Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Harry Carry's Lombard Wedding - Rebecca & Talen
This summer wedding at Harry Carry’s in Lombard, IL is a beautiful example of what we’re able to capture when we get ALL that sunshine all day long. Rebecca & Talen decided on a first look and capturing all of their portraits and bridal party before the ceremony so they could truly enjoy every minute of their cocktail hour outdoors during golden hour surrounded by all of their loved ones.
Oh my goodness, we have so much love for these two and this day. Rebecca and Talen are truly laid back, so much fun, and truly such a pleasure to have spent the day with. Also, we always love getting to spend the day with Kristen from Everlasting Impressions. She’s the perfect balance of keeping everyone on their toes and keeping us laughing along the way.

Rebecca & Talen, you two are a treat!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Mercantile Hall Wedding - Grace & Ramiro
This was our very first time capturing a wedding day at the Mercantile Hall and it very quickly became a new favorite of ours! Its location in downtown Burlington screams Midwestern charm and it’s truly one of the easiest locations to capture on a rainy day like this one because of it’s quick access to covering as we dodged in between the rain all day.
Just sitting here grinning from ear to ear as I relive Grace & Ramiro’s wedding day at Mercantile Hall in Burlington, WI. I remember so clearly when we FaceTimed with them for the first time. Their sweetness and giddiness was palpable. And that’s exactly how I would describe these two after their wedding day.

Back to Grace & Ramiro: These two cuties had a little outing planned during their reception that we adored. A quick walk over to the local ice cream shop and stroll downtown. If you’re planning on your own wedding at the Mercantile Hall, this would be the sweetest escape from the crowd for just the two of you (and your camera crew of course) before you join back up with your guests. We truly could relive this day over and over and over. The rain never once held these two back from all the joy and love. We couldn’t have been more honored to have been a part of their dream team and work alongside their incredible vendors. We so appreciate you, Grace & Ramiro! Your joy and kindness is contagious!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Danada House Wedding - Angela & Brandon
It’s such a rare treat for us to get to capture winter weddings and Angela & Brandon’s winter wedding at Danada House was truly one of the most magical days that we’ve ever gotten to be a part of.
It’s such a rare treat for us to get to capture winter weddings and Angela & Brandon’s winter wedding at Danada House was truly one of the most magical days that we’ve ever gotten to be a part of. We were hoping with all our hearts that there would be snow, yet not too much snow that could cause issues for their guests traveling. The night before their wedding day, we received the most beautiful snowfall that couldn’t have been more perfect. Danada House is truly MAGICAL surrounded by white! When we arrived early in the morning, we were speechless as we pulled up. We’re crazy about getting to spend a day at Danada House when we’re typically capturing weddings in the summer and fall, but getting to capture it in the winter was on a whole other level! Let’s move on to how magical Angela & Brandon were. We instantly connected to these two souls even before their wedding day. Their wedding ceremony was one of the most intentional, meaningful, and beautiful ceremonies we’ve ever witnessed. Both of them took turns to speak to their families and friends about what this day meant to them before they exchanged their vows. They were radiant. Their joy filled the room and was joined by one of the loveliest church communities we’ve ever been given the privilege to meet. These two, with the support and love of their families and church family/friends are going to do beautiful things. Just getting to spend this day capturing them left us all filled up and light inside. It was such an honor. I’m truly sad the day is over, but forever thankful for the friends we get to keep in Angela & Brandon.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Lincoln Park and North Avenue Beach Engagement Session - Anna & Matt
There’s no place more beautiful than the Midwest in summer. It’s a treat to relive Anna & Matt’s engagement session at Lincoln Park and North Avenue Beach and remind ourselves of everything we have to look forward to in the coming year. We cannot even begin to explain how excited we are to capture Anna & Matt’s wedding this year in Lake Geneva!
I truly wish I could have shared Anna & Matt’s Lincoln Park / North Avenue Beach engagement session sooner, but this was during the thick of the busiest time of our season. And it’s no wonder why when I go back and look through these images. There’s no place more beautiful than the Midwest in summer. It’s a treat to relive this evening and remind ourselves of everything we have to look forward to in the coming year. We cannot even begin to explain how excited we are to capture Anna & Matt’s wedding this year in Lake Geneva!
This session is a perfect example to show how one location can be used 1,000 different ways. That’s why Lincoln Park / North Avenue Beach will always be our number one suggestion for the downtown area. First, those glowing greens and yellows at Lincoln Park! This has to be my all time favorite location to capture engagements and families because of how diverse it is in every season. But, the biggest benefit of capturing photos here is that you don’t have to walk far to get different looks between the nature, skyline, and architecture. That’s a huge plus when you’re racing against the sun during golden hour.
