Meet Hilary and Jack! We had the pleasure of photographing their celebration at the Union League Club and portraits around the city. They actually married a couple months earlier in a private ceremony, but wanted to invite some close friends and family for a party!
We headed out downtown and hit some favorite photo stops such as Board of Trades and Lurie Garden. It was an absolutely gorgeous spring day and all the trees and flowers had just started to bloom! We got so lucky!
From there it was time to dance the night away! We met up with their guests for cocktail hour, toasts and dances. And did someone say doughnut bar?! Yes please!
Congrats to the newlyweds! Here are some of my favorites!

Meet Laurel & Brian! I can’t wait for their October wedding! But first check out their amazing engagement session.
We met at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art on a beautiful spring morning. They wanted to just enjoy the city they loved for their session so we roamed around downtown, made a stop on Michigan Avenue and ended at one of my favorite wine bars for some celebratory wine! These two are so cute together. It made my job a very easy one!
Here are some of my favorites from their session!
Well this was supposed to be a winter engagement session, but Mother Nature had other plans. Not that I’m complaining. Seventy degrees in February? I’ll take it!
When we realized that we weren’t going to get much of a winter this year (at least not in terms of snow) we decided to switch gears and take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather. Never did I think that I would be able to do a sunset session by the lake in February without wearing 75 layers of clothing!
We started downtown on the riverwalk before working our way to Lincoln Park and over to North Ave Beach for some skyline photos. The light was amazing the entire time and we got a beautiful sky at sunset…. and Gen and Tom looked pretty good too!
I can’t wait for their November wedding in Milwaukee!
