Kristen and Scott another favourite 2010 couple, getting married later this year in Old Town with a reception at the gorgeous Modern Wing at the Art Institute. We spent an early morning together recently, shooting their connection session around their home in the Gold Coast, talking about architecture, french fries and Obama, and doing a lot of laughing.







Planning a wedding seems so incredibly difficult! Pulling together dozens of different vendors, creating a guest list, finding the balance between different aesthetics—I can’t imagine planning one wedding day, but when I do I might have to call up Mindi and Chirag, as they are having a wedding summer. A little celebratory reception in Mindi’s home state of South Dakota will kick things off, followed by a destination wedding in Mexico, and finally a very large Hindu ceremony and reception back in a hotel in Chicago suburbs. They requested some photographs that showcased the city a bit, since we won’t have time to come back downtown on their wedding day, and thankfully we were graced with what I think was the most beautiful day of the year. Hope you enjoy!


This session was so wonderful, and Sarah and John did such a fantastic job. I met Sarah over a year ago, and was instantly so excited to shoot her wedding, knowing that it would be chic and stylish based on her fashion-forward outfit. I met John at the session, and really enjoyed being able to shoot them together. They are such a fun couple who really complement each other so well, and as you can see, Sarah didn’t disappoint with the attire. I was excited to be back shooting in the more urban areas I just love, and we also got in some of the Banksy artwork before it is inevitably washed away by the city. So many selects from this session; so hard to choose! I cannot wait for their lounge-style evening wedding this fall at one of my favourite venues, the Museum of Contemporary Art.















I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday weekend. The studio will be closed until Tuesday for the holiday; emails will be returned then. It is so stunning here in Chicago today; hope you can enjoy the weather! Here is a little sneak from a recent session. So many good things to share soon…

Jen and Brendan were the first couple to book me for 2010, well over a year ago. I hadn’t seen them in the course of that time, so it was wonderful to meet up with them for a very cold, very early morning connection session. Jen and Brendan are both working toward their Ph.D.s, and met at a bar/venue that has played a role in many of my couple’s relationships, The Hideout. We had such a wonderful time exploring some unusual areas for their session; lots of laughing always yields great photos, and I can’t wait to capture more at their wedding next month at A New Leaf.
