I was so incredibly honored when my cousin-friend, Tiffany (long story short… we’re not really related, but we grew up together because our parents are friends) asked me to be one of her maid of honors. Rarely do I get to experience this side of weddings. I’m the wedding photographer. Not the bride, not the […]

DIY chicago wedding shower. | homemade favors.

After having an absolute blast with Karen + Garth during their Naperville engagement session back in June, I had been looking forward to their Chicago wedding with much anticipation. And when the beautiful day in August finally came – I couldn’t have been more ready. I started the day off with Karen at the Palmer House Hotel where I […]

It was a quick Friday night event, filled with Indian food, bright colors, mehndi hand painting, and big smiles from Payal, Justin, and their families. The night before the wedding, Payal + Justin had me join them in a little Indian tradition at the Fox Run Golf Links in Elk Grove. I got to meet both of […]

August’s Moment of the Month was a no-brainer. It was literally the BEST Maid of Honor Speech I have ever seen. And that comes from a girl that goes to a lot of weddings, hears a lot of fantastic speeches, even cries during the majority of them – but this one? It takes the cake. […]

best maid of honor speech | moment of the month – August.

The months have just been flying by these days. Every month, I write this blog post. And each and every time I am astonished as to how fast 30 (or 31) days goes by. Seriously. It never fails. I blink, and the month is over. This time I blinked and apparently the summer is almost […]

july goals recap. | what i want to do in august.

Shooting with JordanQuinn Photography over the past (almost) two years has brought me nothing but fun, exciting, and new learning experiences. This was no different. I had photographed some smaller scale Indian events over the past two years on my own, but Neha + Arpit’s wedding took everything I knew to a whole other level. Multiple days, […]

What better way to celebrate 30 years of marriage than reigniting the flame during an anniversary photo session… the only thing that made it even better for Joanne + Mick?  The fact that this was a gift given to them by their thoughtful and generous children, Brittany and Ashley. How sweet and meaningful! I photographed […]

joanne + mick’s 30th anniversary photos | chicago.

This past Sunday, I was lucky enough to be a part of one of my best friend Sammie’s beautiful Wedding Shower at Villa Brunetti in Franklin Park. While I may have been to dozens of weddings over the past two years, somehow, this was my first wedding shower. True to form, Sammie made sure to incorporate tons […]

When it’s my client’s idea to do an engagement session at 5am on the beach so we can catch the sunrise… I know she’s my type of bride. Why would I want to get up at 5am? Anything for beautiful photos, right? Maybe that’s a sign that I’m in the right profession, because I can […]

Even though Melissa + Jasper live in Greenville, SC… their love started in Chicago 9 years ago, so they decided to celebrate their 3-year anniversary in the Windy City. I think I had way too much fun running around the city with these two. I barely had to direct them as they were so into […]
