Jess first reached out to me about being her wedding photographer in April of 2014. Over the past year and a half, we’ve exchanged many emails, shot their Engagement Session, and put together the plan to make sure her and Joe’s day went along smoothly. It was a beautiful October day, and I loved seeing […]

Cathy + Tom were meant to meet. They went to high school together for a brief moment, were at a few of the same parties in college, and even after college their paths crossed in their groups of mutual friends. But it wasn’t until late 2013 that Cathy + Tom actually got the chance to […]

Kelly + Chris’ wedding day was full of vintage glamour, over-the-top love, and emotional highs. It was a gorgeous day at St. Clement – where Kelly + Chris both coach together – followed by a beautiful reception at the historic Blackstone Hotel. I won’t say much more because this set of photos – well they’re […]

I met Sarah + Joe at Lincoln Park’s Lily Pond on a perfect summer-fall day. None of us had ever been there before, but they trusted me to adapt and make their session as beautiful as any other location I’d shot a million times. We found gorgeous spots, pops of light, and scenic greenery to set […]

Remember Benny “the Jet” Rodriquez from the Sandlot? The one that all the girls had a crush on growing up? Well Christina met her ‘Benny’ when she was in just seventh grade while riding bikes around the neighborhood like most kids did. She saw her now fiancé, Jimmy, thought he looked like Benny, and immediately […]

It’s not very often that I don’t meet my bride and groom before the wedding day. Usually I meet with my prospective clients in person before signing a contract, we do an engagement session, or at some point before the wedding day grab a cup of coffee or a drink. But, since Erin + Tony […]

Kathleen + Chris met senior year of high school but didn’t begin hanging out until Chris visited U of I to see all his Northside College Prep friends, one of which happened to be Kathleen’s cousin. They immediately hit it off and enjoyed each other’s company, however the timing didn’t really work itself out until Senior Year. […]

Meg + Matt’s Wedding at Floating World Gallery in Lincoln Park was the epitome of an intimate day celebrating their love – surrounded by their favorite people, favorite foods, and favorite photos of themselves during the time of their engagement. Neither Meg nor Matt had a worry in the world that day, except making sure the […]

A few weeks ago, I spent a couple days out of the office to learn from one of the best in the industry – Roberto Valenzuela. I love going to workshops like this because it gives me an opportunity to see things the way other photographers see them. To learn from others. To gain perspective. […]

Where do I begin with these two amazing people? Caitlin + Phong live in D.C. Caitlin’s family is from southern Michigan and Phong’s family is from Vietnam, so when choosing a place for their wedding, they landed on Chicago as a central and easy(-ish) destination to get to for everyone, and it also happened to […]
