Relive that just married feeling over and over 🎉✨💕

Hannah and Jeremy’s wedding day was full to the brim of happy tears, deep laughter and smiles you couldn’t wipe off your face. ❤️ It’s days like these that I am so awestruck I get to be apart of such glorious moments.

POV: You get married in Chicago and the city becomes part of your love story. 🖤

The L. The energy. The skyline. The romance. Your one late night ramen bar.

This day was the definition of chic—equal parts timeless, stylish, and deeply personal. Still not over these moments.

Chicago you never disappoint.. ✨

Alyssa and Matt met me in the parking lot of lakeshore park in Knoxville and I just immediately liked them. 🤩They were so quick to share their fun and unique personalities and not afraid to be goofy and themselves. (My favorite type of couples!!) We laughed so hard for their whole session and had me smiling maybe even bigger than them behind the camera. 💗

What an epic start to 2026!!!! 🔥❤️ Linda + John had a dream of getting their portraits taken on the CTA in downtown Chicago and it was everything fun, funky, and unique they wanted! ✨ What a blast!!!! Capturing the excitement as we ran to catch the train and all around the train station was pure magic.

What a perfect wedding to close out the 2025 year!!! ✨ Kyle and Cali promised their forever to each other on the top of a mountain in the middle of Idaho. What. An. Absolutely. Beautiful. Day. These two are some of the sweetest, most thoughtful, intentional, and adventurous people you will ever meet. Their wedding day was full of so many significant moments that just spoke of their love and adoration for each other and their amazing family and friends.

For a December wedding it was the perfect day for an outdoor ceremony and LOTS of amazing golden hour portraits. ❤️ I stilllll can’t get over the perfect collision of simple and elegant that these two wove throughout the whole day while also embracing the beautiful scenery of the pacific north west. I just want to relive their wedding over and over. ✨🥂🎉
