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.
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Wilder Mansion Garden Wedding - Caitlin & Mark
It’s the perfect moment to relive this day as I sit inside on my computer avoiding this -3 day. Mark & Caitlin’s outdoor garden ceremony at the Wilder Mansion was pure joy, warmth, sunshine, and life this summer. …and this is just a taste of what’s to come for their larger celebration in 2021! It truly is a gift to get to have the loveliest couples for two years in a row despite the circumstances that has surrounded this past year. As much as we’re looking forward to this upcoming year, we’re also so thankful for Caitlin & Mark’s intimate wedding ceremony and getting to be there to capture their first look and “I do’s”. Everything about this day is filling us back up and gearing us up for more days like these. Caitlin & Mark, it was such a treat! Cannot wait to capture you both again with more of your loved ones by your side!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Autumn Chicago Elopement - Emily & Brandon
Emily and Brandon are two of the most lovely humans we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. These two had a wedding scheduled for April of 2020. They were the first couple we figured this all out with and I cannot begin to express how thankful we are to still get to work with them this upcoming year as they celebrate with more of their friends and loved ones. To say that they handled this last year in stride and grace is an understatement . We have SO MUCH respect for them. Their kindness and their communication as we just simply took last spring day by day. They decided on an intimate elopement this past fall and they tied the knot in Chicago surrounded by their very closest family members. It was beautiful. Their joy wasn’t squelched by the pandemic, and we’re beyond excited to get to keep them with us this upcoming year. For now, enjoy all the beauty and joy from their first wedding celebration!
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | North Avenue Beach Engagement Session
Winter engagement sessions at North Avenue Beach in Chicago have to be some of my most favorite of all time. If you’re willing to brave the wind and the chill from Lake Michigan, it’s so worth it! The winter light, the frost, and the glow are glorious! Leo and Evie worked for these and it was such a joy to capture them!

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 | Gabe & Tiffany - Chicago Engagement Session
