I have been lookin forward to Madison and Jake’s wedding for awhile now. It ended up being a warmer July day, but a nice breeze helped keep it mild! Madison has to be one of the most laid back brides I ever had. She and Jake were so calm and just enjoyed every part of […]

I loved working with Addie and Jacob for their engagement session! They are having a destination wedding next year, so it was important to them to have their engagement photos right where they feel most comfortable–at home. Jacob is a dentist and Addie a hygienist, so these two for sure win the “best smiles” award […]

Laura is like a little sister to me. Her big sister is one of my best friends and I was just so excited when she and Toby got engaged and she asked me to photograph the wedding. The entire day was so laid back and fun and even though rain tried to threaten the day, […]

Delaney and Nathan are high school sweethearts who met when they both needed junior year homecoming dates. Delaney honestly thought they would never talk again afterwards, but little did she know they would still be together 7 years (4 of which were long distance), their first apartment and an adorable dog named Sammy later! Nathan […]

Natalie and Zach met at their Alma Mater, Duke University. They ended up in the same course together and often got dinner together after class. Natalie says they just continued having dinner after the course ended and the rest is history! They both moved to Chicago after school to pursue further education–Zach to law school […]

Alison and Sam were such a fun couple to work with! I have known Alison since elementary school and I am so excited to see her so happy! Sam is such a down-to-earth person. He made the whole day so fun by keeping Alison smiling and calm–even though the skies decided to downpour on as […]

Abbie and Corey are great friends of ours. Corey is one of Dustin’s childhood friends and we have been looking forward to their wedding all year! Abbie and her mom planned their entire day so perfectly down to every last detail and all of their vendors did an amazing job of executing it. The colors […]

We had such a gorgeous night for Emma and Forrest’s engagement session! These two met in high school, but it wasn’t until 5 years later that they started dating. Social media connected them again and the rest is history! Emma and Forrest are so adorable together and it was so apparent during their engagement session […]

I have known Caitlin for such a long time so when she asked me to photograph her and Seth’s engagement and wedding photos I was so excited! Seth is so chill and so sweet to Caitlin! Their entire session they were both cheering each other on, telling each other how good they looked, it really […]

Sarah and Tafadzwa’s wedding day was so much fun! The entire day they were surrounded by so much love from their family and friends. They spent the morning hanging out with their bridal parties and getting ready. Sarah’s mom helped her get dressed and it was off to Christ the King Church to get her […]
