Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Autumn Wedding at The Grand Geneva - Kaitlyn and Jake
We knew before it even started that this day was going to be as close to perfect as it gets. It’s like the entire state of Wisconsin was glowing and showing off just for these two on their wedding day. This happened to be our one and only full wedding day due to covid this year. I’m thrilled for these two and the perfect date they choose to say “I do” with as many friends and family members that were able to celebrate.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Engagement Session -Jenny & Steve
I’m not typically a morning person, but I will jump at the chance to capture a sunrise engagement session on Lake Michigan in Chicago! It was such a treat to relive Jenny & Steve’s warm engagement session from this summer. They were so much fun to meet up with and their ensembles were perfectly on point. (Jenny’s dress is incredible inspiration if you’re planning a lakeside session. Take note of those pastels, *wink, wink) Jenny & Steve, thank you so much for the honor of getting to capture this exciting milestone in your lives! May your wedding day and marriage be as glorious as you were on this day!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Wedding at The Glen Club - Hajar and Eric
There was nothing that could stop Eric and Hajar from saying “I do” on September 12th, 2020. Between a postponement due to Covid, a Venue change, and rain all day on their new wedding date, they most certainly had their hands full. However, not even the rain could keep them from their glorious outdoor ceremony with their closest family and friends at the Glen Club.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Danada House Wedding - Marc & Kelsey
This wedding day was a Midwest Autumn dream. The leaves were a perfect orange and it was right before they all fell. Marc & Kelsey were cool, calm, and collected despite the rain that poured from beginning to end. These two are the most perfect example of how romantic and beautiful a rainy wedding day can be if you’re willing to embrace it! The Danada House is also a perfect example of how perfect a rainy day can be there. We used their awning and porch for almost all of their portraits and grabbed a few umbrellas for more by the trees. It was just perfect and such a dream to have gotten to spend it with these two kind souls. Their entire day was a joy and smooth sailing thanks to Bethany Moore Events.
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Maxwell Mansion Wedding - Susie & Andrew
This truly was a treasure of a day! Susie & Andrew tied the knot on a blustery March day just a little over a year ago. They decided on an intimate ceremony and reception surrounded by their very closest loved ones at the fabulous Maxwell Mansion in the heart of Lake Geneva, WI. To quote the words from Susie: “Our officiant, Patrice, is a close family friend who has cut Susie's hair since age of 5. We call her aunt, and she exudes the spirit of Jesus in love, kindness, and charity. We couldn't think of anyone better to officiate our wedding.” It truly doesn’t get any sweeter than that. This day was meaningful from beginning to end. The Mansion was a perfect setting for their 1920’s Art Deco & Speak Easy vibes and there is inspiration from every inch of this day. It was such a joy to have been a part of this celebration and such an honor to work alongside the loveliest vendor friends. Thank you, Susie & Andrew, for the honor!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | North Shore Country Club Wedding - Kristin & Nate
I don’t think we’ll be able to get over this day for a long time. Nate & Kristin planned their beautiful North Shore Country Club wedding all the way from California so they could celebrate in Kristin’s childhood stomping grounds. We were so blessed to have gotten to be a part of this classically elegant and sophisticated wedding day. Nate & Kristin have the kindest and most endearing hearts. Every moment of the day was focused on their love for one another and their families. It was obvious where their kindness stems from after we met their loved ones. Their first look was one for the books, as they made a last minute location change and kept the day simple by opting for a first look and portraits at their beautiful venue so we could beat the rain. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and that rain can make a day even more special. This day is proof of that! To Nate & Kristin, we’re so beyond overjoyed to have been a part of your team. May your marriage forever be as lovely and beautiful as this day was. Thanks you for sending us home with hearts full.
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Geneva National Wedding - Dan & Mica
What an absolute delight and joy of a day to relive all over again. It was the dose of sunshine, vitamin D, and joy that I needed on Quarantine Day 467. That bright sunshine, yellows and soft blues, an insanely fun bridal party, and such a kind and fun loving couples left us with hearts full. Dan and Mica are the real deal. Not only was it a treat to just get to be with them all day, but it was also a treat to capture their authenticity. Every part of the day was centered on enjoying their loved ones, dear friends, and each other. They are DEEPLY loved and it was so easy to see why. Every part of the day, beginning to end, took place in one of our all time favorite places in this area. Geneva National is a treasure. We’re so thankful for the gift it was to capture this day and we’re so excited to finally share more!

