Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Independence Grove Wedding - Richard & Molly
This day was exactly what I needed to relive on this cold and grey January day. As I relived all of these moments from Molly & Richard’s summer wedding at Independence Grove in Libertyville, I could feel the warm breeze and sunshine on my skin. This day was heaven on earth. If what you give out truly comes back to you someday, then these two have a whole lot of goodness coming their way. Truly two of the warmest, kindest, joy-filled people we’ve ever had the gift of coming across.

It was just perfection. We’re crazy about these two, this day, and this gorgeous natural venue. Molly & Richard, may your marriage always be as warm, sweet, and beautiful as your wedding day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us the privilege to witness and capture it! All our love! - Jordan & Meg

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!

What a treat to relive this day all over again. Geoff & Kristen’s story is so beautiful and unique and we are beyond honored to have had the privilege of getting to capture this outrageously beautiful day. Every moment of the day was planned with so much intention and honor towards their story, loved ones, and family. Kristen and Geoff are surrounded by the most incredible tribe who came together to celebrate them and it’s clear that they couldn’t be more adored. The joy and laughter filled us to the brim and it’s even a blessing to have relived this day to share with you all today. Their lakeside ceremony and tented reception was equally beautiful, elegant, and relaxed. Lawn games filled the grounds and the sweetest littles filled the resort running, playing, and enjoying every moment with their families. It just doesn’t get any more delightful than this. Kristen & Geoff, your family is beautiful and we’re so thankful to have gotten to capture it! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

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

Oh my goodness gracious. Where to even begin with Nick & Lorielle’s off the charts stunning, classic Chicago Wedding day?! When we met Nick & Lorielle, we knew these two would be a treat to get to spend the day with. They are adorable as individuals and even more adorable with one another.

Eric & Sara wanted to leave Chicago for a laid back destination wedding in Wisconsin, and it was perfect.

Eric & Sara, thank you for the honor of getting to capture the love and beauty that surrounded your day from beginning to end!

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! We have a new found love for early spring weddings after this year. What truly made this day was the sweetness of these two and their families and friends. Kim is one of those people who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. There are certain weddings that make me feel happy and peaceful as I relive it for our blog and this is one of them. Days surrounded by kind families, kind vendors, classic elegance, and a well planned timeline are our version of heaven. Kim’s natural color palette were a treat for our cameras. Creams, greens, and touches of natural lavender made us swoon. And let’s not even get us started on how much we adore shooting at the Rockford Bank & Trust Pavilion. Perfection. Absolute perfection. Kim & Thad, you guys are a dream. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for entrusting this incredible celebration with us!

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.

I’m not sure there is anything more dreamy than a fall wedding on Lake Geneva. Mollie & Tyler flew all the way from Seattle to join their family and friends for one incredible destination wedding at The Abbey Resort. These two did all their planning from across the country. If you’ve ever been in that situation, you know how hard it is to nail down all those details from afar, but this day couldn’t have come together more beautifully. Their whites, creams, and greenery paired so romantically with the changing leaves and Autumn light. What a treat of a day to capture. And it’s true. West Coasters are truly as laid back and go with the flow as they say : ) Mollie & Tyler, thank you for the honor of allowing us to capture such a sweet and elegant destination wedding at one of our favorite places of all time.

From the moment we met Matt and Meghan months and months before their wedding day, we just completely clicked. It was such a joy to be a part of this day from the moment it began until the moment it ended. These two are one in a million. The smiles were constant and easy. They were so naturally calm, laid back, and just ready to be married. Their families and friends were as equally delightful. The sun glowed as beautifully as these two did. We’re crazy over this day and I’m so excited to finally share some of our favorite moments from it.

- The way Matt looked at Meghan all day from the moment he saw her walk down the aisle.
- The beautiful song Meghan’s brother sang for the two of them before dinner.

These two were such a joy to capture from beginning to end. After capturing days like this, I love the harp on how Stress -Free your wedding day can be if you plan for it from the very beginning! So, future brides, take notes from our girl, Tara! …make sure you keep a lookout for their beautiful lei exchange at their outdoor ceremony. They lived in Hawaii for a while before coming back to their original homes and incorporated that part of their journey into their beautiful ceremony!

