Madeline and Kevin met their first week of college at the University of Illinois. They joined the same business club and quickly became friends. About two years later, it became clear they both had feelings for each other and Kevin worked up the courage to ask Madeline on a date over winter break of their junior year. Since then, Madeline and Kevin have been together – they graduated college, Kevin moved to San Francisco (and they did two years of long-distance) and they then moved into their first place together in Chicago in 2020. In April 2022, Kevin said they were going to dinner in Lincoln Park, where he dropped down to one knee and asked Madeline to marry him. They had a great celebration with close family that night and quickly set out to plan our wedding!
I first got to know Madeline and Kevin at their beautiful Fall engagement session in Lincoln Park last year. I was struck by how perfect Madeline and Kevin are for each other that lovely evening, and I was so excited to celebrate their wedding along with Conrad this Summer! When we arrive at the Westin Chicago Northwest in Itasca the mood was amazing in Madeline’s room, her bridesmaids and Mom were all so welcoming and sweet to us. Madeline looked SO. GOOD. in her sleek Caroline Herrera gown (she bought it off the rack at Second City Bride!) Once Madeline and Kevin did their first look the whole day just went so smoothly, these two made our jobs so easy!! The sunshine was bouncing between the buildings surrounding the Westin and gave us so many beautiful spots for photos, it was such a perfect day!!
Congratulations, Madeline and Kevin, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Cassidy & Brandon’s Magical Brix on the Fox Wedding
Cassidy and Brandon first met each other at a bar – she was working and they immediately clicked. Their connection was so powerful that their relationship quickly became serious – within four months they had moved in together, and after nine months they were engaged. . .
Cassidy and Brandon first met each other at a bar – she was working and they immediately clicked. Their connection was so powerful that their relationship quickly became serious – within four months they had moved in together, and after nine months they were engaged. Cassidy and Brandon’s strong connection was on full display on their wedding day at the Brix on the Fox.
As Cassidy was getting ready (along with her adorable dog) Brandon was working out the details before their ceremony. The excitement was building as guests arrived and we all prepared for Cassidy to walk down the aisle with her Dad. She looked absolutely gorgeous, and once Brandon saw his bride he didn’t take his eyes off of her for the rest of the night.
The weather was threatening so we decided to take wedding party and family photos inside. Both Cassidy and Brandon are twins, it was fun to see all of the twins at their wedding! During cocktail hour the sun finally peeked out even though it was still raining – Conrad and I knew to quickly get Cassidy and Brandon outside for photos before their reception started. When we crossed the street and moved toward the river we were treated to a stunning double rainbow! The light was gorgeous and made for the most perfect moment for the newlyweds!
Congratulations, Cassidy and Brandon, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Jenni & Dan’s Romantic Wilder Mansion Wedding
Jenni and Dan are both teachers, they were on the same middle school “team” and quickly became close friends. One day Dan asked Jenni to go bowling with him after work, after she reluctantly said yes . . .
Jenni and Dan are both teachers, they were on the same middle school “team” and quickly became close friends. One day Dan asked Jenni to go bowling with him after work, after she reluctantly said yes that game started a long streak of Dan beating Jenni at just about everything from bowling to mini golf (with the exception of volleyball!) Their strong and natural connection they have kept them close through the ups and downs of life. After 7 years of teaching together, approximately 700 of the same students taught and 5 years of dating Dan got down on one knee in downtown Chicago and asked Jenni to marry him. She enthusiastically said ‘yes!’ and their adventure toward becoming husband and wife began!
I got to know Jenni and Dan at their beautiful engagement session last Summer at Lake Katherine Nature Center. It was easy and fun to explore with Jenni and Dan, they share a quiet devotion to one another that is truly a joy to witness. Leading up to their wedding day, we asked Jenni and Dan to answer the question “what moment of your wedding day are you most looking forward to?” Their answer says so much about who these two are as a couple, they said “The little alone time we will have with one another to soak in the moment.”
