Jess +  Tom met at a bus stop when they were studying abroad in Florence, Italy. They had had mutual friends for a few months, but it wasn’t until this very night that they started talking and really hit it off.  Their personalities just clicked and were inseparable from that moment on. Fast forward to […]

On August 1st, 2004, Ari + Nicky officially became an item. What started out as childhood crushes and pre-teen make-outs turned into a relationship that would last a lifetime. Eleven years later, they tied the knot and became Mr. And Mrs. Fiore in front of all their family and friends. Ari + Nicky are truly best […]

Unlike most Chicagoans the night before NYE, Ashley + Connor decided it was a good idea to go out and celebrate a day early. Good thing they did because it was that special night at Justin’s on Southport that brought them together and to their wedding day a few weeks ago. Their wedding was a […]

It seems as though the universe wanted Erin + Dan to be together. I’ve known Dan since our days back at St. Charles Borromeo when we were just little kids without a care in the world. Fast forward twenty-some years, and I ran into Dan at Lollapalooza right before a big storm was about to […]

Molly and Brian met at a work happy hour in 2009. Brian spent much of the happy hour answering questions about work, but soon found himself chatting with Molly about other things and was fully engaged in their conversation. So much so that he chased her down in the parking lot after she left and asked […]

Sydney + Ryan’s Wedding was one of those dream wedding days. After days of rain and clouds, it was easy to assume that the their wedding would follow suit… until it didn’t. Instead, it was nearly perfect. The dream wedding part doesn’t stop there. Knowing that the reception was going to be at the Chicago Cultural […]

Over the past year+, I’ve been getting to know Caitlin + Devan. We first met at Liza + Mike’s Wedding, and then we got to know each other via email and behind the camera during photo shoots. So when their big day came to an end, I found myself kind of sad saying goodbye to […]

Usually I write my couples’ blog posts myself. I try to fill it with my favorite memories from the day, well wishes for the couples, and a few sentimental notes. But, as I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed the day after Jacque + Tommy’s wedding, I stumbled across separate posts from both the bride […]

Kailey + Rob are one of those couples that are very expressive. I probably took about 500 more photos on their wedding day than I do on an average wedding day because their expressions of love towards each other were so abundant. The smiles, the tears… not just from the bride and groom but also from […]

I’ll keep this one short because the photos speak for themselves, but I will say I couldn’t think of a better way to officially kick off the 2015 JTPhoto wedding season. Erin + Jared put together one of the most beautiful wedding days I have been lucky enough to be a part of. From the […]