After spending the day with their entire bridal party and family, it’s easy to see that Tara & Trevor are so LOVED. …they’re very easy to love! We always enjoy getting to capture a wedding day at the Marriott Lincolnshire. There is so much to be said for an all inclusive venue where you can spend the day free of stress and travel. From getting ready, to fist look, to ceremony, to reception: everything is just right outside your doorstep. This setup was incredible and the their team was on point. …not only did they have everything all in one location, but they also had a planner who was on top of the small details. Brides, if you’re considering having a wedding planner or a day of coordinator, we promise that will be something that you will NOT regret it! After capturing days like this, I love the harp on how Stress -Free your wedding day can be if you plan for it from the very beginning! So, future brides, take notes from our girl, Tara! Keeping things simple, like locations, can be a LIFESAVER! And , ultimately, the less you travel on your wedding day, the more you can enjoy genuine & natural photo time, time with your friends and loved ones, and even time to stop and enjoy a cocktail for the entirety of your cocktail hour! Yes, it can be done! We loved this day, this couple, the wonderful guys over at Oakhouse Wedding Films, and the joy these two had for each other all day. …make sure you keep a lookout below for their beautiful lei exchange at their outdoor ceremony.

I think more couples need to have morning brunch weddings. Because nothing says “I love you” more than celebrating over heaping plates of Chicken N’ Waffles and Southern Shrimp & Grits! I’m mean, Come On! Everything about this Danada House wedding day was as warm, cheerful, meaningful, and as beautiful as Scott & Courtney are on the inside & out.

I’m mean, Come On! Everything about this Danada House wedding day was as warm, cheerful, meaningful, and as beautiful as Scott & Courtney are on the inside & out. Elegant and comfortable. Romanic and playful. Luminous and warm. Everything the Danada House and these two love birds embody. Did we mention the Chicken N’ Waffles? I think so. I just can’t get them off my brain. Also, I think everyone simply has more energy on the dance floor when the sun is still out. At least, it was true for this incredible group. …and we cannot help but celebrate natural light from beginning till end of this day! Courtney & Scott, it was an honor to get to capture all the love and beauty. This is one of our most favorite days to relive and we’re blessed to have been witnesses!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Grand Geneva Wedding - Charlie & Lianna
Charlie and Lianna said “I do” on the first of September at St. Andrew’s Parish in Delavan, Wi followed by the most elegant and luxurious reception at the mountain top chalet at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. Every square inch of this day was surrounded by the most lush floral displays by Lilypots. (Their floral chandelier at the Grand Geneva is a MUST see!) Lianna & Charlie’s guests lounged on luxurious velvet chairs, including their insanely romantic sweetheart table by Forever Birdy and floral backdrop by Lilypots. The Yerkes Observatory made for a grand backdrop for their portraits! Lianna & Charlie, what an honor and a joy it was to capture your day. Your love for one another was contagious and we still cannot get over your beautiful first dance. (It was AMAZING! Go and see for yourself!)

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Patrick Haley Mansion Wedding - Kyle & Ashley
It was such an honor to capture these two who so naturally laughed, and played the whole day long. Even when we were in a race against the late August rain, these two were calm, cool, and all smiles. This classic Estate wedding was so light hearted and so fun that we couldn’t help but feel all filled up inside. Truly, two of the kindest and warmest souls. Their gorgeous color scheme was inspired by the classic beauty of the Patrick C Haley Mansion and highlighted with the gorgeous florals created by Petal Play Designs. Whites, creams, champagnes, golds, and fresh greens. Everything that makes our heats twitterpated. We’ll always remember this day. All the love, joy, sweet glances between Ashley & Kyle, …and last but not least, that dance floor! You’ve go to love a groom who does the worm on his wedding day!
Kyle & Ashley had enough smiles and laughter to last a lifetime on their wedding day. These two were both smiling from the moment we arrived to the very end of the night. It was such an honor to capture these two who so naturally laughed, and played the whole day long. Even when we were in a race against the late August rain, these two were calm, cool, and all smiles.