When their wedding day arrived, we met up with Jenni and her bridesmaids at the gorgeous Wilder Mansion in Elmhurst. Christy and I joked that we could shoot at Wilder Mansion every single weekend and be thrilled, this beautiful historic home is filled with tons of natural light and one big empty room after another! It’s like a giant and gorgeous photo studio! Jenni looked radiant as she got ready for her “first look” with Dan – he was a little nervous but once he saw his gorgeous bride that all seemed to disappear.
Jenni and Dan exchanged private vows right after their first look (one of our favorite “new” traditions!) We had the best time taking pictures of Jenni and Dan and their wedding party at Wilder Mansion before and after their beautiful rose garden ceremony. Before long we loaded up and moved the celebration to Drury Lane where their guests were all waiting to start the party. We loved every moment of this romantic day, it was an honor to be alongside Jenni and Dan as they began their married lives together!
Congratulations, Jenni and Dan, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Stephanie & Will’s Sweet Metropolis Ballroom Wedding
Stephanie and Will met through mutual friends – her good friend from college is his good friend from high school. A few years after graduating college, Will moved to Chicago for work and they connected for their first date at Corridor Brewery. . .
Stephanie and Will met through mutual friends – her good friend from college is his good friend from high school. A few years after graduating college, Will moved to Chicago for work and they connected for their first date at Corridor Brewery.
As they grew closer Stephanie and Will soon moved in together, and Will proposed in their first apartment after coming home from landing his dream job. We first connected with Stephanie and Will during the pandemic, and got to know them better at their pretty engagement session at the Lincoln Park Nature Walk downtown. Stephanie’s sweetness and Will’s dry sense of humor made an impression on me, and we were really excited to celebrate their wedding at the Metropolis Ballroom in June!
Looking back, Stephanie and Will’s wedding day was truly perfect – but just as Stephanie was about to put on her gorgeous wedding gown she was told that their florist had flaked and they didn’t have wedding flowers. No bouquets, no boutonnieres, no centerpieces. In the ten years we have been shooting weddings we have NEVER experienced anything like this! We kept our composure and quietly worked with the amazing Metropolis team to mobilize a local florist to pull off something last-minute. But in the meantime, we really had to start taking wedding party photos before we ran out of time before the ceremony. Stephanie took all of the chaos in stride, it was amazing. She took a sip of champagne and pulled her shoulders back before striding outside for photos. Stephanie rocked her dress pockets and high leg slit and made the best of things, nothing was going to stop her from enjoying her wedding day! It was one of the most bad-ass things we have ever seen from a bride!
By the time we had finished with photos around downtown Arlington Heights there were bouquets and boutonnieres ready thanks to the amazing and kind team at Purple Rose Floral in Mount Prospect. Those personal floral items really do make a difference and it was amazing how beautiful everything looked from Purple Rose even though they had absolutely zero advanced warning, we were SO grateful that they stepped in to help out!!
At the start of their reception Stephanie and Will gave a speech to thank their guests, and Stephanie had already planned to talk about how all of the details that go into a wedding day don’t really matter. Her words hit even harder after what had transpired during their wedding day – but in the end, all that mattered was that Stephanie and Will said “I do” and became husband and wife. It was a beautiful and perfect celebration of their love, we were truly honored to be a part of it!!
Congratulations, Stephanie and Will, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Stacy & Nick’s Emotional Chevy Chase Wedding

Stacy and Nick first met at work and grew close as part of a large group of new-hires. Stacy was pregnant at the time and from those early days of their friendship Nick cared for her in quiet simple ways. He would give up his seat and offer treats to Stacy, and once Duncan was born Nick continued to help Stacy as their friendship grew stronger. They became best friends and eventually started dating,
Stacy, Nick and Duncan all love playing board games together, in fact, Nick proposed to Stacy using a Boggle board with “willyoumarryme” hidden in the puzzle! Conrad loved getting to know Stacy, Nick and Duncan at their engagement session last Fall, this little family is beyond sweet together. When their wedding day finally arrived their playfulness and love for Duncan were on display through all the little details at Chevy Chase Country Club.
