An intimate wedding in the West Loop hosted by the Publishing House Bed & Breakfast.

Wow, there are so many special details to this day it’s hard to know where to start! First, let’s hop in the time machine to the summer of 2020, (okay, probably not where most of us would go in a time machine if given the choice, but bear with me) when Cayleigh reached out about […]

One of Regina’s bridesmaids wasn’t able to make it to the wedding, but made sure to give Regina a print out of her face to make sure she could be in the photos! Regina made a point to make sure we got photos “with her”. I love it! Earlier in the day we had tried […]

Wow, where do I start? There were so many levels to this one! I’ve known Matt since Freshman year of high school, so when he reached out to me about photographing his wedding, I immediately was pumped! While the original plans for his wedding were very different, when everything hit and plans started changing due […]

The beautiful summer day quickly took a turn about 20 minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to start. Definitely was a hurdle we hadn’t foreseen. Luckily we were able to come up with a plan B. And Plan B came with some major views! (As a plant nerd, I was obsessed with the new spot!) […]
