Drea Family

The other week I met up with the Drea family for some portraits at St. James Farm. Their 4 year old son Stanley has autism and he was really into exploring at the park and playing with the fallen leaves on the ground. I had so much fun hanging out with them for a short time and taking their portraits!

Morgan and Dan

A few weeks ago Morgan and Dan got married on a gorgeous autumn day surrounded by their immediate family and close friends. Because of Illinois’ restrictions they had to do a last minute venue change but I am all for lodge weddings out in the country and LaSalle Manor was the perfect place to have an intimate wedding! This wedding was amazing in so many ways and a few highlights are the Pullman train car the bridesmaids got ready in, all the beautiful bouquets and the floral backdrop for the ceremony, the chocolate chip cookies Morgan’s grandma made, the olive tree they planted together during their ceremony and the wood-fired pizza for dinner. Thank you to Morgan and Dan for having me be a part of their wedding. Plan B (or C?) turned out to be perfect!! -Jake