After Stacy got dressed she did the sweetest “first look” with Duncan, his response to seeing his Mom as a bride was beyond adorable. Once Stacy saw Nick the tears really started to flow, there were happy tears from both the bride and groom throughout the day. Nick wrote separate vows for Duncan that he shared during their ceremony, it was so beautiful and touching. After the ceremony Duncan asked Stacy and Nick why they were both crying so much, they had to explain that they were crying because they were just so happy.
Through it all it was just the most beautiful and emotional day, we were overjoyed to be there to celebrate with these three!
Congratulations, Stacy and Nick (and Duncan!), we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Danielle & Dan’s Perfect Geneva National Wedding

Danielle and Dan knew each other in high school, but didn’t start dating until 15 years later when they matched on Bumble. They quickly fell in love and soon Dan knew he wanted to propose – he chose to pop the question at Gianni’s Cafe in Palatine (one of their favorite date night spots), and after Danielle said “YES!” they met their friends at Tap House to celebrate.
When I first met Danielle and Dan over Zoom I was so comfortable talking with them, they are just so easy to talk to, easy to get along with. They have a way of making everyone feel like close friends. Conrad bonded with Danielle and Dan over their Palatine connection, it’s always fun when we get to know our neighbors!! When I got to meet Danielle and Dan in person for their engagement session it was just fun to take their pictures, they are very in love and very comfortable with one another. They brought along their adorable dog that night and we were treated to a perfect sunset.
Their wedding day was truly perfect, it was a joy for me and Conrad and Lindsay to drive to Lake Geneva to be a part of this celebration. We love shooting at Geneva National, it’s such a beautiful venue. Danielle looked radiant as she got ready with her girls, and when she saw her Dad I’m pretty sure everyone was crying. Her Dad was super emotional ALL day, he kept his sunglasses on to hide his tears.
After Danielle and Dan’s beautiful lakeside ceremony we moved inside for an epic party. Our good friends the Etters were there to celebrate (they are local influencers and huge advocates for Palatine, AND happen to be Danielle and Dan’s neighbors and close friends!) We were treated to another beautiful sunset, before dancing the night away to SODA’s amazing set. We snuck a few Jeni’s Ice Creams before heading back home, it was truly the most perfect day.
Congratulations, Danielle and Dan, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Samantha & Brandon’s Romantic Independence Grove Wedding
Samantha and Brandon met when they were both attending Buffalo Grove High School. They both tried out for cheerleading and were put into the same group together. After a year of being friends, he asked her to go to homecoming with him . . .
Samantha and Brandon met when they were both attending Buffalo Grove High School (Conrad and Christy’s alma mater!) They both tried out for cheerleading and were put into the same group together. After a year of being friends, he asked her to go to homecoming with him. In 2019 they went on a trip together to Florida. Brandon planned a day spent doing their favorite things and at the end of the day before dinner he proposed!
On their wedding day, Christy and I had so much fun hanging out with Samantha and Brandon and their incredible friends. The guys had stocked up on little Nerf guns and were having tons of fun using them at the hotel before the ceremony. After a little bit of rain we drove to St. Mary’s church in Buffalo Grove, Samantha’s church since childhood. Samantha did a quick and adorable reveal with the groomsmen before the ceremony, it was so sweet to see how happy the guys all were to see her as a bride. When it was time for Samantha to walk down the aisle, Brandon wiped tears away as the “flower guys” preceded his beautiful bride.
It was a beautiful and emotional ceremony with two beautiful songs sung by Samantha’s Dad and her twin brother. After the ceremony we left for Independence Grove. The Nerf guns came back out when we explored the gorgeous grounds of Independence Grove taking photos of the wedding party. We were all laughing and laughing together, it was just the best being with this crew!! When the time came to settle into the beautiful Audubon Hall for dinner and dancing Samantha was excited for her kids’ meal, some delicious looking chicken tenders and fries!! The food at Independence Grove is always amazing BUT we have to admit those chicken tenders looked SOO good! We were treated to a stunning sunset over the water before the guests danced the night away, it was truly the perfect day!
