Sammi & Drew

This is, I believe, the 5th wedding among a group of friends that have been passing me around. I love this group! They are always so much fun to be around and the receptions are always a blast, even if I'm working! I loved the colors in this wedding, the flowers were just gorgeous. Thanks for letting me be a part of another wedding! Oh, and thanks for putting up with my pregnancy brain and letting me hitch a ride in your limo after I locked my keys in my car. Oops!

Karen & Bert

My very first Jewish ceremony! I was so excited to shoot this wedding! It was so interesting to learn all the customs and traditions. Everything was so beautiful and the merging of two different cultures, Jewish and Mexican, was a joy to experience. I loved Karen's dresses! She is a fashion designer and she made both of her dresses. She looked gorgeous!

I love this- both mother and daughter's profiles. Both gorgeous women.


This shot is fun- the bride ironing her own dress.

Karen & Bert

Karen & Bert contacted me a couple months before their wedding, and I was so happy to have the date open! They've already been married for about a year and a half, but they wanted to have the whole experience. So, today we went down to the park near their apartment in Chicago and walked around for their engagement pictures. I had a great time getting to know them and I'm really excited to shoot their wedding next week!

Melaura & Jason

This wedding was wonderful. Melaura and Jasonhad a small, intimate wedding ceremony and reception up at the top of the Swissotel Chicago, and I was so delighted they chose me as their photographer. The details were beautiful, the setting was gorgeous, the food was fantastic and the bride and groom looked wonderful. My favorite part of the whole night was when Jason and friends and family took to the instruments and the mic and they had a fabulous blues jam session. The ultimate Chicago wedding. Thanks for letting me be a part of it!
