Braeden & Brad in the heart of downtown Chicago 🤍🏙️

There’s something so special about getting to photograph people who are unapologetically themselves. These two are as genuine and down-to-earth as they come, and capturing their love in a way that feels true to who they are is exactly why I love what I do.

Feeling so grateful that I get to be a small part of their story and document these moments along the way. Braeden & Brad, what a blessing it is to have you as my clients! Here’s to the next chapter and celebrating you both all over again in 2027. 🥂✨

Katlyn + Vinnie 🤍✨

Some couples just feel like love. These two are the perfect mix of laid-back, effortlessly good-looking, and completely in love. They have this easy way about them, a love that feels genuine, and a beautiful way of following their hearts and doing things their way.

Their Lincoln Park Boardwalk engagement session felt just like them — relaxed, sweet, and full of the kind of love that makes you smile.

Next stop: saying “I do” at Maxwells Trading next month, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate these two. 🥂🤍

Marissa & George ✨

There was something undeniably magical about this day at Onwentsia Club. Sunlight poured over their ceremony, the golf course views created the most breathtaking backdrop, and every moment felt beautifully unhurried.

As the evening began, the smooth sounds of a jazz trio set the tone for dinner—elegant, relaxed, and effortlessly romantic.

Then came golden hour, wrapping Marissa and George in the warmest light as they slipped away for portraits together. Quiet moments, genuine laughter, and a little bit of that newlywed glow. 🤍

A beautiful celebration for a beautiful couple—and a day we won’t soon forget. 🥂

A night to remember. ✨
Marissa & George welcomed their guests with an unforgettable dinner at a private lakefront estate in Lake Bluff — where timeless elegance met the beauty of an intimate setting.

A perfect beginning to an extraordinary wedding weekend. 🥂🤍

Candlelight, exceptional w**e, and a dance floor that never quit. 🕯️✨

An unforgettable night celebrating the new Mr. and Mrs.! JM + W officially tied the knot surrounded by the warm, urban romance of Chicago Winery. From the glowing, candlelit room to the glasses raised high and the tunes that kept everyone moving all night long, it was absolute magic.

Cheers to JM + W and they’re beautiful happily ever after! 🥂🍇