We lucked out with this glorious day downtown. It was such a treat to hang with Jake & Kaitlyn. These two are SO much fun. Truly, a dream couple for us to get to capture and we cannot wait for their wedding day! We met up for these right before everything was on lock down and I’m so thankful to have had the pleasure of capturing them before this long period of social distancing. It’s going to be a glorious day when we can all come together again and celebrate life and love. Until then, cheers to Jake & Kaitlyn!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Lincoln Park Engagement Session - Eric & Hajar
Eric and Hajar, this warm Chicago summer, Lincoln Park, Lake Michigan, and all the sweet laughter were pure bliss. This day was such a treat to relive as I sit here and watch the snow outside our window. We are so looking forward to capturing these two lovely humans and their Chicago wedding this upcoming year. If they were this happy and lovely together at their engagement session, we cannot even imagine how incredible it will be to capture their wedding day! 2020 is going to be one for the books.
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Loft Lucia Chicago Wedding - Tim & Caitlin
Tim & Caitlin are absolutely perfect for each other. They are kind, soft spoken, thoughtful, and so beautifully organized and calm. As we walked into their hotel to start the day, the rain drops started to fall. Rain is never a problem if you’re up for it, but when we got upstairs, Caitlin already have a variety of rain options on her favorites list. Honestly, in this case, the rain worked out for the best! Her florals and colors paired perfectly with the tropical greens of the Lincoln Park Conservatory and the beautiful Presbyterian Church on Michigan Avenue. (We LOVE the city for its rain options.) Caitlin’s color palette of bright and pale pinks were such a treat! …especially captured in the green house! Flowers for Dreams never disappoint with their lush bouquets and ceremony awnings! Also, we may have fallen in love with a city venue that we had never captured until this year! Loft Lucia for the WIN! It’s intimate and the rooftop cocktail hour terrace makes for the loveliest end of the night sparkler send off photos! This day was beautifully planned between Caitlin, Tim, and Bethany Moore Events (massive shoutout for this team!) Reliving this day gave me the warm fuzzies
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Rockford Bank & Trust Pavilion Wedding - Thad & Kim
The most perfect spring wedding day. The trees were showing off and in full bloom for Kim & Thad’s Rockford wedding. They were almost as beautiful and lovely as Kim. What a joy of a day to get to be a part of!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Independence Grove Wedding - Jose & Magdalena
If I could hand pick a wedding to kickstart our entire 2019 Wedding Season, it would have been this one. We’re so thankful to have come out of our winter hibernation to the loveliness of this Spring wedding at Independence Grove in Libertyville, IL. The leaves and buds had just started to pop this weekend and these two love birds were blessed with the first warm day of the year. Jose and Maggie were an absolute joy to capture and I cannot help but smile as I go through this day all over again. Maggie’s color palette and details were glorious. Whites, ivories, and lots of greens. Her gown, makeup, and hair by Patty McGuire were perfection. Elegant simplicity will never go out of style. Also, we love getting to spend a day on the grounds of Independence Grove in Libertyville, IL and working alongside their incredible staff. The smiles, laughs, and joy from this wedding left us with hearts full. Maggie & Jose, thank you for the honor of getting to capture you and your loved ones! You guys are breathtaking.
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Gabe & Tiffany - Chicago Engagement Session
Winter Engagement Sessions in Chicago are stunning if you are willing to brave the wind and chill! …especially Lakeside. Tiffany and Gabe worked hard and it was so very worth it! That golden sunset combined with the frosty fog is magic that’s hard to replicate any other time of the year.
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Lincoln Park Engagement Session - Bobby & Kara
That gorgeous Autumn light. Do not even get us started. And pair it with Lincoln Park and two of the loveliest people in Chicago: perfection. Bobby & Kara’s adorable puppy is just the cherry on top. It’s such a pleasure to get to share more from this stunning engagement session. Lincoln Park will always be our most favorite Chicago photo stop of all time. Kara & Bobby, we are beyond excited for your September Wedding!
