There's no better way to end the year than celebrating a wedding! Holly and John got married on New Years Eve and I had such a wonderful time spending the day with them. They got married at Divine Infant Church in Westchester followed by a reception at the swanky Loft 28 West in downtown Aurora. We had fun photographing on the trolley and made a quick stop for photos in the snow outside of the Paramount Theater with the Christmas lights. Congratulations Holly and John and Happy New Year!

I'm so excited and happy for Daniel and Jacqueline who got engaged yesterday at a place near and dear to their hearts, Milkstop restaurant in La Grange. Daniel reached out to me to ask if I would capture his proposal. The cue, once I got there, was to watch for the champaign to be brought out and then he would drop to his knee and propose. I couldn't hear what he said but I could tell that she was incredibly happy. I loved that the whole restaurant cheered for them. Congratulations Daniel and Jacqueline!

I'm so excited to announce that I have a new website! It's been a while since I've updated it and I feel like this one is way easier to use and fits my style and personality much better. Check it out and pass it along to anybody that you know who is getting married!

Happy early winter! And with all this lovely snow I bring to you some photos from Carey and Brian’s wedding I photographed last week! They got married at the Dupage County Courthouse followed by a luncheon reception at Maize and Mash downtown Glen Ellyn. Carey and Brian braved the cold weather for some portraits across the street in an alley and we had so much fun. Thank you and congratulations to Carey and Brian!! -Jake

Sarah and Jovanny’s autumn garden wedding took place a couple of weekends ago at the beautiful Wilder Park in Elmhurst. They did a first look and portraits at the mansion before their intimate outdoor ceremony in the formal gardens. Their reception took place at Clara’s Restaurant in Woodridge. I had such a great time capturing their event and can’t wait to share all their photos from their wedding day! -Jake

I photographed Madison and Allison’s wedding a couple of weeks ago in Plano, IL at a beautiful historic venue called Homestead 1854. It was a quiet and lovely fall day and their outdoor ceremony took place in front a garden maze with a backdrop of fall foliage. I couldn’t help but notice all the little details that Madison and Allison created including their homemade cold brew unity coffee and that they made their bouquets for each other. Their reception was held on site next to the mansion and their dance floor was nestled among the pine trees. I am so excited to share these photos and feel so honored to be able to capture the love that Madison and Allison share with each other. Congratulations!! -Jake

Jennifer and Ryan got married a couple of weeks ago in Peoria, IL surrounded by nature at the gorgeous Luthy Botanical Garden. After their sweet and simple outdoor wedding ceremony we walked around the gardens taking a bunch of portraits. I love all the ideas that they and their kids had for different poses and we had a lot of fun with it. I can’t wait to share all of the photos. Enjoy!! -Jake

I had the honor of photographing Juniper and Reese’s wedding a couple of weeks ago at the fabulous Herrington Inn in Geneva, IL. I loved all the bright and colorful flowers, the custom flower embroidery on Juniper’s dress, and that they made and decorated their own cake. They had a sweet outdoor ceremony in the courtyard at the Herrington Inn immediately followed by cocktails and dinner. It was so much fun being a part of Juniper and Reese’s wedding. Enjoy the photos! -Jake

Victoria and Jeff got married a couple of weeks ago outside of Birdhaven Greenhouse in Joliet, IL. It was a picture perfect day full of love and laughter. I love that they walked down the aisle to the Stardew Valley game soundtrack. It was such a pleasure spending a couple of hours with Victoria and Jeff! Enjoy the photos! -Jake
