Chicago weather was wild this week. It snowed on Monday and Saturday was 65 degrees! And on Tuesday Taylor and Matt said I do. I don’t know that they were planning on a winter wedding, but the combination of snow and fall color was really unique. And despite the chilly temps they were all smiles! Congrats to the newlyweds!

Hot take : All weddings should have confetti rooms! The second Savannah mentioned getting married on Halloween at the ideas were already swirling in my head. And it was even better than I imagined. Bright colors, and ball pits and confetti and costumes and cake! What more could you want?! Congrats to the newlyweds! Venue : Officiant : Hair & Makeup :

Doing an intimate wedding but don’t want the party to stop after dinner? Not a problem. Instead of a traditional reception Jo and Nik took their guests to to enjoy some live music and Lee the party going!

I’d fire my social media manager for lack of posting, but it’s me. So here is a gorgeous intimate wedding I did in Lake Forest a few weeks ago.
Samantha and Alex said I do at her parents house which they transformed into the cutest ceremony space. We headed to downtown Lake Forest for some photos including a stop at her mom’s bookstore - which is so cute. And then joined up with everyone again at to continue the celebrations. Congrats to the newlyweds!

Again today felt like a really heavy day, but I decided to share some joy instead of just doom scrolling. That joy comes in the form of Patrick and Brenden’s wedding! I’ve actually known Patrick for a few years as he is often the point person for weddings at the Lily Pool and we all know I love that space. So it was nice for a change to have email me instead of me bothering him with permit questions! I was truly honored that he reached out about photographing his wedding day to Brenden and it’s didn’t disappoint!
They had an intimate ceremony at the Lily Pool (obviously) before hosting a larger dinner and reception that evening at . The love and joy in the room was so real and powerful. So when I was feeling down today looking through their photos and being reminded that love always wins was what I needed. Congrats to the newlyweds!

I kicked off October with this gorgeous intimate wedding in Oakbrook. I don’t think any of us expected it to be near 90 at the start of October but we got the most gorgeous light (and some sweat) for portraits at Fullersburg Woods before heading to Gibson’s Oakbrook for their ceremony and reception. Congrats to the newlyweds Lorna and Sam!

I haven’t been posting here much lately and it’s not because I don’t have amazing photos and couples to share, because I do. I have so many.

It’s just hard to find the words and the joy right now when the world feels so heavy. It’s feels weird to be like “here are happy people and everything is great” when kids are getting pulled out their beds in the middle of the night and zip tied and peaceful protestors are getting pepper bullets shot at them and people are getting Kidnapped off the streets because of how they look and the color of their skin.

I don’t know what the answer is. And I don’t want to not celebrate my couples. Maybe that’s what I should be doing even more to show off this city that I love filled with great people and culture and diversity.

No city is perfect. But I love Chicago and there is no where I’d rather be.

So apologies for any of couples who I haven’t posted or shared about. It’s not you. Just every time I open this app I want to cry and scream and fight watching the horrible things happening to my neighbors. And then I go to post something and my brain just can’t find the right words without feeling tone deaf to what’s happening around us. And I realize I’m a white lady living in Lincoln Park so I’m not even first hand experiencing all the things. I am all over the city for photos but I’m with people on their best days. But I’m still feeling the weight of it all. And it’s very very heavy right now.

Did I photograph 7 weddings at city hall in September? Yes. Did I love every couple I got to work with? Also yes.
I’ve had people ask me if I get bored of doing the same spots, but the reality is that it’s different every single time. The couple is different. The vibes are different. The outfits are different. The weather is different. It’s only boring if you let it be boring and I’m not about to do that. I actually feel like when I used to do mostly big weddings that those felt more repetitive than elopements!
The majority of my couples this month had been together for 10+ years! Including Kimber and C**t pictured here who said I do after lucky number 13 :)

Where do I even start on the perfection that was Fridays elopement? Ceremony at the Lily Pool that FINALLY reopened and was looking gorgeous. A group of tiny toddlers came through in the middle and were just in awe of Cassie and gave us a big “1,2,3 congrats!” Cheers which was the cutest thing ever. This was an interruption that I would welcome. We headed downtown to roam the riverwalk and Wrigley building and got so many random cheers from strangers. It helped that these two were madly in love and adorable. The easiest gig I’ve had. Congrats to the newlyweds! Ceremony : Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool Officiant: Rings: and

As a photographer I’m always trying to capture the feel of a wedding day. The moments big and small. The photo that you can look at an be taken right back to that moment. This one I call pure joy :)
