Julia and Chansler’s Loft Lucia Chicago wedding was – in a word – incredible.

Hit with some fairly heavy snow the day before, what could have been a little daunting for some couples, Mary Clare and Tim took the whole thing in stride and had the most fabulous day.

It’s no secret that Lincoln Park’s South Pond is one of the most beautiful places in the city to go for a picnic, a summertime stroll or ya know, your engagement session!

After a gorgeous first look along Chicago’s Riverwalk, Libby and Adam exchanged their vows at the stunning Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Chicago surrounded by those they love the most and celebrated with music, champagne and delicious food immediately after, all enjoyed al fresco.

The Morris Estate is a gorgeous, sprawling property along the banks of the St Joseph river in Niles, MI and I had THE most fun exploring it’s stunning grounds with this beautiful pair of newlyweds.

So the Iron Horse Hotel, for those who do not know, is an AMAZING place to have a wedding. An old factory/warehouse has been transformed into a stylish, modern hotel full of charm and beautifully preserved original detail.

Romantic summer engagement session in Chicago’s Lincoln Park South Pond.

Jenny and Jeff are two of the coolest, sweetest, chillest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. After Covid forced them to push back their wedding day by a few months, they kept positive and pulled of one heck of an amazing party, while making sure everyone they loved stayed safe!

In lieu of the traditional engagement session, the beautiful Claudia asked me about doing a post-wedding day session and I was ALL about it. After capturing their stunning wedding day at the Exmoor Country Club earlier this summer, I was lucky enough to rendezvous with these two downtown to have a chilled out, super fun portrait session in some of Chicago’s most beautiful spots.
