I often say on my welcome calls with clients that I love getting to know the personalities of my potential clients. Having beautiful photos and being familiar with a venue is all fine and wonderful, but having things in common and a good vibe with clients is ideal. On our first call, we discussed tacos, music, theater, and of course, their Firehouse Chicago wedding.
It was a beautiful October day, and it all began at Cubs stadium with some fun poses under the custom sign (who doesn't love that) followed by portraits with their sweet puppy and close friends and private vows at their wedding venue, Firehouse Chicago!

For their first look, Samantha met Josh in their floral-filled backyard and his reaction was touching beyond words. For their ceremony, florals by Katie Ford adorned the fireplace with roses, hydrangeas, and greenery!

Nic & Stacy. Fun fact, after these two met they realized they lived less than a mile from each other! From that point on they built their life together with their rescue dog Sampson and trips full of wine, music, and snowboarding. Capturing this beautiful day was being a witness to so many moments, big and small, with two best friends. I loved their first look at Lakeshore East followed by portraits along the Chicago riverwalk and a reception at the stunning LM Studio!

A classic summer wedding at the Gardens of Woodstock captured by wedding photographer, Ashley Hamm Photography. I first met Stephanie and Noe at a music festival years ago and fell in love with their personalities and talents!

It's year three with these sweet faces, and their fall family session is one of my favorites! These sweet girls are always bundles of energy and laughter. They brought so much joy to the session, and I couldn't help but smile as I captured their genuine happiness together.
