Getting ready for tonight’s proposal got me thinking about this sweet day when Joe proposed to Tara in the courtyard of their old apartment building. It was an obvious yes.

Happy One Year (and one day) anniversary to Erin & Mike!

While I do love a big wedding, there’s something really special about an intimate celebration like this. Mondays aren’t exactly the typical wedding day, but with family in town and everything falling into place, it just made sense.

They got ready together at home, hopped on the Reggie’s bus to Humboldt Park Boathouse for the ceremony, wandered the park for photos, then headed to Gretel for a family dinner before celebrating with friends later that night. The easiest and most fun day celebrating with all the people who mattered most.

Sneak peeks are out, so it’s officially time to recap the start of the 2026 wedding season.

Samantha & Thomas had the perfect mix tradition and just having a really good time with their people.

The day started with a ceremony at St. Paul of the Cross Church, then we took it downtown for portraits on Michigan Ave, and ended with the best party in the Congress Hotel’s Gold Room.

A classic Chicago wedding day, start to finish.

All these anniversary posts I’ve been prepping and posting are my annual reminder that wedding season is right around the corner. Staying connected with these couples is one of my favorite parts of this job. Seeing what life looks like a year (or a few years) later, and getting to share those little updates alongside their photos is always extra special.

Happy anniversary, Allison & Dale 🤍

an ode to Chicago

On a very cold, snowy day in December, Charlie convinced Michaela to go up to their rooftop to watch a “skyline light show” before heading out for the night (there was no skyline light show). She thought it was a little weird ,but went along with it because the sunset that night was gorgeous. Charlie proposed, she said yes, there was champagne, we took some photos, and they ended the night celebrating with family and friends at their favorite bar down the street.

Zoe and Nick’s wedding day was the definition of timeless elegance. Rooted in tradition, elevated with thoughtful details, and filled with so much love from start to finish. The day started with a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony followed by a gorgeous reception at Hinsdale Golf Club. Garden party vibes for cocktail hour, a band that kept the dance floor packed all night, and a bride who absolutely nailed the dress change moment. Effortless, elegant, and full of energy from start to finish.
