Ivy Room Wedding // Audrey + Tyler
The Ivy Room is a really awesome place to have your wedding reception. Beautiful decor, moody ambiance and a killer vibe – this wedding had it all. Even the band had an awesome name, Stache – they rocked it!
Obviously Audrey and Tyler looked stunning at their wedding – everything was awesome. Even the anti-Trump protest didn’t slow us down too much. What stood out to me quite a bit was the…

Bucktown Chicago Engagement Photos // Pearl + Ken
Pearl and Kenny met in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood when they moved into the same building together, on the same day!! Crazy I know!! So when they said they wanted to do their engagement session in Bucktown, I was very excited because not a lot of couples choose that neighborhood. This was an awesome chance for us to explore – and explore we did!
We hit the 606, a favorite pub of theirs and…

Why I’m Staying With Nikon Because the D850. Done.
Mexico
We haven’t been on a vacation in over 5 years and it wasn’t until we went to Mexico last week that I realised the truth.
The truth is that I’m a work-a-holic.
It’s so easy to get caught up in starting a business and working it to the bone. While we were in Mexico, I realized how important getting away actually is. For the first time in a long time I was able to sit and talk with my wife…

Chicago Fall Engagement Photos // Saba + Irfan
Saba and Irfan wanted to explore Lincoln Park for their engagement session. This was a great choice because Lincoln Park is very versatile in terms of the kid of feeling I can create there. There’s greenery, skyline, benches, fun architecture and more. The session was awesome, they are both incredibly nice and fun to chat with – we connected instantly. Both were dressed very well, and I’ll be…

Chicago Drake Hotel Wedding // Corie + Jordan
Chicago Drake Hotel Wedding // Corie + Jordan
There’s something to know about Corie and Jordan – they’re really great people. The kind you can chat with or share a beer with and I’ve done both.
They had a pretty great wedding ceremony at St. James Chapel and a reception at the legendary Drake Hotel in Chicago.
There are many things I like about photographing weddings – one is that I am able to witness and document change. When two people…

Rooftop Chicago Engagement Session // Aubyn + Danny
Rooftop Chicago Engagement Session // Aubyn + Danny
I recently got to photograph Aubyn and Danny. We settled on sunrise due to crazy life schedules and it was EPIC! Not only was the sunrise gorgeous but then we explored a bit of their rooftop and created some unique photos. (thanks for the rum + coke Danny! Yum!)
Another big location on their list was their Chicago neighborhood – so we ventured outside and explored. While taking some epic Chicago…

Chicago Engagement Photos // Beth + Anthony
Chicago Engagement Photos // Beth + Anthony
I really like shooting sunset engagement photos in Chicago because I have a chance to experiment and always try to make the bustling city look intimate – as if no one else is here but the couple. This is exactly what I did with Anthony and Beth while we explored the Chicago river bridges and Olive Park.
Being a Chicago engagement photographer means I have to look for the best like possible in…

Morgan’s on Fulton Wedding Photos // Jessica + Bill
Jessica and Bill had their wedding at Morgan’s on Fulton in the West Loop neighborhood in Chicago. The entire reception and ceremony were outside under the night’s stars with beautiful Italian lights overhead – it was an incredibly intimate atmosphere. Morgan’s on Fulton is a bad ass venue with a really great vibe so I was super pumped to be the photographer.
The best part about Jessica and…

Hilton Chicago Wedding Photos // Sarah + Aaron
I’ve been sitting for a while now trying to find the words to describe this wedding. The first thing I want you to know about Sarah and Aaron and their families is when they married each other they also married their families. I hope that tells you something about how close each of them is to their families.
I always try to build a strong and solid connection with my couples because it allows me…

Wes Anderson Inspired Engagement Session in Wicker Park // Kelsey + Mark
Wes Anderson Inspired Engagement Session in Wicker Park // Kelsey + Mark
Kelsey and Mark wanted to do something different – something weird. So we did – we had a Wes Anderson inspired engagement session in Wicker Park – which is a best Chicago neighborhood for weird stuff. First, before the session, we had a quick phone call to discuss some elements that Wes uses in his movies which we wanted to reflect in the session. His use of center weighted composition, color,…

Chicago In-home Engagement Sessions // Jessica + Bill
Chicago In-home Engagement Sessions // Jessica + Bill
Jessica and Bill decided to do an in-home engagement session (at least to start it there) and this was awesome because we can get some really intimate and epic photos. What I thought was going to be just an in-home session turned into a massive pillow fight of unheard of proportions. Feathers EVERYWHERE…EVERYWHERE I think they are still finding feathers in odd places. Seriously, so much fun!!

University of Chicago Wedding Photos // Annemarie + Zach
Ever since I met Annemarie, I’ve felt she was born in the wrong time. She belongs in the renaissance. Everything she does has a certain old world charm. It’s not something you come across very often. One of the reasons her and Zach are a great pair is because they have introduced each other to a lot of new things – sports, harry potter, etc. Zach is very caring and he looks at Annemarie as if…

Drury Lane Wedding // Sarah + Zach
Sarah and Zach had their wedding reception at Drury Lane and wow, was it an awesome party. The band was amazing and everyone had an absolute blast!
They are so incredibly easy going and fun to be around. One thing which came up over and over at their wedding was the aspect of family and how close everyone was. Both sides have incredibly strong bonds and you could see it instantly.

Northwestern Engagement Photos // Emma + Francesco
The first thing you need to know about Emma and Francesco (Frank) is that they both went to Northwestern. It’s where they met, fell in love with and got engaged – Frank proposed to Emma there! So it only makes sense that we did their engagement photos at Northwestern University. We explored the Northwestern campus, walked along the lake and even found a secret garden where students make out –…

Milton Lee Olive Park Surprise Proposal // Chris + Emma
Chris contacted me more than a month ago and wanted to propose to Emma in Chicago. We ultimately decided on Milton Lee Olive Park – a really great spot for a proposal. It has an epic view of the skyline! I like the proposals where I can hide in plain sight pretending it’s just a regular photo session. This gave me the chance to pose Emma with her back to Chris as he dropped to one knee…she was…

Lincoln Park Engagement Session // Johanna + Drew
Johanna and Drew wanted some amazing Chicago engagement photos so naturally we settled on Lincoln Park. I absolutely love shooting engagement sessions in Lincoln Park because of the incredible versatility in that neighborhood – there are parks, brownstones, cobble stone streets and the beach is near by. So we explored some of Lincoln Parks alleyways – that’s always an awesome and unexpected…
