Bri + John work downtown and live in the West Loop. As I always tell my couples, let’s focus your engagement session around where you spend your daily lives! So, we spent the session downtown near the riverwalk where they walk home from work, hanging at their condo, and playing pop-a-shot at their favorite bar […]

Jaz + Eric shared a few words about their engagement: “When we moved into our current apartment which has a large, private patio we agreed to finally get a dog (I have been wanting one since we moved in together). I started researching breeds and shelters, all the puppies! I fell for a black and […]

Sam reached out via Instagram and wanted to get some pictures taken of him and his partner, Jamie. Well, we had the best time exploring near the Michigan Avenue area – they let me have creative freedom as we just walked around looking for spots to shoot – completely unplanned. I think the photos turned […]

Kelly + Frank met at work five years ago. Frank started talking to Kelly while he was standing at a friend’s desk, and that was it – they’ve been together ever since. They tied the knot last year at The Dalcy – and it was such a beautiful day. The Dalcy was the perfect venue […]

Can I check it off my bucket list if it wasn’t ever actually on my bucket list? Never in a million years would I imagine I’d get to set foot on WRIGLEY FIELD for a session… stand in center field where the likes of Albert Almora, Dexter Fowler, and even Javy Baez (when he gets […]

  Trent + Todd connected initially on Coffee Meets Bagel where they exchanged some messages. A couple weeks later, Trent spotted Todd from afar at a restaurant they both happened to be having brunch, which reignited the conversation to go on a date. They connected instantly over a couple beers on a fall Sunday afternoon […]

When Alyssa first reached out about having us photograph her wedding – she sent along a photo of her and her fiance, Chris, dancing at their friends’ wedding in 2016, “…also, this is one of my favorite pictures of us of all time…taken by either you or your husband at Danielle and Jim’s wedding…” Reading […]

Cari + Griffin are two dear friends of mine (if you follow me on Instagram @jilltiongcophoto – you might recognize these two faces from our ‘Supper Club’ where we try a new restaurant together every month). Being a part of their wedding day was so very special to us. We got to do what we […]

I ventured out to Palos Park to photograph Michelle + Tom in their home… and the drive was well worth it! These are our favorite types of engagement sessions. Relaxed, in our couples’ homes where they’re in their own, real element… doing things they normally do – drinking coffee, snuggling on the couch, reading books. […]

2019 was a big one for team JTP. It had been years in the making – but it was so incredible to see it all coming together. It was the first year we fully had our team photographers AND videographers going consistently – and we are so excited to see what 2020 and beyond has […]