…A quick outfit change for a more formal vibe. I love that they kept their outfits within the same color scheme as the first two! And just wait till you see their blue tones paired with Lake Michigan!
North Avenue Beach is one of the most luminous locations in Chicago at golden hour. It’s a quick walk from Lincoln Park and such an amazing way to cap off a Chicago session!
I told you these blue tones would not disappoint!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Wedding at Oak Brook Bath & Tennis Club - Toni & Danny
I can literally feel the glow of the warm sunshine on my skin as we captured Danny & Tony’s beautiful portraits right behind the Oak Brook Bath and Tennis Club. The setting sun bathed them in the most glorious light and filled summer’s wildflowers and tall weeds with a glow you can only find in the Midwest during this glorious time of year…
Now that we are in the smack dab middle of January here in the Chicago Suburbs, our appreciate for days like this is sky rocketing. It’s that time of the year where hibernation and quiet allow us to actually get caught up on sharing here and it couldn’t come in more perfect timing as I’m bundled up with my warmest blanket, drinking extra hot coffee, and looking out on the dusting of snow we just received. I can literally feel the glow of the warm sunshine on my skin as we captured Toni & Danny’s beautiful portraits right behind the Oak Brook Bath and Tennis Club. The setting sun bathed them in the most glorious light and filled the wildflowers and tall weeds with a glow you can only find in the Midwest during this glorious time of year. The middle of August is one of our most favorite times of the year to shoot. To relive August 14th, 2021 is a welcomed reminder today.
Toni & Danny’s wedding day was the perfect combination of high end, yet no fuss details. Everything about Danny’s tux and Toni’s gorgeous gown was tailored, classic, and comfortable. (When you feel comfortable, it shows in your photos and we’re big fans of that.) Toni’s gown was the most flowing and luxe fabric I (Meg) had ever had the honor of getting to handle. When you have a gown like that, you can be certain that spinning and twirling is going to be a part of the game plan! Truly, this day was a dream and such a delight to be a part of. Danny and Tony, you two have our hearts! Thank you for the honor of August 14th, 2021!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Celeste Wedding - Sam & Jordin
It was such an honor to get to capture Sam & Jordin’s Chicago wedding! We’ve gotten to spend a couple weddings with Sam and it was such a treat to see some of our past couples again. Despite the restrictions that Chicago was still under on May 15th, I think every part of this day was perfectly planned and tailored to fit both Sam & Jordin. Their laid back, yet sophisticated style was a TREAT to get to capture. After their ceremony, the first place we stopped was their condo for a mini rooftop session with their dogs, Duke & Shredder. They incorporated their love for their fur babies in the cutest details throughout the day (Head down for their gorgeous watercolor invites and signature cocktails). These two reminded us how important it is to stick to your guns on how you want to send your day. It’s ALL about the two of you and your memories. Do the things that make you happy and skip anything extra that doesn’t. It’s that simple.
Sam & Jordin, thank you for the honor! This day has been a long time coming and we’re so excited to share all the love and beautiful details!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chevy Chase Country Club Wedding - Laura & Terry
There are no words for how excited we were for this day. Laura and Terry have been such a joy to work with as they’ve navigated what this year has brought and they were the most perfect couple to kick off this 2021 wedding season. I think “delightful” is an understatement in describing these two and the way they interacted with one another, their families, and their friends.
One of the most memorable moments from their day was right after their first look. They gathered their bridal party and parents to have their very own private vow ceremony before we left for church. Their joy was contagious and it was the perfect reminder of what a true privilege it is to get to stand witness and capture these moments to treasure for generations to come.
Laura and Terry, it was such a gift to be a part of your beautiful day! If this is a picture of what is yet to come, then it’s one beautiful future for your family! We hope you had the best time in Hawaii!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Engagement - Julia & Matt
What a treat to get to meet up with Julia and Matt downtown this week! It can be really unpredictable in the spring, so after one raincheck, we met up on the Riverwalk on a perfect April day. The blossoms were in full bloom all over the city. Julia and Matt are as lovely as they come. I know we’ve mentioned it before, but we are so incredibly grateful for the kind and laidback couples that we get the honor of capturing this year. We’re so excited for their wedding day! Until then, here’s a little preview of these two lovebirds and their Spring Engagement Session in Chicago.
