A blog of our current photography work.
Sarah and Bill got married a couple of weeks ago at the stylish FireHouse Chicago. They had their first look in front of the giant old school firehouse doors in front and then we walked around the venue taking advantage of all the opportunities presented to us for portraits. It was an absolute pleasure spending a couple of hours capturing their ceremony and hanging out with their family and friends for cupcakes and champagne. Congratulations Sarah and Bill! I can’t wait to see you again next year! -Jake
Tim and Lina had their wedding a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful Willowhaven Nature Center in Bourbonnais, IL. It was raining like crazy all morning and right before the ceremony started it stopped. It was still pretty wet out so they had their ceremony in the patio. I was cracking up that the ring bearer was driven in a battery powered car and the flower girl tossed her entire basket of petals on the ground. After the ceremony Tim, Lina and I went around the park to do portraits and the sun peeked out of the clouds for a few minutes. They were so easy to work with and I had a blast photographing their wedding day! -Jake
Amanda and Bryan met and got engaged at Pub 64 in downtown Sycamore, IL so it was only fitting that we did some engagement photos there, too! Starting the session with beers in hand is a good way to start photos if you ask me. After we had some fun at the pub we found a few spots around Sycamore and I have to say these were some of the nicest alleys I’ve ever photographed in. And we couldn’t forget to do some portraits with their rescue dogs. All in all it was a great photo shoot! -Jake
Cameron is a High School senior and I met up with her for portraits at Cantigny Park the other day. It was a beautiful evening and I had so much fun doing photos for her. She’s on the Naperville swim team and we had to get a few photos of her with her letter jacket. I wish her a great senior year!
I started my career in professional photography around 15 years ago and, at the time, my main focus was High School senior portraits. Over the years I leaned more into weddings and family portraits but doing Cameron’s portraits brought back memories of why I liked doing senior portraits so much at the beginning. So, if you know anybody who needs there senior portraits taken send them my way!
