Tijana reached out to me back in January after finding me on Pinterest. She and Aleks are getting married in Michigan – but they wanted to do some engagement photos in the Windy City, as well. During this gorgeous engagement session, they told me how their love story started a few years ago at a […]

Taylor + Joe started dating in high school, and they’ve never looked back. They beat the long-distance relationship struggles through college and grad school… and they’ve found a way to spend quality time together despite Taylor’s hectic work schedule (Taylor works as an Athletic Trainer at North Central College in Naperville). I’ve known Taylor for […]

I have an addiction. A serious obsession.  I just can’t get enough details. Beautiful florals, vintage china, food whose presentation is just as amazing as the taste. I love it all. And Chicago Event Planner Christine Janda at A Perfect Event knows how to pull them all together. I worked with her on a beautiful Asian […]

Jenny + Kevin met in PT school at St. Louis university. They started dating when they were abroad in Italy – which is where they’re going to return for their honeymoon. During the session, Jenny told me it was the perfect spot for them because their favorite thing is wine and Italian food. Which is probably […]

Nandy, Kiran, and myself met at Olive Park a few weeks back on a chilly, and I mean CHIL-LY Saturday morning. The two have been dating for a few years and got engaged a little while ago. Kiran lives in Indiana and Nandy lives in Chicago and their wedding is going to be in New […]
