Wowwww October has been crazy y’all. Not only is it almost every photographers busiest month (mine included) but I also moved into a new house at the beginning of the month.

Soooo life has been nonstop haha. I’m doing my best to keep up on editing and I thank all of my clients SO MUCH for being patient on getting their photos back. I truly wish I could clone myself right now because there are not enough hours in the day.

All that being said, I’m grateful for this job, for my clients, and for so many beautiful and amazing weddings that have come out of the pandemic. I feel really lucky to get to be a part of some really intimate, small days.

Allllll the heart eyes for these two 😍😍 I loved that they got engaged during the pandemic and just decided to go for it. They had a small wedding with their closest friends and family on the river in Chicago and had dinner under the city lights at dusk.

Ten photos from Katie and Nick’s day last weekend. I can honestly say in my ten years of shooting weddings, I’ve never seen a bride and groom water ski in their dress and suit and I absolutely loved it.

Wowwwww to this look 😍 I think capes need to be worn on more occasions because I’m obsessed.

I have so much to share from this past weekend (and the rest of my weddings I’ve had this year, ahhhh!). Three weddings this weekend...two by me and one by my lovely associate, Emily ❤️
