Germania Place Chicago Wedding Photographer – Molly and Jason Married

Wow! Molly and Jason are sort of mini-celebraties in the wedding world. Jason is the one who designed and created a cartoon book, hid it in the Chicago Public Library and proposed to Molly via the story in the book…how cool is that!! My friend and fellow photographer Aparna was the lucky one who captured that event through her lens and those pictures went viral!!! – So when Aparna asked if I wanted to second shoot with her, I instantly said yes. I really wanted to meet this fun couple and to say their wedding was a blast was an understatement!

Molly and Jason got married at Germania Place in Chicago with bridal portraits in the Lincoln Park Area. From the signing of the Ketubah to the Hora dance, every ritual of this traditional jewish wedding was so amazing – full of fun family moments and lots of laughs.

Thank you to Aparna Jain for letting me tag along and second shoot with you!

An Opulent Chicago Indian Wedding

When its March and the weather outside is frightful, cold and snowy – a great way to boost your spirits and give your brain mental stimulation via colors is edit a colorful Indian Wedding Photographs :). This wedding had all the right ingredients for an opulent Indian Wedding – gorgeous outfits, stunning colors, emotional family moments, a beautiful location at the Hilton Chicago Hotel, an acrobatic groom (check out his flying moves 🙂 ) and a large fun loving and elated bridal party! Even though it was a long long day photographing this Indian Wedding, it seemed to just fly by. There was never a dull moment specially with all the little rituals and traditions that are so typical of Indian Weddings.

Naperville Wedding Photographer Fall Engagement Photo shoot In Knoch Knolls Forest Preserve

Remember the famous speech that started with “I had a dream”. Well! This Fall Engagement photoshoot kind of started just like that. I had a vision – an idea :). Being a natural light, outdoor loving photographer, I really wanted to style a simple engagement shoot in the Fall surrounded by falling leaves, bare trees and crisp nippy air :). I knew the perfect forest preserve that would act as the backdrop for my fun Fall Themed Engagement photoshoot – Knoch Knolls Park in Naperville, IL. I did a quick casting call and found Megan and Ben. These two love the outdoors just as much as me and were completely game for an Engagement photoshoot in the Forest Preserve. Just to keep things colorful and fun, I also added a quick fall picnic basket – with hot coco, a cozy blanket, a thermos and a lantern – everything you need for a quick hike in the woods.

Megan and Ben are actually engaged and getting married on August 1st of this year. So we personalized their hot chocolate mugs with their wedding date! – it was such a perfect idea for a “Save the date” photo.

Thank you Megan and Ben and congratulations on your upcoming big day! –

We started the photoshoot in the evening just before the sun set. The golden light was perfect for this fall engagement photoshoot. The light and the bare trees added just the right amount of magic! 🙂

Megan and Ben were so perfect for each other – Ben makes Megan laugh and she has such an adorable laugh! – her eyes and face completely light up and Ben gets this sweet smile – so adorable!

We hiked into the preserve and found the perfect log to have our little hot chocolate picnic 🙂

This is one of my absolute favorite images from their session!

Towards the end of the session, the sun had disappeared and it was getting quite chilly. Megan had this brilliant idea for a quick warm up…they used the hot coco cups to warm their noses! 🙂 🙂 – I just happen to be clicking away and found this next series of image so incredibly cute!

Thanks Megan and Ben for being such troopers. I really love how this fall engagement photoshoot turned out – Wishing you all the best on your upcoming special day!

Krista and Andy Married | Schram Memorial Chapel | Glenview Wedding Photographer

Krista and Andy had a beautiful fall wedding in Glenview, Illinois. They had a lovely ceremony at the Schram Memorial Church in Glenview surrounded by family and friends and then proceeded to the Glenview Country Club for their wedding reception. Schram Memorial Church is a wonderful little chapel full of history and charm in the heart of downtown Glenview. It is quite a popular spot for a wedding!

I second shot this wedding for Rebecca from Rebecca Eden Photography and I must say it was such a blast! – The bride and groom were so adorable and cute together and their family was a riot! – from the multi-colored socks wearing groomsmen to the high-fiving (hope thats really a word! 🙂 ) ring bearer :)…

The Glenview country club was such an amazing location for Bridal photos. The lush green fairway and the little brick bridge provided a perfect backdrop for their bridal portraits. Not to mention, I got to drive a golf cart! – how fun 🙂

Huge thank you to Rebecca from Rebecca Eden Photography for the wonderful opportunity to second shoot this Glenview wedding!

Joslyn & Garrett Day After Wedding Photos and Pfister Hotel Tea Reception | Milwaukee Wedding Photographer

Not only did Joslyn and Garret have a beautiful nautical wedding in Milwaukee, they also decided to have a small intimate tea reception at the Pfister Hotel in Downtown Milwaukee. Nothing quite prepares you for the beautiful elegant details of a high tea event and stunning 360 degree views of downtown Milwaukee from the top floor of the Pfister Hotel. It is the perfect place for a small and intimate wedding reception with close family and friends!

Before the reception, Joslyn and Garrett opted to have a day after family photo shoot with their daughter Rylyn. Boy am I glad they did this! – It was such an incredible opportunity for me to capture this family bonding together as they start their family life with each other. I joked with Garrett that he is so fortunately to have these two beautiful women in his life and he could not agree with me more! – the loving way that they all look at each other is really special and I wish this family nothing but the very best for the future!

A special call out to Melissa McMullen for the intro and referral to this lovely couple!
