotel downtown and they did their first look and some portraits around the corner at the 4th Presbyterian Church. We then finished up the portraits at Greenhouse loft before they got married.  Their reception was so much fun and I think literally everybody was on the dance floor at one point.  Also, they did what was probably the best fake out first dance I've witnessed!  Here's a few photos from their day! -Jake

Sarah and Al's Wedding

Love, laughter, and good people.  This wedding had it all. We were so happy to capture these moments with Sarah and Al on their incredible wedding day, and we are honored to have been a part of it.  From their sweet first look, a pit-stop during portraits for ice cream, their sincere and heartfelt vows, to the moves on the dance floor -- this wedding was one for the books.

Take a peek at some of our favorite images from their day!

Angela and Luke's Portrait Session

A couple of weeks ago I met up with Angela and Luke for a few post-wedding portraits in downtown Hinsdale. I love shooting in old downtown areas as I usually find lots of scenes to photograph in.  Downtown Hinsdale is actually where Jennifer and I had our engagement portraits taken and being there brought back some memories!  Here's a few photos from their shoot! -Jake

Allison and Mike's Wedding

Alli and Mike got married on a beautiful (and hot) summer day a couple of weeks ago! I met up with them for a few getting ready shots and their first look at the hotel (a first look between Alli and her Dad, too!) and then we went out to do some portraits at Cantigny Park in Wheaton. We lasted barely an hour in the weather but we were able to take advantage of the park and made some awesome portraits before getting back in the air conditioning.  Their ceremony and reception were both at the Gaslite Manor in Aurora and their day was full of beautiful and memorable moments.  Here are some of my favorite photos from their wedding! -Jake

Lindsay and David's Engagement Session

I met up with Lindsay and David a couple weeks ago for their engagement session in Chicago.  It was an amazing summer evening and we hit up a ton of spots downtown.  We started at the Ohio street beach and went next door for the view at Olive Park.  However, we didn't stop there and walked to Navy pier, took a cab to Millennium Park and finally walked down to the Riverwalk.  It was a fantastic session and I always feel so blessed that I get to capture these small moments of the lives of people in love! -Jake
