Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Brown!
What a truly glorious Autumn wedding. It was the first wedding of the year that had all the feels of fall. But, even more than that, it was elegant, heart felt, and Emily & Eric had the most beautiful private vow readings that made us tear up as they poured out their devotion to one another. The rain clouds parted and the sun shone down on them with all its glory. It’s moments like those that you KNOW God is just smiling down on them. It was such an honor to witness and capture it all! And always wonderful to work alongside:

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.

Their portraits taken at a nearby park were truly a dream to capture among all the frees and flowers. I had so much fun relieving this day and feeling that sunshine on my skin again. Rebecca & Talen, you two are a treat!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Wedding at The Pavilion Orchard Ridge Farms - Kristen & Chase
We started the day at The Goodwin Hotel and Iron Works Hotel for their getting ready photos. (Brides, if you’re looking for the most photogenic getting ready space for your wedding day, look no further than the Goodwin Hotel! We cannot get over how beautiful their space is. …with the most PERFECT rooftop for your first look.) Afterwards, we headed over to The Pavilion for their ceremony and reception…
We have been looking forward to this day for years! Literally! It’s been such a treat to get to work with Kristen and Chase ever since we met them during our first meeting. We know there has been great disappointment for our couples and their postponements, but getting to see everyone reunited this year and throwing the wedding day they’ve been dreaming of has been such a blast! These two were able to pull out all the stops and it truly was the dreamiest of days. We started the day at The Goodwin Hotel and Iron Works Hotel for their getting ready photos.

Truly, this venue is one of our absolute favorites. Kristen and Chase may have had one of the hottest and humid days of the year, but they were such troopers and we’d say beating the heat was well worth it for The Pavilion’s views. We’re truly sad that this day is over, but we’re so thankful for these two and the gift of getting to work with them over these past couple of years. Kristen & Chase, may you have a marriage that’s as beautiful as your wedding day! It’s been such a delight to get to know you and we’re so honored to have been a part of your wedding day team.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Haley Mansion Wedding - Mary & Steve
We are the biggest fans of The Haley Mansion, but add the most joyful bride and her wonderful crew and it’s a recipe for perfection. Mary and Steve’s color scheme were a treat to capture! We’ll forever be fans of blushes, whites, and creams! Even her cutting cake and macaroons by Millett’s Cakes, bridesmaid dresses, and florals by Steen perfectly complimented one another!

2021 Mini Sessions
Each year we look forward to seeing past couples and their growing families, as well as meeting amazing new couples and families for our annual mini sessions! Usually, we are trying to squeeze these sessions in at the last moment since weddings have been our main focus for the last 9 years. 2020 has given us a new perspective and appreciation for family and lifestyle photography. It’s such a privilege to capture your family, whether its a family of two or ten, toddlers or fur babies, and we can’t wait to see you again!
This year we have planned four Mini Session weekends for 2021 available for booking depending on the season you are most interested. These weekends are reserved on a first come, first serve basis and you can reserve your date and time below.
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Autumn Wedding - Sarah & Scott
This was our very last wedding of 2020 and I can’t think of a better way to have capped it all off. Sarah & Scott were absolutely amazing navigating all the changes just days before their wedding as the Chicago area began shutting back down again. Many of their plans may have changed, but it didn’t seem to phase them or the joy and celebration that was October 31st, 2020. They decided on changing their reception space to a small intimate gathering with their closest family and friends at a friend’s beautiful home in the suburbs. It truly was such an honor to capture and witness such a sacred day. 2020 has changed how we see weddings and it’s all been because of the most incredible couples this year who decided that their love couldn’t be canceled. We celebrate Sarah & Scott. Their attitudes, their joy, their ability to roll with all the punches 2020 may have brought their way. If every couple can get through the challenges of what 2020 brought and still decide to tie the knot regardless what what or how they envisioned their day to be, then we truly believe they’re going to be able to weather the storm. Because marriage isn’t perfect. It’s full of a few unseen 2020’s. But, it’s about the commitment to saying yes every single day even if the circumstances surrounding you aren’t perfect. …and even though Sarah & Scott’s plans may have changed, we think it turned out even more perfect than the original plan. These two are the real deal and they showed every bit of that during this season. We respect and appreciate them both! Enjoy all the beauty from their perfect day!

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 | Baton Rouge, Louisiana Wedding - Heather & Matthew
This a really special one for us. This fall, Jordan’s cousin Heather married her very best friend and Jordan got to capture all the love (Meg attended the ceremony with the kiddos!) We traveled down to Jordan’s home state and spent the week with the entire Imhoff side of the family in Baton Rouge. It was such a joy of a day. Heather is so dear to us. She lives and loves so big. She’s thoughtful, shares our love for Disney World (LOVE when we get to go there with her) and oozes Southern hospitality. And we cannot be more excited in getting to welcome Matt to our family! He is as equally kind, thoughtful, and such a keeper. This day is the antithesis of a gorgeous Southern Wedding at the Governor’s Mansion. Heather handled the accommodations for Covid rules with so much grace. Enjoy all the Southern inspiration & elegance along with cameos of our siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents!

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 | Chicago Engagement Session - Jake & Kaitlyn
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 - Ryan & Erin | The Haight
As I relived this glorious wedding day at The Haight in downtown Elgin, IL, I cannot help but remember the steam that was literally rising off the pavement as we parked our car and began to settle our gear. It was one of those days where our lenses would fog if we went back and forth between outdoors and the air conditioning. If you are a fellow Wedding Photog, I know you get what we mean. But, despite the intense heat, I cannot help but smile as I remember this beautiful bride. Erin is as lovely as they come. Like one of those brides who you can’t help but need to pinch yourself because they chose you. She was joyful, calm, and filled with love for every human who was a part of this beautiful day. And her fireman, Ryan was equally as lovely! It was such a treat to personalize their portraits with a stop at the old Elgin Fire Station. These two were surrounded by pure love, celebration, and laughter from begging to end. We are over the moon for these two and their day. And we’ve found a new local venue to whom we cannot sing higher praise. Thank you to the lovely staff at The Haight for making it such a pleasure as well! Erin & Ryan, you two are incredible and we hope your lifetime is filled with as much fun as your wedding day!