Congratulations, Samantha and Brandon, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Amanda & Marcus’ Joyful Heritage Prairie Farm Wedding

Amanda and Marcus we grew up 15 minutes apart from each other in Texas but never met. Fast forward many years and several moves later, they connected in Illinois through the dating app Coffee Meets Bagel. Their first date was supposed to be meeting for coffee, but turned into a spontaneous Home Depot run after discovering the coffee shop was closed. Amanda and Marcus discovered a shared mutual love for food, Jesus and motorcycle adventures and that their differences helped make them into better people. He knew it before she did, but eventually Amanda realized that Marcus needed to stick around for the long haul. Marcus proposed (during a trip to Texas) at the gazebo his parents got married in, with her sister there to take pictures.
When Amanda and Marcus first came to meet with us at our Studio, we immediately clicked and had the best time talking with this wonderful couple. Their love fills every room they enter, and their willingness to trust us as photographers made it so easy to work with them. We were so excited to photograph their wedding at Heritage Prairie Farm, one of our absolute favorite venues.
Heritage Prairie Farm is so beautiful, it’s truly the perfect place to get married. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the food is outstanding. Every couple is treated as individuals, they fully customize and personalize your wedding menu for you. Amanda and Marcus made Spanish rice together early in their relationship but burned it; Spanish rice was on their delicious wedding dinner menu and the team at Heritage Prairie Farm set one single grain of burnt rice on Amanda and Marcus’ plate. That level of thoughtfulness is so uncommon and unique it only further endeared us to this amazing venue. We had the absolute best time celebrating Amanda and Marcus, it was a day that we wish we could relive over and over again.
Congratulations, Amanda and Marcus, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Tessa & Piotr’s Emotional Seven Bridges Golf Club Wedding
Tessa and Piotr first met the day they moved into Simpson Hall at Loyola University Chicago in 2007. They were friends for a few months until Piotr came to a family friend's wedding with Tessa as his “plus one.” They have been together ever since, dating since they were 18 and navigating a lot of life together – starting their careers, Piotr’s med school residency, and losing loved ones – and through it all they always knew that they would be together forever.
When their wedding day came, Tessa was missing her Mom who sadly passed away in 2014. Surrounded by the love of her bridesmaids she got ready and included some beautiful mementos so that she would feel her Mom’s presence on her wedding day. This green ring Tessa wore was made with some of her Mom’s ashes; her heart locket and bouquet charm (a thoughtful gift from her maid of honor) both held pictures of her Mom.
The weather on their wedding day was iffy and we spent a lot of time checking the radar throughout the day. It was drizzling when the time came for Tessa to first see her Dad and then Piotr, but we managed to do their first looks on the covered back patio of Seven Bridges. Golf Club. Tessa’s Dad was so emotional when he saw his daughter as a bride, and told her that the weather was very much like the weather had been when he married her Mom. There were just so many emotions throughout the day but I will always remember hearing this beautiful conversation.
After their First Look, Tessa and Piotr quietly exchanged private vows at their ceremony site. This was such a beautiful moment. We love when couples choose to exchange private vows, it’s always so meaningful and emotional. Throughout the day the rain came and went, it even rained through the sunshine during the ceremony! But nothing could dampen the joy and love that Tessa and Piotr share; this day was a perfect and beautiful celebration of their lives together.
Congratulations, Tessa and Piotr, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Michelle & Eric’s Beautiful Marriott Lincolnshire Resort Wedding
Michelle and Eric grew up on the same street in Lake Zurich, their lives separated by only few houses and years in school. Their paths didn’t cross until they happened to both attend the same wedding in November 2017…
Michelle and Eric grew up on the same street in Lake Zurich, their lives separated by only few houses and years in school. Their paths didn’t cross until they happened to both attend the same wedding in November 2017. Eric was a groomsman while Michelle was invited as a last-minute guest. When Michelle arrived alone at the wedding Eric’s parents kindly invited her to sit with them. And the rest, as they say, is history.
