Emily and Shaun had a very cool and unique wedding in every way. The bride wore a vintage gown, headpiece and veil, along with gloves. While the groom and groomsmen wore a coat and top hat. i just loved all the little details and all the thought that went into making this wedding something that truly reflected the bride and grooms personality.

Edyta and Angie did an amazing job capturing artful images of the couple that perfectly bordered opposite sides of the spectrum by being simultaneously classic with a modern twist.

i was just floored by this wedding. Enjoy some sneak peeks;

We were so excited to host the amazing Dane Sanders and his fabulous workshop at our studio last Monday and Tuesday. Photographers came from around the country to listen to Dane speak and be inspired by his teachings. If you haven’t heard of Dane, he’s the author of the amazing book, Fast Track Photographer which has been helping photographers everywhere improve their businesses and really bring wedding photography to the next level.

It was an amazing two day intensive and I was just so happy to meet all the other wonderful photographers who attended. We felt like family by the end!

We had so much fun today working with a fantastic couple who posed for our trash the dress/fashion shoot today. Jenn & Gregg just got married 7 months ago and they are as sweet as can be! 

Along with them we had a beautiful model named Kara who was a real pro.

Everyone was so awesome and be on the lookout for the video from today’s events thanks to Ben & Steph from Ben Mahoney Productions (http://www.benmahoneyproductions.com)!

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot:

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over three years since Matt and I photographed Jackie + Nate’s wedding (Most of you probably recognize her extremely long eyelashes from the back of my business card). 

Now i had the pleasure of photographing their expanding family. Meet Jasper!

Rebecca and Mike wanted a not your average take on a Chicago engagement session and I had just the ticket. A little exploration of some of my favorite locations was in order. Nothing like an adventurous couple to really make some outstanding engagement photography happen!
