Melissa + Brad are the perfect example of a couple that made lemonade out of a lemon of a year in 2020. When they were forced to postpone their full wedding celebration due to Covid, they still got married on their original wedding date with close friends and family and an intimate outdoor dinner, and […]

Jeannie + Chris wanted to keep their engagement session low key and true to their real life – OUR FAVORITE kind of sessions! We started in their Wicker Park home to snap a few photos with their pup, then ventured out into the neighborhood to make some of their favorite stops along the way. We […]

Elise + Nathan got married last year on one of the rainiest, gloomiest days of 2021. There was flash flooding on the expressway, which caused major delays for all the guests getting there. But if you looked at Elise + Nathan’s faces, you couldn’t tell a single thing went wrong. They took it all in […]

Vincent + Nguyen were supposed to get married in Hawaii, but the pandemic had different plans for them. Instead, they had an epic wedding celebration on their rooftop that featured the Chicago skyline, custom florals flown in from Hawaii, and family on zoom/Facetime. Our team had the BEST time celebrating with them… they even got […]

Let’s go back to warmer days as we’re in the heart of winter… this one with Brittany + Pat was one of the hottest weddings of 2021… so hot that we only did portraits outside and in the shade under the bridges for 15 minutes before we just couldn’t take the heat anymore – but […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – these micro-weddings were something special. I know it’s not a popular opinion, especially for those couples that had to postpone their weddings in 2020 due to the pandemic, but every single couple that either decided to move forward with a small wedding or had a […]

2020 was anything but ordinary. While most of our couples postponed their wedding celebrations to 2021 and 2022, there were still some couples that  found a safe, socially distant way to get married during the pandemic, and saved the big party for next year. Well ‘next year’ is finally here – we’re celebrating Alyssa + […]

Catching up on blogs from last summer… this one was in the heart of the pandemic! Stacy + Pete, like many of us during lock down, needed to get out of their place for some fresh air often – which landed them in the LA Fitness parking lot next to their building. They spent many […]

Like most couples in 2020, Sarah + Butch were forced to postpone their big wedding reception and have a smaller, micro-wedding. The Gwen proved to be the perfect location for this, as their suite has an open air balcony for the ceremony, and guests were able to enjoy the wedding safely, outdoors, and with an […]

To help explain how this engagement session went, let me quote Murphy at the end of the session… here’s the scene – we’re on North Ave. Beach taking the last few shots of the 2-hour session, when we see another couple taking their engagement photos nearby. I keep photographing Emily + Murphy when I hear […]
