Lauren and Sean

Last month I had the honor of photographing Lauren and Sean’s amazing fall wedding at the unique Charcoal Factory Loft in Chicago. We started off the day with some getting ready shots at their condos followed by a first look at Ward Park. We then took a trip to the Chicago River for some bridal party portraits with Chicago as a backdrop before heading to Charcoal Factory for their ceremony. Their short but sweet ceremony was held in the courtyard and afterwards they had food trucks and dancing! Ending the night with a sparkler tunnel is good way to go! Thank you Lauren and Sean for having me photograph your wedding!! Jake

Audrey and Will

Audrey and Will got married a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful Hyatt Lodge in Oakbrook. After some getting ready photos and a first look with Audrey’s dad they did a first look, vow exchange and some portraits in the woods across the street. Their ceremony was held on a patio that overlooked the lake that’s right next to the hotel and was followed by an intimate reception that was designed and coordinated by the fabulous Molly Masters of Jam Wedding Productions. Thank you to Nick Holstein who helped me out as second shooter. And thank you to Audrey and Will for having us capture their wedding day!

Emilie and Ralph

Chicago has a special place in the hearts of Emilie and Ralph and they took many dates to watch the Cubs play at Wrigley Field. So when they got engaged it was natural that they wanted to do their photos at Wrigley Field. They booked a tour and as the tour was progressing I took their portraits in different spots around the stadium. After the tour we took a quick trip to North Ave beach for some beautiful view of the city skyline. It was such a memorable session and I’m happy Emilie and Ralph chose me to capture this time in their lives!
