One of my favorite detail elements on a wedding day are the gorgeous bouquets and floral accents sprinkled through out the decor! I just love seeing all of my bride’s style shine through when it comes to the florals whether that is in the centerpieces at the reception, the hair pieces they wear, the ceremony arch decor, the boutonniere for her groom, her […]

I feel like after every year that I’m photographing weddings and engagements, I am coming across more and more unique and different style rings and I LOVE that!

I remember back when we did Megan and Lorenzo’s engagement session (in the middle of a blizzard I might add!) , I just remember them telling me all about their visions and dreams for their winter holiday wedding day!

Read moreEmma & Andrew | Emerald Green Luxury Downtown Chicago Winter Wedding at The Chez
When I think of Emma and Andrew’s wedding day, the first word that comes to mind is emotion. Every. single. part. of their big day had such amazing memories being made, people laughing and having a great time, and everyone just loving on these two on the biggest day of their lives. From the getting ready moments, the first look, the ceremony, first dances, everything in between, there were tears being shed left and right, and not just from the couple. (although, Andrew DID let his tears come out quite a bit and it was SO sweet!!) These two were […]
Read moreKelly & Jason | Fall Naperville Riverwalk Engagement Session
Three words to describe these two- caring, gentle, and kind. I just knew from the back and forth communication with Kelly that I was going to just adore them! In a questionnaire that I send my couples, one of the questions is to describe your relationship in one sentence and they put “our relationship is caring for one another all the time”. When I finally got the chance to meet them at their engagement session, I could feel the […]

Alexa and Nick met through mutual friends and knew each other for a while before officially becoming a couple! With roses, a plane ticket to California where Nick was living at the time, he asked Alexa to be his girlfriend on their first date! Of course, she said yes! A few years later, she would be saying that exact phrase to him on what she thought was a “Mother’s Day getaway” weekend in Florida and he asked her to […]

These two have such a fun story and I love it so much! They actually met while on spring break at Panama City Beach years ago!

They had a long distance relationship for a while, many train rides and secret hang outs later, the decided to move in together! Jake finally proposed and had a whole engagement party planned for both of their families to celebrate with them after he popped the question! Family is so important to these two and I love […]

Okay, for anyone who asks if dogs are allowed at engagement sessions, YAS YAS YAAAASS! Being a fellow pup mom myself (and goodness gracious I love my Zo Zo with all my heart!) , I just love when couples want to incorporate their fur babies in these photos because they are such a big part of your family! Engagement sessions are such a special thing to experience and celebrate because you only get to do these once, so if you are thinking of […]
