Choosing a wedding venue in Chicago isn’t just about how it looks—it’s about how it feels. The way a space holds your people. The way the light moves through it. The way your day is allowed to unfold without feeling rushed or over-orchestrated. Over the years, I’ve photographed weddings across the city, and certain venues […]

There’s something about a Chicago Illuminating Company wedding that feels both elevated and grounded at the same time. Tucked away from the pace of the city, the space felt like a bit of an escape, giving everyone room to slow down, be present, and really be with one another. That feeling wasn’t something that just […]

There are some weddings that just radiate joy from start to finish—and Laura and Dave’s 70s-inspired wedding at the Foreman Pavilion in Lincoln Park Zoo was exactly that. It was vibrant, emotional, hilarious, and full of the kind of love that reaches beyond just two people. The weekend kicked off with a welcome reception at […]

There’s something about a Firehouse Chicago wedding that feels instantly familiar. Warm, intimate, and rooted in connection, it’s the kind of space that invites people to slow down and simply be together. Caroline and Rob’s day reflected that completely. From the very beginning, everything felt grounded in what mattered most: their people, their history, and […]

You might remember these two from their Garfield Park engagement session. Naomi and Chris had their Sarabande Chicago wedding in April and I am still salivating just thinking about the food spread that they had. With Naomi’s background in nutrition science, what else should I have expected. From the Chinese tea ceremony to the homemade […]

As a Chicago wedding photographer, there are some weddings that just feel like coming home—and Lena and Charles’ wedding at The Dalcy in Chicago was exactly that. It was elegant, personal, and deeply rooted in what really matters: family, connection, and love that’s been nurtured over time. From the moment I met them, I knew […]

There’s something about a Bridgeport Art Center Skyline Loft wedding that just feels like classic Chicago—industrial charm, sweeping city views, and a space full of warmth and character. Allyssa and Alan’s black tie wedding brought all of that together with such intention and heart. A Classic Start at The Palmer House The day began at […]

Karla and Brian’s colorful Pinstripes wedding was a highlight of last summer, everything about this day was intentionally crafted to represent their cultures and families. Rain popped in and out throughout the day, but they never let it put a damper on them. They exchanged private vows during one of the most romantic and memorable […]

Hannah and Alan’s fall Lacuna Lofts wedding was a highlight of the year. Not only was it special because Lacuna was where Lindsay and I got married, but their reception was such a throwback to the Warped Tour days. We started off the day with Hannah getting ready at her mom’s condo while Alan got […]

Tucked away in Elkhorn, a small town in southern Wisconsin, lies Camp Wandawega. From starting as a speakeasy in 1925 to a lake resort in the 1950s to a church camp in the 1970s, Camp Wandawega definitely has a rich history. The venue itself stays true to the “camp” in their name as they serve […]

During my mentorship with Robert J Hill, we photographed this styled Smith Rock elopement which also happened to be a real vow renewal for Jessie and Chad. Even though this was styled, the emotions and love felt between the two of them was as real as can be. When I think of Oregon, my mind […]
