A few weeks ago I met Kim + Avram in Phoenix, AZ at Papago Park’s Hole in the Rock. I’d photographed here earlier in the year, and it was so much fun to come back and explore the area with a completely new couple. Kim + Avram were super sweet and fun and had actually lived […]

Colin basically described starting to date Khrista as “he gave her no other choice.” They constantly were running into each other whenever they were home from school, and it was obvious that they were drawn to each other. I’ve run into them at a few of my weddings throughout the years, and we’d been talking about […]

I sent Kristen + Nick photos of Olive Park, and they knew it was the perfect spot for their engagement. A combination of the lakefront, that gorgeous Chicago skyline, and the little bit of greenery that is left before the winter fully hits. It was a little chilly, but we made the best of it […]

Chelsey + Zac knew they wanted a vintage inspired engagement session right from the start. so after brainstorming a few ideas, talking with the people at restoration hardware, and putting a plan in place – we met on the perfect Chicago afternoon to snap a few pics.

So, I’m not really sure how I officially met Erin. She was in a wedding party that I photographed last year, but also happened to live with and be best friends someone I know from high school, and also was a guest at a wedding of mine this year. So needless to say, I was meant to […]

I met Sarah + Joe at Lincoln Park’s Lily Pond on a perfect summer-fall day. None of us had ever been there before, but they trusted me to adapt and make their session as beautiful as any other location I’d shot a million times. We found gorgeous spots, pops of light, and scenic greenery to set […]

Remember Benny “the Jet” Rodriquez from the Sandlot? The one that all the girls had a crush on growing up? Well Christina met her ‘Benny’ when she was in just seventh grade while riding bikes around the neighborhood like most kids did. She saw her now fiancé, Jimmy, thought he looked like Benny, and immediately […]

I met Crystal and Carlos on a cloudy summer night at the Lincoln Park Zoo South Pond. The light was absolutely perfect, and although it wasn’t our standard August weather, it was a beautiful night. Carlos told me how Crystal always jokes that he is so predictable, so he definitely had to surprise her with the […]
