Laura + Grant :: Winter Wedding Wonderland :: Naperville, IL

Laura and Grant had the perfect mix of romantic wedding details infused with Holiday cheer. They kicked off their day at Naperville Covenant Church where the girls couldn't stop dancing around with excitement! We then piled into the warm trolley for a short tour of downtown Naperville. We managed to hit the streets at sunset creating a magical blue sky transitioning into a wonderland of lights!! The celebration continued at White Eagle Golf Club complete with a warm fireplace, upside down Christmas tree, cranberries, candles, and ornaments used as place cards (as well as earings!). I'll share all the fun details later this week - stay tuned!!

Nicole + Dan :: Romantic Naperville Winter Wedding

Where do I even begin!! What an amazing day Nicole and Dan had this past weekend. Surrounded by the most loving family and friends - everyone was filled with joy and laughter. Nicole and Dan had their first meeting at White Eagle Golf Club in Naperville (thank you to everyone for braving the cold!!) We then headed over to the Naper Settlement for a romantic evening ceremony in the Chapel. The party continued at Meson Sabika where the ballroom as transformed into an elegant city lounge - creating the perfect atmosphere for (my favorite) candid moments!! Don't you worry - I will be doing a post later in the week to better feature all the beautiful details and the all-star vendor list!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am so thankful for my loving husband and amazing family that have supported me throughout the years. To my clients - you are AWESOME and I wouldn't be where I am today without you. OK enough with the gushy stuff - I'll leave you with this ADORABLE shot from a recent portrait session (no I don't have any kids...but when I do I can't wait to have images like this). Travel Safe and Eat Lots!!

Emily + Geoff :: Chicago Engagement Session

Last Saturday we were graced with 70 degrees and although I didn't have a wedding I was glad to be enjoying the awesome weather with Emily and Geoff for their engagement session. We hit up a variety of locations allowing me to capture their fun-loving personalities. The afternoon was filled with "paddling," air guitar, dance moves on the pier, impromptu leaves fight, all ending at Sheffield's where these two originally met. Thanks again for a great shoot and I can't wait for more fun moments next Summer at the wedding!!
