From the Moment I met Lynne and Eric via Zoom I knew their wedding day was going to be a blast. An intimate group that was ready to party! They wanted the focus of the day to be on having fun with the people they love and they definitely succeeded. Other than me dropping my lens down from a story up and breaking it, it was the perfect day! Venue: Planner : Videography: Hair & Makeup: Sara Logan Cruz Flowers: Band : Cake: Officiant :

According to my inbox of inquires it’s proposal season! Traditionally so many proposals happen over the holidays but I’ve always been a fan of breaking away from the norm and it seems more people are making that shift too. Why not propose on a date that has more meaning to you as a couple? Or a new date that will now have its own meaning bc it’s your proposal date. Or picking a favorite spot that only makes sense in a certain season.
If you’re newly engaged and starting the planning process I’m here to help!

Calling all engaged couples!! Join me tomorrow at the Show Some Love wedding show. I gave up on big wedding shows years ago as they give me the ick and feel very forced. But I make an exception for this one because it’s the opposite. It’s small and intimate and only has local vendors. No big box wedding companies. Just real people running small businesses that want to help your vision come alive.

And it’s at my favorite intimate wedding venue in the city - ! As you can see from these photo I’ve done several weddings there over the years. It’s gorgeous, the staff is the best and the food is amazing.
You can still buy tickets online (check the link on the bdp Instagram) and they are also available at the door.

The majority of my team will also be there! So come by and say hi!
Tag your engaged friends, coworkers, cousins etc.

Not convinced yet? Check out the other vendors who will be there too!

Is it fall again yet? I miss the colors, the gorgeous light and I’m not burning up but I’m not freezing temps. If I could forever live in the month of October I would. Hair & Makeup: Bridal hair color: .bysky at

I don’t always do elopements outside the city, but when I do….. they are magic. We could not have gotten a more gorgeous day for Kathy and Austin’s elopement. Fall color, perfect light and a nearly empty park/beach. Will travel for perfection ;) Officiant: Dress, earrings, purse :

When there is a heat wave (aka it was barely above freezing) on the day you get married but the river is still frozen it makes for some really unique photo ops! I had a blast photographing these high school sweethearts This weekend as they said I do in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their families. And I’m thankful they indulged me dragging them to the bridge in the cold for This…. And again for night photos later haha. Venue: Officiant: Jumpsuit: Suit : Hair : Makeup: Rings: Flowers:

This was the dreamiest ceremony I did in 2024. The light was perfection. I would like to relive this day many times. But for now I’ll have to settle on editing all the photos. Hair & Makeup : Venue: Lily Pool

I don’t always photograph big wedding parties, but when I do they are full of gorgeous people :) Working on these beauties this week. I should be caught up on editing sometime in 2026 😬 Venue : Planner: DJ:

Sometimes my favorite photos aren’t the planned ones. After Sasha and Clinton said I do at city hall we strolled up to the river. And then we planned on ending at the Wrigley building. It’s was chilly so I doubted that they wanted to walk it, but to my delight they were up for it! There are so many good books and angles along the way that we wouldn’t have got otherwise, including this one :) The perfect way to end 2024!

That’s a wrap for 2024! My groom took this photo of me that pretty much sums up my year. Camera in one hand, dogs in the other. (My couples dogs. I was holding them while I tried to get some shots of just the couple. Multitasking is an artform). Just Smiling and loving my city. I’m very lucky to have a job that I love and get to work with so many amazing couples. But I am very very ready for a couple slower months to let my body recover and tackle the mountain of editing I have to do. Cheers to an amazing year! 🥂

I honestly don’t even know how I’m still alive at this point but glad to be here! It has been the busiest December ever. I’m going to be totally unavailable the 23rd-26th and then back at it for 2 more city hall weddings to end the year. I can’t even explain how lucky I feel to be doing what I love. Even if it’s sometimes very stressful (she says as she’s still trying to get one more gallery done before tomorrow).
And congrats to Steve and Natalia. She wins the award for being 100% complaint free in the freezing cold weather last week. But as she put it “It’s fine. I’m Russian.” Officiant : Hair & Makeup :

City hall has been my second home this year, but I have no complaints because I’ve gotten to work with so many amazing couples. Annika and Mack are definitely one of my favorites. They said I do surrounded by family and then braved some very cold temps for photos. I met back up with them later for a party with a few more guests at . It was all smiles (and maybe a few chattering teeth). The perfect day! Dress: Rings: Suit:

I love downtown Chicago this time of year! It’s all decked out for the holidays and people are out shopping and holiday music is being played. So of course we took full advantage of the beauty of State Street when we were out for Jess and Antonio’s wedding last week.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I love downtown when it’s all decked out for the holidays. We got a little hint of it for Whitney and Mike’s wedding before Thanksgiving.
I am still very busy in December and my current turnaround for editing is 3 months. This is normal for me this time of year. I know everyone wants their photos. I am only on person who is just doing their best. And is going to spend most of the day tomorrow at the hospital getting my infusion for my Crohn’s. I can only do so much. Thank you to my wonderful clients for their patience! If anyone needs just a couple of family photos pulled that maybe weren’t in your preview for gifts let me know.
