Chris & Kim have an interesting story. They’ve been dating for 16ish years and finally tied the knot! Kim is one of my wife’s very good friends and I was honored to be asked to document their wedding day. Aside from my wife standing up in the wedding and giving me all of her creative input (cough, cough, instructions all day ) the day could have not gone better. (Just kidding honey!).

I’m going to follow up this post with another one specifically about Chris - very cool story line there.

Anyway, the ceremony was held at Willow Creek Community Church in Barrington, IL. The reception was held at the Holiday Inn in Rosemont which has a very cool Penthouse style banquet hall.

Chris & Kim are a very special couple and I wish them the very best in the years to come!

I shot a wonderful wedding for Michael and Violet a couple weeks ago. We had a beautiful day in between all the soggy Chicago weather. The ceremony took place at St. Mary of the Angels in Chicago, with a reception at Beveldere Chateau Banquets in Palos Hills. It was a really cool Polish heritage infused reception - super fun since I’m mostly Polish myself Be sure to checkout the slideshow link below to see some of the great reception shots.

I’d also like to thank Jim for coming out to second shoot for me!

Ben and Meghan just got married a few weeks ago. I guess in April it’s always a flip of the coin on getting nice weather, and we got a little rain. The day still turned out wonderful as a little rain is always good luck! The ceremony was held at Old St. Pats in Chicago which is a stunning church for those of you that haven’t seen it! We hit Old Union Station and the Palmer House lobby prior to heading out to the reception at the Morton Arboretum. The reception was a blast with Meghan’s nieces performing a really fun Irish dance.

I’d also like to thank Jay for coming out to second shoot for me! I had a blast!

Greg and Sally got married in February. They had a very beautiful ceremony and reception at the Newberry Library. Everything about the day was super fun and Greg and Sally were awesome to work with.

On a sidenote, the reception entertainment was provided by Maggie Speaks - which is a super Chicago area band. What’s really cool is that the lead guitarist (Chris Seibold) went to the same college as I did. We actually played in the Elmhurst College Jazz band for a couple years - I played the Alto Saxophone…
