The way that I adored this wedding!!! Sam and Michael found me on Instagram and trusted me with photographing their wedding and engagement photos in two different cities that I’m not familiar with. Both exceeded my expectations ten fold! They did their engagement session in the north suburbs of Chicago (peep their engagement blog here!) […]

I swear I still dream about this gorgeous spring wedding from May of 2022!! The entire day felt like I was photographing a styled shoot. Every single detail of this day was thought through, executed beautifully, and told their unique story. Katelyn and Ben could be confused as models, but they are also so kind and SO in love! They were locked in on each other for the entire day and their chemistry made magic in front of the camera.

What a gorgeous fall day this was celebrating Rachel and Matt! This day was decorated with classic beauty and was filled with touching emotion. These two opted not to do a First Look until they saw one another at the altar at the Basilica of St. Mary. Even though the classic First Look was missing, Rachel had some of the best moments with her bridesmaids and father seeing her for the first time.unique flare to this midwest wedding. They were welcomed into their reception with trumpets and led right into their first dance, where they welcomed all their guests to join and party with them before dinner service even began. The evening ended with Matt serenading Rachel to the song Latch by Sam Smith while his brother played the keyboard. His singing voice was AMAZING and the surprise moment brought Rachel to tears. What an amazing way to end the night!