As their relationship and their love grew, Michelle and Eric developed a strong foundation and knew they were soulmates. Through their shared qualities of faith, balance, and support they had for one another, they knew they could be together forever. Two years after they first met Eric proposed to Michelle (while they were out with their friends celebrating their anniversary!) and together they began planning their future.
I was struck by how relatable and kind Michelle and Eric both are when we first met. Their shared love for each other and their families is something that has left an indelible mark on me. We started Michelle and Eric’s engagement session in their parents’ neighborhood, taking pictures to mark their paths finally crossing. I met their parents that night and could feel the powerful love they have for their children.
When Michelle and Eric’s wedding finally arrived, every detail had been carefully considered. As Michelle finished her hair and makeup I took photos of her beautiful mother helping her gorgeous gown from Bon Bon Belle. Little did any of us know that the next night Michelle’s Mom would tragically pass away.
The day was perfect; Michelle was whisked away to their ceremony at St. Francis de Sales in a Rolls Royce with her Dad, just like he had done with her Mom on their wedding day. After an emotional ceremony and beautiful bubble exit. Michelle and Eric returned in the Rolls to the Marriott Lincolnshire for an unforgettable celebration. We loved every minute of this beautiful wedding, but were especially happy to see Michelle and Eric’s adorable dogs show up outside the Lakeside Pavilion for some photos before the reception!
Just 36 hours after Michelle and Eric’s wedding I got an unbelievable phone call from Michelle – her Mom had passed away unexpectedly at home on Sunday night. Michelle and Eric had flown to Hawaii for their honeymoon only to turn back around to start making preparations for her mother’s funeral. They said their goodbyes to her in the same church they were married in just one week earlier. Three months later I’m still in shock. Michelle’s beautiful Mom was fully present at her daughter’s wedding, earnestly working to make sure every detail was perfect. And on the dance floor she let loose and was having the best time celebrating with their family and friends. Her tragic passing is such a powerful reminder that life is precious, and the everlasting memories of the people we love most can best be preserved in photos and videos. How humbling to know that we took the last photographs and videos of Michelle’s mother. It’s an honor to know you and your families and to make these images for you.
Congratulations, Michelle and Eric, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Marissa & Nick (and Peyton’s!) Westin Chicago Northwest Vow Renewal
In April 2021, Marissa and Nick welcomed their beautiful baby girl Peyton. We were thankful to meet sweet Peyton at her Lifestyle Newborn Session at their home, she is just the sweetest baby girl! After her arrival Marissa and Nick knew their 2021 wedding plans would shift once more…
Marissa and Nick met through her cousin (and maid of honor) Danielle, but when they were first introduced Marissa wasn’t very fond of Nick. He persisted and kept asking her out. Once Marissa finally caved and agreed to go out with Nick she had THE best date ever, and the rest is history!
As Marissa and Nick planned their dream wedding they had no idea that Covid was coming and would change everything. While they had to postpone their celebration Marissa and Nick still chose to be married in 2020 in front of family at St. James in Arlington Heights. Their Catholic ceremony was a beautiful celebration of their love and the first step toward their future together as husband and wife.
In April 2021, Marissa and Nick welcomed their beautiful baby girl Peyton. We were thankful to meet sweet Peyton at her Lifestyle Newborn Session at their home, she is just the sweetest baby girl! After her arrival Marissa and Nick knew their 2021 wedding plans would shift once more, and they decided to baptize Peyton during their vow renewal ceremony. It was the first time that St. James Parish in Arlington Heights celebrated both a vow renewal AND a baptism during the same ceremony! It was a beautiful moment watching Marissa walk down the aisle in her wedding dress with Nick holding their daughter. He was beaming with pride; together they have created such an adorable and joyful family!
After the ceremony we converged at the Westin Chicago Northwest for a great big celebration. Marissa comes from a large and well-connected family, it was really fun to see a lot of people we knew at their reception! It was the perfect night celebrating an amazing couple!
Congratulations, Marissa and Nick (and Peyton!), we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
