Chicagohenge in all its chaos.

So many people, cars and bikes. The 15 minute window of light goes by so fast. Still such a cool thing to experience and shoot.

What a gift it is to marry your best friend. The one who makes even the mundane feel fun. The one you turn to when life gets tough. The one who chooses you every day, no matter what.

Taylor and Drew found that in each other, and it’s a beautiful thing.

Their day had those quiet, emotional moments and a dance floor that didn’t slow down. It was such a joy to capture their love.

Maggie + Matt at the Art Institute 🤍

You’d never know there were like 10,000 people there that day. Even with the crowd we had so much fun. I’m so lucky having this career where I get to go to all these amazing places and document these milestones for such lovely people. Can’t wait to go back!
